A Fantasy / Sci-Fi TV series that aired Friday Nights on NBC for 6 episodes From January to April of 1992.
Created by Wes Craven and Thomas Baum starring Jack Coleman, Lindsay Frost and Robert Englund.
It's about a mysterious and mystical all-night cafe that gives second chances to deserving people. It's staffed by Frank (Coleman) and Fay (Frost), two people who made bad choices in life and whose paths crossed with the cafe in the first episode. There's also Blackie (Englund), an enigmatic figure who shows up at the cafe whenever the plot needs him to. Together, they use the powers over time and space that the cafe grants them to help the worthy and punish the evil, just as Frank & Fay have been helped. It's "The Twilight Zone" meets "Fantasy Island" meets "Cheers" (as Craven often said in interviews).
