Thanks for posting this. Lots of information that is commonly known in the fandom, but still nice to read through anyway. Some of the things I had actually forgotten so it was a nice reminder of how they worked on a shoestring budget and managed to create something that became a cult classic.
One thing I didn't know was that Frid openly criticized the show, or at least his acting and the writing, while the show was still on the air. I wonder how THAT went over with those behind the scenes.
