[CTP/FITBs]

[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

Set-up:
Q: "Yes Daphne, you're witnessing the most hideous, immoral excess of the 20th century: _________________!!!"
D (speaking in Q's head I guess):  "No, I can't look!!!!   Well, maybe just a little..."

 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

ABC-TV's The Brady Bunch!!!

NBC-TV's The Wonderful World of Disney!!!

CBS-TV's Family Affair!!!

[Uncle Roger]

After hours at the Brittany du Soir

[Mysterious Benefactor]

     Too funny!! 

[Uncle Roger]

If those walls could talk!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  If only!! Recalling what went on there after taping is the book that should have gotten written!! Each actor could have done their own chapter of recollections    But alas...)

[Uncle Roger]

I'd love to read that! I imagine that a few of the cast only went for food and drinks, not necessarily in that order. A few others may have otherwise indulged.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  Even from what little we do know, there probably would have been enough material for more than one book!!    Though if PomPress were the publisher, who knows how many of the stories KLS would have nixed?!  )

[Uncle Roger]

That's a very good question. While KLS goes to great lengths to paint life on the set as something just shy of a Disney movie, her costars have been quite a bit more blunt. ("And what show were you on, dear?") But her fictionalized depiction of life on the set in Dark Passages is less than flattering.

Uncle Roger,

From my recollections of KLS's book, "Dark Passages," I don't think that either Mitchell Ryan or the late David Ford would have cared for the way their characters were portrayed in that novel.

Bob

[Uncle Roger]

Quite so, Bob. I don't think that Nancy Barrett would have been especially pleased either.

[Bob_the_Bartender]

Yes, Uncle Roger, your comment regarding Nancy Barrett is well taken.  In reading the book, it was fun trying to match up the fictional characters of the novel with the original DS' beloved television characters.

[Uncle Roger]

Yeah. Who knew that KLS aspired to be Jacqueline Susann?

[Bob_the_Bartender]

KLS has another novel, entitled, "Down and Out in Beverly Heels."  I haven't read it yet, but the story apparently deals with a working actress in Los Angeles, who's searching for her missing husband and trying to pay the bills.  (This does not sound like possible DS material.)
