Synopsis
In the story line, the Prays, living in the American Midwest during the Great Depression, are determined to get rich by any questionable means necessary. Among other activities, Moses (sometimes called "Moze") fraudulently sells Bibles, claiming to be a representative of the non-existent "Dixie Bible Company." Addie’s late mother was a friend of Moses’s, and because Addie believes that she resembles Moses, she is therefore convinced that he is her father.
Episodes
Produced by Paramount Television, the series aired at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on Thursday following ABC's The Odd Couple and opposite the last half-hours of NBC's Sierra, a Jack Webb adventure, and CBS's family drama, The Waltons, then in its third season. The series did not attract a steady audience and was cancelled after its first season of thirteen episodes.
