If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #367 (1795) - Jeremiah - 'The point is, Joshua, you MUST decide whether she stays or goes. That is, unless of course Abigail has taken over as head of the household.'
From "#0367/0368_0369: Robservations 02/22/02: Introducing Angelique"
Naomi points out to her husband that Sarah needs a governess, and Jeremiah enters and quickly agrees. She's got the references, he says, and continues, explaining that the carriage overturned, she was wandering around the woods, and the name Victoria Winters popped into her head--which is why she gave that as her name. Abigail suggests he's bewitched by her beauty, and Jeremiah insists she's jealous of it (get her)! He goes on to wonder just who is the head of the household, Abigail or Joshua, and the latter insists that he wants to see Miss Winters. Angry, Abigail suggests her little brother has turned against her, too.

The Robservations doesn't reference the actual quote but it does reference the circumstances under which it appears...
Some of the attacks against Abigail are an absolute hoot in this scene!
Ron Sproat must have had a lot of fun writing it.
And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Abigail - 'It MUST be crushed, destroyed!') was back on August 7th of 2020, and the second (Joshua - 'But you MUST understand, I am engaging you only on a trial basis. If at any time and for any reason I decide to discharge you, you MUST go immediately') was back on May 15th.
And once again for those who may not know, when this ep was shown in '80s syndication it was a kinescope. The color Master Tape wasn't issued until Volume 28 of the MPI VHS tapes came out in June of 1991. The Sci-Fi Channel also ran the color version.
And as I mentioned previously, the day Ep #367 aired I was getting terrible over-the-air reception (which happened rarely, but it did happen.
) And it didn't help that some kinescopes weren't the clearest to begin with. But again, the point here is to show that it was a kinescope:
It's also interesting how much more the Master Tape shows of the frame compared to the kinescope. But then kinescopes were recorded off of TV monitors, which always cut off parts of the frame...
