How it feels

Set in Las Vegas, this drama series follows three separate storylines each episode. A main dramatic plot involves visiting guest stars, a comic subplot features the regular cast, and a shorter closing story often ends on a sentimental note. The tone is glossy and formulaic with a focus on romance and mild intrigue.

What happens

Hearts Are Wild is an American drama television series that aired on CBS on Fridays at 10:00 p.m Eastern time from January 10 to March 13, 1992. The series was filmed on location in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was produced by Aaron Spelling and starred David Beecroft and Catherine Mary Stewart. Each episode followed three parallel storylines in the style of The Love Boat: a dramatic main story for the prominent guest stars, a comic subplot for secondary players, and a shorter closing story ending on either a comic or sentimental note. The show drew mixed-to-negative critical notices upon its premiere. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave it a D-, while Rick Kogan of the Chicago Tribune described it as drifting through "trite subplots." David Hiltbrand of People was comparatively generous, awarding a B- and crediting the show's opulent settings and production values. Tom Jicha of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel called it "unwatchable and dumb." The series was not renewed after its initial seven-episode run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
