BACKGROUND

Don't you just love happy, feelgood TV shows.This one told the story of one Ezekiel Stone,who
was a cop killed in the line of duty 15 years ago and was sent to Hell. The Devil offers Stone a deal
in which if he can return 113 escaped souls back to the Pit of Eternity then Ezekiel can have his freedom. 
Stone is played by Thirtysomething star Peter Horton with the Devil played by John Glover. 
Glover gets all the best lines and taunts Stone with lines like ''Take it from someone who knows...Heaven 
is a very boring place!'' 

This was an excellent series and it promised to deliver high quality,moral storytelling. Of course it was 
not to be and was cancelled after just 13 episodes. A pity as 113 souls would have been 113 episodes
which is just a nice little number for syndication!
