The slide of Collinwood shown at the beginning was backwards AND filthy!

Later, Bruno was choking AND carrying on a conversation.  (Pins in a doll to cause choking?)

Sabrina to Cyrus:  "Before I throw my arms about you and make a fool of myself, it is an engagement ring, isn't it?"
If it isn't, then immediately placing it on your left ring finger already made you look like one.

We got a kissless engagement scene between Cyrus and Sabrina, and Sabrina apparently wasn't at all bothered by it.

I hope she's not holding her breath to hear him say the L word--
Sabrina:  "I love it, and I love you."
Cyrus:  "I guess you know how I feel about you."

Thomas Findley and John Hart are dead in PT too.

In the end credits, Bruno wasn't given a last name and Gladstone wasn't given a first name.

I was actually pretty amazed that Lara Parker was shown in closeup in that nightgown.  Agree with Magnus-- she looked great, but it seemed risqué  for the original DS.

LOL, MB.  For once, I managed to get my hands over my dog's ears before Amy let out that scream.  Whew!  (Nancy B's appearance alone in an ep causes doggie to immediately leave the room.)

Was the closeup shown of Collinwood (with the tower on the right half of the screen) new to DS?

A very cool leather capelet from Caiti Hawkins' collection is featured on the cover of this month's LA magazine (in today's LA Times), which is called a "singular sensation" as #1 on The Style List (p. 33).

An excerpt:  Ultimately, Hawkins circles back to her native Cali. "It reminds me of falling water," says the Topanga dweller. "This is something someone could wear out to the desert to do a rain dance for L.A."

Mom Lara Parker must be so proud.

Wasn't the original Stepford Wives filmed there too?
