If you're going to be watching TV Friday's at 10, instead of Picket
Fences, I'd strongly recommend "I'll Fly Away".  It is not TP from a
story-telling sense, but the ambiguity and lack of clear right and
wrong in the character's lives has some parallels to TP, in my
opinion.  The characters are living through confusing times,
witnessing unsettling events, and they don't always react in the right way.

Although it's from the same folks who created Northern Exposure (and
St. Elsewhere :-)), the episodes are not wrapped up with happy little
endings and Chris-in-the-Morning homilies.

NBC only ordered 13 episodes this season, so watch it while you can.
