Orleans (Tv Series)Orleans was a short lived drama that aired on CBS from January 9, 1997 through April 11, 1997. It ran for only 8 episodes. The show was centered around the character of Judge Luther Charbonnet, portrayed by Larry Hagman. He was a judge seated in New Orleans and had a family that consisted of some wildly different characters. One of the sons was an assistant District Attorney, another son was a police officer, and a daugther who ran a casino. An overall backstory to the series was that Judge Luther had another daughter who was missing or had been dead for years, and he had a search going on for information on her. Several "taboo" subjects were touched on this series, including interracial relationships (Judge Luther had a black girlfriend) and incest (the daughter had a relationship with her cousin). The show was promoted pretty heavily before it had aired, and even originally had the old timeslot that Dallas did during its run. However, the ratings were not great, and it got moved around in the schedule, presumably contributing to its quick downfall. To date, it has not been repeated anywhere outside its original run nor released on home video in any form. Main cast External links
