Favorite TV Themes/Openings
Does anyone else remember the 1993 sitcom Phenom? All these years later, I still vividly remember the theme song "The Promise and the Prize", written and performed by Carly Simon:

Did anyone else see Ann Curry's interview yesterday? I think she said a lot without saying a lot, if you know what I mean. https://www.google.com/amp/variety.com/2018/tv/news/ann-curry-tv-interview-cbs-this-morning-matt-later-sexual-harassment-1202666811/amp/

I've had contact with Barbara Morgenroth, who was the final HW of TD. She said that morale was extremely low and that cancellation was basically inevitable when she came in, despite the ideas she had to try to turn things around. The silly plots in those final months were network mandates. On a more positive note, she declared Lydia Bruce (Maggie) as "the sweetest woman at 30 Rock".

There's another meta reference about Jack Lee when he tells someone that he should be or is often mistaken for Magnum P.I. In real life, Joel Crothers was often mistaken for Tom Selleck, so that was a fun line.

I hear you. The only role I've seen her in is Tracy, but from what I've heard of her other roles she was either the ice queen and or/the cougar. No one seemed willing to cast her against type. Having said that, I can't imagine anyone else playing Felicia Gallant but Linda Dano. As Stephen Schnetzer said, she WAS the part.

That's why I'm glad I don't have children of my own. I am an aunt, and I do worry about my siblings' kids. They are all under 13 and at those impressionable ages with so much more to worry about as far as the Internet and other things that weren't around when I was a kid.

I had two through the mail autograph successes today: Leslie Ray (Stacy Wells) and Alvin Ing (Dr. Chiang). The story of Stacy Wells is one I am really looking forward to watching unfold.

Inger Stevens was so beautiful and talented. She probably would have become a major star had she lived. It's so sad that she couldn't conquer her demons.

In early 1985, Margaret Michaels (briefly) played Santana. Gina Gallego didn't assume the role until the next year, but Lindsay Smith had long since been off the canvas. As far as I know, Gina Gallego and Joel Bailey are still married.

There is a little Retro TV affiliate in Detroit struggling to stay on the air. Every Retro TV affiliate that stays on the air makes it a good chance that the show will continue to air, hopefully until the last episode from 1982. Every "like" their FB page gets will help. I heard from a friend in Detroit who knows an employee at this station that the affiliate is hoping for at least a thousand "likes" on the FB page, and welcomes comments about TD (and any other show that Retro TV airs). Soap fans unite...here's the link: https://m.facebook.com/WHNEDetroit/ Storywise, things are finally starting to pick up with Mike...and finally, it looks like the Iris/Rex story is wrapping up. I read that Armand Assante took over the role of Mike in the spring of 1975. Since the April episodes are airing now, I think these are the final episodes with Michael Landrum in the role.

It did...Ann helped out when Toni's baby was born in the summer of 1974. That's the only time I can remember that Toni and Ann have interacted directly.
