My personal fave eps, besides the ones with Pappa Karlen, are the early black and whites. I often say that I grew up in a black and white world - television and my relationship to the world revolved around Mister Ed, Dennis the Menice, and Ed Sullivan - all viewed in black and white. I love the Bill Malloy story (and am sorry that character didn't continue on), the Laura story, and the Jason/Liz thing. My earliest recollection of DS is when I was eight or nine. coming home to watch the show after school and my mother ironing in her bra because it was too hot out. But anyway, I think the Laura storyline is good, the Jason/Liz thing is good, Willie and Barn are good. So how did these storylines include Josette? I personally think that the writers had an idea in mind, but weren't sure where to go with it. But, but, but, but, but...I think they found their niche when Barnabas came along. DS reminds me of the Epstein Brothers at Warners. They had no clue where Casablanca was going to go, they just went along with the flow. And I think that's where the natural writing and acting talent does its best. My humble viewpoint.
