Just learned a forgotten 80s show had a pilot filmed in my hometown

I was looking up an old show called 'The Last Resort' from 1988. It was about a family running a hotel, and it only lasted a few episodes. I found a fan site that said the original pilot was filmed in Branson, Missouri, which is where I grew up. I had no idea any TV was shot there back then. It made me want to see if any locals remember it being filmed. Has anyone else found a weird link like that to a forgotten show?

Ever hear about that time my friend's dad swore he saw a film crew at the old diner? Turns out it was for a one-off TV movie that never even aired, and he was an extra in the background for like two seconds. He only found out years later when some guy posted a clip online. Makes you wonder how many of those little shoots happened without anyone noticing, right?

That's the kind of story that makes you side-eye every random person with a camera. Your whole life could be a forgotten DVD extra and you'd never even know.
