I believe she was the HW from 1988-1992.

So am I.

I'm still surprised that SB only lasted 8 1/2 years. Why does it seem like it lasted longer?

Let's hope so!!

To be fair, Kelly was always on the flighty side no matter who played her. Not only wasn't Eileen Davidson Kelly, SB wasn't SB anymore. It was a whole different show under Long/Rauch.

He was a perfect fit as the dysfunctional family patriarch in Arrested Development. As for The Ropers, I never saw/heard any comments from Audra Lindley, but Norman Fell was pretty vocal about the whole debacle.

Thanks!! I think there was a picture of her in the AW coffee table book.

I was re-watching some episodes from mid-1988 to early 1989. Kimberly McArthur wasn't a bad Kelly - she really wasn't. She had some major strikes against her - her only major storyline was the triangle with Jeffrey and Vance Duke, ahem, TJ the gigolo who was also involved with her own mother, Sophia. It was just an ugly plot that didn't make any of the characters look good. Of course, the major strike against her was that she wasn't Robin Wright. The two looked remarkably alike, which I'm sure couldn't have hurt in the transition. KM did good work with the other members of the Capwell family, even though it was a little too obvious how hard she was trying to fit in. In short, I think she did as well as anyone could do being recast for one of the show's major stars (and an original cast member). SB did knock it out of the park with Kelly #3, Carrington Garland, whose resemblance to Marcy Walker was uncanny. The only Kelly who was utterly and thuddingly miscast was Eileen Davidson. Ironically, her one-time husband, Chip Mayer (TJ) played opposite every Kelly except her!!

Yup, I've seen that before. It's a fun oddity. George Coe (Scott Conrad) was in the first original episodes of SNL in late 1975 at the same time he was on TD. At least both shows taped at 30 Rock, meaning his commute between jobs was mere floors.

No one can be more obnoxious than Johnny Weir. What was NBC thinking, letting him do commentary...AND NOT SCOTT HAMILTON??????

They should have had Rod come back at some point.

Nope!! 😊

I liked Nick until Ira Avery took over as HW. Both he and Althea were really special separately and as a couple under Rita Lakin. The subsequent writing regimes truly gutted everything that made those two special.

Didn't Roberta Flack also appear on AW?

Boy, those videos bring back memories!!

Someone on another board said that Noah is the Scrappy Doo of SVU. If that's not the perfect analogy, I don't know what is!!! 😂

Jeffrey Tambor speaks publicly for the first time since the accusations against him came out: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/features/lines-got-blurred-jeffrey-tambor-an-up-close-look-at-harassment-claims-transparent-1108939

Rod Belding!!!!

I agree with that. It was a big mistake on the show's part to try to make Anthony Cannon into another Gerald Gordon. The audience obviously didn't buy it, and thus he was backburnered until they decided to make Tom terminally ill.

LOL aired its final episode on February 1, 1980...so you won't find many episodes of the show from that decade.

Jonathan Hogan (Walter Douglas, the homophobic father of Ryan Phillippe's Billy) has just turned up in Retro TV's rerun cycle of The Doctors as Jerry Dancy. He first aired on TD in December 1975.

Hal Linden - Barney Miller himself - will be guesting in next week's episode. I take it he will be the bad guy. 😉

Don't forget that Gerald Gordon's short-term return as Nick will be coming up sooner rather than later in the rerun cycle. It will definitely be more interesting with him back in the mix.

Thank you, @Franko!!
