Is Sandra Lee related to Sara Lee?  I only ask for reference purposes.

At least Burke didn't slip a funny little paper umbrella into David's drink.

I thought they were really pushing the idea that Burke was David's real father (biological father) in these scenes between the two.  As for Vicki's parentage, I go back and forth; there are later scenes in which the only possible interpretation of Liz's reaction is that Vicki is really her daughter.  I do think what we're seeing here from Liz are some serious cracks in her frostry facade, even if Vicki doesn't benefit from them.

Hey Jennifer, hope you guys are OK out there!  My landlady's son did the sidewalk with his snowblower so all we had to do was dig out my roommate's car which only took about an hour on Sun.

I haven't gotten hold of any of the DS DVD's.  I may get the set with Julia's vamping by Tom on it just to try out the format.  I really need to replace all of my Cassandra tapes--a couple of those have not worn well, probably because I play them more frequently than most of the others.

I love watching Patsy Stone on "Ab Fab."  As a small child my Mom's best friend was named Patsy, so I always smile when I see all the signs around town that say "Go Pats!"

here I am in a world of my own,

Jean-Claude, darling, you're skirting MAJOR dream territory with those conjurations of luscious, soapy, naked Briscoe... sigh.

Unfortunately, the I Dream of Jeannie episode is nothing to get too excited about.  Don appears in a group of 3 other men (but of course shines as the most handsome of the three).  He has a couple of lines but no close-up. The Iron Horse thing sounds interesting--I'd never heard of that one.

Heather, I'd never visited that site before.  Hilarious, nay, Hysterical!

I think a Cassandra fashion folly would be a HELL of a lot of fun, too (literally!).  Another fan and I tried once to count just how many different wigs Cass sported during her tenure at C'wood.

G.

What a Divine poll, Darlings!  You all did a splendid job!

Of course one of *my* favorite dresses wasn't included--that electric blue number she wore in her very last scene at Callanwoody... sigh

Still, I loved the selection!  You have proved conclusively that contrary to popular belief, Dr. Julia Hoffman COULD look sharp, snazzy, and chic!

And then, there's that sweater thing from 1967 *slaps hand over brow* let's NOT go there... I am convinced that GH personally torched that thing in the studio back lot one afternoon!

btw I don't think the diVOON grey suit was from GH's personal wardrobe--she favored bright colors and BOLD patterns, and she was an autumn...

Just checking in with another stellar review for Forever Knight.  It is one of the very, VERY few 1990s TV shows I like well enough to have in my tape collection (the other two were She-wolf of London and Poltergeist: the Legacy--I also have some episodes of Babylon 5 and I used to have its sequel, Crusade, but gave those tapes away to another fan).  The first two years were MUCH better than year 3, however, although year 3 introduced a great character--Divia, daughter of Lacroix, played by amazing child actress Kathryn Long.  (Unfortunately she was only in a couple of episodes.)

FK had some really great scripts (and some that were not so great, but that's television) and a wonderful supporting cast of great Canadian actors (it was filmed in Toronto).

As for the DS DVDs, I don't have any of them.  Set 1 of the DVD's I believe began with episode 210 or 211--the "Introduction of Barnabas" storyline.  The DVDs had some bloopers edited out of them because MPI outsourced the prep work to a company that didn't understand that we LIKE having the bloopers on the shows (at least, this is the most plausible story I have heard). Although they keep swearing they are not going to edit future discs, I keep hearing reports of some bit of footage being sliced out.

As somebody else said, I doubt whether the company will release the first 200-odd episodes until after they've gotten to the end of the series.

It's very inspiring to me how long MPI has kept DS in print.  That hard commercial fact alone shows how exceptional our show is!

G.

Oh boy!  that episode is such fun!  And the Divine Nina Foch is in it, doing her very own impersonation of Helen Lawson!

Excellent news!
