The original six-part miniseries was produced by Britain's Channel 4 Television Corporation in conjunction with San Francisco's PBS station KQED and PBS' American Playhouse. In deference to local standards, PBS gave stations the option of showing an edited version in which male and female body parts were obscured by pixelation. Amid the controversy surrounding the homosexual themes, nudity, and illicit drug use in the miniseries, Tales of the City gave PBS its highest ratings ever for a dramatic programme.

The miniseries premiered on Channel 4 in the UK on 28 September 1993, and was screened by PBS in the US in January 1994. With Brian and his beat-up RV, she journeys into the dusty troubled heart of her Depression childhood to unearth a lifetime of secrets and dreams and attend to unfinished business she has long avoided.Following the storyline in Maupin's first book, the first miniseries begins in the summer of 1976, following Mary Ann's decision to remain permanently in San Francisco following her vacation there and spans the next several months, concluding on New Year's Day 1977. Anna herself has another destination in mind: a lonely stretch of road outside of Winnemucca where the 16-year-old boy she once was ran away from the whorehouse he called home. Some members of Annaâe(tm)s family are bound for the otherworldly landscape of Burning Man, the art community in Nevadaâe(tm)s Black Rock Desert where 60,000 revelers gather to construct a city designed to last only one week. Madrigal has seemingly found peace with her âeoelogical familyâe in San Francisco: her devoted young caretaker Jake Greenleaf her former tenant Brian Hawkins and his daughter Shawna and Michael Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton, who have known and loved Anna for nearly four decades.

Now ninety-two, and committed to the notion of âeoeleaving like a lady,âe Mrs.
