Tales of the City is a 1993 television miniseries based on the first of the Tales of the City series of novels by Armistead Maupin.
Kevin Tierney, a Canadian producer of television films for Showtime with his firm Productions La Fete, later convinced the network to revive production of the series. More Tales and Further Tales were produced in Montreal by Productions La Fete and directed by Pierre Gang, and aired in 1998 and 2001 respectively. The core cast of the sequel series remained constant, although some of the supporting roles were cast with Canadian actors. Following the storyline in Maupins first book, the first miniseries begins in the summer of 1976, following Mary Anns decision to remain permanently in San Francisco following her vacation there and spans the next several months, concluding on New Years Day 1977. ........
