But this morning, I realized that there were Olympics during '68 (Q man) season.
Off the top of anyone's head, do you know where '68's Olympics were held?
They were held in Mexico City between October 12th and 27th. (But that's not off the top of my head - I looked it up.
)
Was DS ever pre-empted for Olympics?
Nope. Despite the fact that the Olympics aired on ABC, DS was never pre-empted for them. In fact, some of the most pivotal episodes of the '68 storyline occurred during those two weeks: [spoiler]The plotting to murder Eve, Barnabas learning that Angelique was resurrected as a vampire and her attacks on him, Eve recognizing Jeff as Peter Bradford.[/spoiler]
Next...I vaguely remember either Burke or Roger 'promising' to play catch with David (no, I don't believe they actually did).
Were any other sports ever mentioned during DS' run?
The only reference I can recall is when Carolyn came back from horseback riding. But, of course, in that case the horse would have done all the work.
The Collins family always impressed me as a fairly sedentary lot (well, except while they were trying to murder each other
) - and what better sport than one where you can sit the entire time you're taking part in it.
