pslust Truly, truly, I was even more surprised when I saw how much was "revealed" in this particular sequel; sorry no major descriptions--instead I highly recommend that you see this for yourself. Thought this was a fine ongoing continuation of "More tales of the City" which opened some doors that were promptly closed within this sequel. Enjoyed seeing more life in the City, San Francisco, enjoyed seeing the scenery, and I enjoyed seeing the ups and downs of relationships. One such relationship I enjoyed seeing was between a certain "daughter" and her mother--again no names as I definitely recommend that you see this sequel for yourself and find out who I am referring too.

george_isreallyscary OK so this strays from the book slightly, but the extra story line written for Mother Mucca is great- Jackie Burroughs does such a fantastic job at playing this curious character and it's brilliant to see her back to play this funny and sweet role. It's also good to get some depth to her character as well as flesh out Mrs Madrigal as well.The casting fits the books perfectly as in the previous two series with pretty much all of the same actors returning. If only the next three books would be make for the screen. Can't wait to see the film interpretation of Night Listener, give it a look when it comes on general release.

domino1003 "Further Tales Of The City" is much darker than the first 2 installments of the series. It is the early 1980's, and Mary Ann Singleton (Laura Linney) is now a television personality, and is romantically involved with Brian Hawkins (Whip Hubley). One day, Mary Ann gets a call from Mrs. Halcyon, widow of her old boss. It seems that DeDe (Barbara Garrick) was presumed dead when she and D'ororthea moved to Guyana...with Jim Jones, the mad prophet of The People's Temple, in which nearly 1,000 followers killed themselves or were murdered. However, DeDe is very much alive and in fear of her life: she believes that Jim Jones is not dead, and that he is after her twin children). Knowing that this is the story that could advance her career, Mary Ann works with DeDe to solve this mystery. Meanwhile, newly divorced Prue Giroux (Mary Kay Place)meets the mysterious Luke Henry Czerny)in Golden Gate Park, and falls in love with him, not knowing the connection between Luke and DeDe. Meanwhile, Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis)is keeping Mother Mucca (Jackie Burroughs) company and keeping a nosy news reporter (Sandra Oh)from revealing the info about DeDe and Mary Ann.This is not as good as the first 2 of the series, and there is a lot of moments that can bring you down (One of the characters has signs that he has AIDS, which was just being discovered at the time). And the "Jim Jones isn't dead" storyline is an interesting nod to conspiracy theorists out there. Still, it is a good entry in the series.

Mort & Spunky the awesome cat Another enjoyable installment, from Mr Maupin, about normal fun people who do find themselves tangled in many webs.For anyone to whom the pacing seems a bit odd. Please remember that this was originally written for a newspaper. Each installment had to move quickly and leave the reader interested. It's good to see that Showtime has remained true to the articles (which were turned into books) again.
