To edit (after the fact) or not to edit? I'm not going to take sides in this debate, but I think what it really shows after all these years is that DC was a bit remiss in his duties on several occasions.

We've all heard how ruinously expensive it was to edit video back then, but I seriously doubt that a snip here or there, say once a month, would've caused too much damage to the budget. I think the simple fact was that TPTB (DCP) were just not terribly interested or concerned about "trivial" matters such as these.

I think DC took the "actors as cattle" viewpoint and didn't care too much about flubs and that sort of thing. Which is pretty disrespectful, if you ask me.

I like a good blooper now and then - "incestors", Quentin's sword thing, Barn walking through the set carrying his streeet clothes - but stuff like someone having to be prompted off-stage and the star of the show caught picking his nose are just inexcusable. I just don't see how it would have hurt them to simply edit those out *the day they were shot*.

I think it's also her hair -- that honey blond is not doing her justice. She really needs the lighter blond she used to have to brighten up her fair coloring. I should know -- I'm in the same boat. And what a white boat it is.

Great, hilarious column!

Her lips looked nearly as bad as that skanky chick's they had on the U.S. version of What Not to Wear (yes, I watch reality TV. Deal with it ).

I think I know exactly who you mean. The Christina Aguilera-lookalike college ho from Florida? If she's any indication of our nation's youth, I shudder. I love this show but the BBC version is so much better, don't you think?

And modeling the dumb, young, Gothic governess attire, we have Maggie. I do think the up-do works for her and it's refreshing to see her in something that covers more than the top part of her upper thigh.

Yes, but that dress looked like a track suit without a bottom. The big floppy pockets over her breasts and the wide ribbed waistband. Fugly.

What on earth does the devoted Mrs. Rumson see in this dork?

I totally thought the same thing! He is not that great looking, as some on the boards have claimed, with those beady little eyes, and he is the worst actor on the show. Which is saying something. I could barely stand to listen to him. I kept imagining the other actors trying to stay in character but cringing at his every utterance. It's kind of mind-blowing when you realize that he actually went on to have some kind of career.

And when exactly was she happy at the Old House? Talk about selective memory.

LOL! Yeah and she actually says, "This is where it all started." Which was amazing because they're always going on and on about Martinique. And if you ask me, hot-sex-in-the-sand beats out tragic-unpleasant-string-of-events-that-winds-up-in-death-and-eternal-curse anyday.

Please hurry with your next installment!

Guess it's already been said, but I had to chime in: Midnite, you are very pretty! Wish I had skin like that. That diva's got nuthin on you. 

Personally I was thrilled to see Barnabas as a bad guy, and to this day, I still prefer to see his wicked side rear its ugly head.

Oh yeah! Me too. Compared with the beginning of the series, Frid seems more confident being evil now. I love the things he's doing with his eyes, those weird flashes he does when talking Carolyn out of knocking boots with Chris and watching the Todds disappear up his staircase at the Old House.

As for Julia, yes, it's sad how he's treating her, but hey she knew the job was dangerous when she took it. Besides, I think there's a side of her that sorta likes it.

Boy Kading, who still longs for bubble umbrellas, wax lips and space food sticks

Great idea for a thread!

Having never seen the Sopranos (and me a Scorsese/Coppola fan!), I'm afraid I can't comment on Tony and his shrink. But I have to admit that when I saw Sharon Osbourne interviewed by Baba Wawa last year, there was something in the way she talked about Ozzy, their marriage and his reaction to her illness that was sort of Jullia-and-Barnabesque.

After all, Sharon has lovingly taken care of him through thick and thin (literally), she's forgiven him for extremely awful, sometimes criminal, behavior, she's devoted, loyal, and extremely competant (in fact, I'll bet Sharon could set up a generator and create a man in her basement any day of the week!).

While he also is extremely powerful in his way, well loved (warts and all) and is utterly dependent on her. He's also had some dalliances with SYTs...does this sound familiar at all?
