Even though we had to bring Glenn Ford back from the dead because he was killed in the original made for TV film that inspired this series, The Greatest Gift
got suxh good public and critical notices that a series was certainly in the offing.
In the movie Glenn Ford, Julie Harris and their kids lived on the town largesse in the parsonage of the church. In the series Ford and Harris have a farm so they do have their own means of support. Another change from the film.
The two episodes I saw did not match the quality of the original film. So I guess it was foreordained that the series would not last. 10 episodes were all that were done.
It was a nice show. Too bad it wasn't the equal of the film that inspired it.
