My favorite is the one with the bed.  I crack up every time I watch it.

Liz:  "There children are possessed and I don't know what to do."
Mrs. Johnson:  "Why not?"
Liz:  "Well, for one thing, we're not Catholic."

Maggie:  "All their money, and you'd think these cheap bast*rds would stick a crowbar in their wallet and turn the heat up."

David:  "There's nothing wrong with it.  It's now 'the look.'  Start getting 'trendy,' will you?"

As I posted several times before, I watched that pilot episode (on the next day, since out ABC affiliate did a day-later broadcast at 11:00 in the morning for awhile).  I'm boastfully one of those who saw it and watched it almost in its entirety from the beginning to the end.  I missed episodes when I had to battle my mother (when it switched to it's regular time at 3:00 p.m. on the initial day of broadcast CST) because she wanted to watch Art Linkletter's House Party and then The Galloping Gourmet, but I won.  During a part of the Linkletter/Gourmet/DS mom/son war, I would run with my best friend to his house to watch it.  And his family was among the first in the neighborhood to get a color TV, so I got to see certain episodes in color (although on those primitive sets, attached to antennas with rotors, most everything looked green).  But I did win.  Art went off the air, my mom lost interest in the gourmet, and my stubbornness won out over hers.  From then on, 3:00 was reserved for DS.  I'd race home, throw open the door, rip off my jacket/coat and toss it on my bed, and slide across the carpet to turn on the TV just in time to catch the opening.  I actually wore out that patch of carpeting and my parents had to replace the whole thing which still exists in late 60's brown shag that's still there.

I'm very impressed with what I have seen. It's like the Marilyn Ross novelization of NoDS that we never got. Well, actually, it's quite possibly much better

I so agree.  I haven't read it all myself yet (I will tomorrow), but The Doctors novelization is wonderful and so much better than what "Marilyn Ross" wrote, including the HoDS novelization.  Don't get me wrong - I love and cherish all my MR novels in my possession and when they came out I read them vociferously.  But they weren't the height of literary art (just as the comics weren't).  Every other sentence!  Ended in!  An exclamation! Point!  !  But I don't want to take this thread off-topic.  I can't wait to read the rest of it, Doctors.  You should develop it more - maybe it could join the latest literary re-boot that brought out Lara Parker's latest novel.  Even if it doesn't, you can write it for fun and let on-line fans read it.  You could flesh so much out, such as what happened from the end of HoDS and the death of Elizabeth and why Quentin ended up inheriting it all, the characters of Alex and Claire, why Carlotta remains and where she came from (regarding Mrs. Johnson), what's the relationship between Quentin, Tracy, Alex and Claire, on and on.  Let your creative juices flow.  Make it a direct sequel to HoDS, rather than an "alternative universe" DS thing.  That would make it even more interesting.  What happened to David?  To Maggie and Jeff?    Oh, you'd have so much fun!
