I have a particular fondness for this week's batch of episodes because they were the first ones I ever saw. Up to this point I had absolutely no idea that DS even existed. But a friend who'd just discovered the show himself mentioned that I should check it out - and once I did, I was instantly hooked. And the rest, as they say, is history.
(Little did I know, though, that I'd only be watching for a year before local stations would cave to parent pressure and move DS to timeslots when all the kids were in school.
But that's another story. And thankfully that only lasted for 4 months before an even louder outcry from DS fans brought it back to its rightful time.)
