as i said i would i watched episode one...and then kept watching for hours.i hadn't really seen these early episodes in years and forgot how engaging they were.totally different show.
it was so overwrought!and how quaint that the biggest threat that faced these people at the time was burke devlin.mitch ryan had quite a swagger.
alexandra moltke photographs beautifully in black and white but in these episodes she's given a really frumpy look.and gum-chomping,wise-cracking,wig-wearing maggie at the diner was almost more than i could take!
early crew-cut joe haskell was really a hunk-a-rama.i didn't notice it the first time around but bill malloy had a certain gruff charm as well.i can see how mrs.j got worked up.
for those who haven't seen these on video they leave the original commercials in episode one.they're a scream.i know the "sunshine rinso" jingle by heart.
