Jam, you are amazing with the stuff you find. Another challenge - Hotel Cosmopolitan, a show that is not represented on line. As an anthology series there must have been a number of cast come and go, but the same names always come up. Would you be able to put your skills to work on that show?

Thanks @FrenchFan! I've enjoyed reading these. I used to watch all of these show to varying degrees at the time (at least during school breaks). I would switch around when a commercial was on, or a particular story wasn't holding my interest.
