This episode was originally part of a "special edition" of ABC's "T.G.I.F." lineup, in which all of the network's Friday-night sitcoms were linked by events occurring on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. After Sabrina's talking cat Salem swallows a "time-ball", Cory (Ben Savage) and his friends are transported back to the 1940s. While Cory is in Europe fighting the war, his pal Shawn (Rider Strong) and his gal Topanga (Danielle Fishel) remain in America. When word comes that Cory is missing in action, Shawn grimly prepares to carry out his promise to marry Topanga in the event of his friend's demise--while Cory, suffering from amnesia, dallies with a delectable mademoiselle named Versailles (Yvonne Scio). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Rita Rudner was both co-writer and co-star of this multi-plotted romantic comedy, set in a bed and breakfast in the middle of Southern California's wine country.

Standout performances amongst the star-studded cast include Rita Rudner's turn as a pregnant food critic, Jack Lemmon as a desperate concert promoter, and Dudley Moore as a lonely vintner. Made for cable television, A Weekend in the Country debuted June 12, 1996, on the USA network; a mildly R-rated version was later prepared for home video release. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
