Are real-life sergeants COs? I thought one had to be a lieutenant or captain to be a CO (as has been seen here and the mothership with Cragen, the mothership with Van Buren, CI with Deakins/Ross, etc.). I wouldn't really want to see Olivia leave, as her friendship/chemistry with Barba is one of my favorite parts of the show. However, it does seem that Benson's collective heart really isn't in it anymore now that she has Noah - and I have a feeling that this season finale will have something to do with him and the adoption. Also, I really wish they would show Munch in his capacity as investigator for the DA's office. I'd love to see him assist Barba in a few cases. Bring back the Munchkin!!

Kathleen Murray can be seen in a couple of March 1968 episodes of The Doctors, as she filled in as Maggie for Bethel Leslie, who was ill with the measles.

The wedding episodes should be airing in less than two weeks now - and will air over two days. I'm really looking forward to seeing it!

Is anyone else surprised that SVU has been renewed for next season? So far, this season has been a mess. As much as I love her, MH has to share some of the blame because she's part of the crew now as a producer and occasionally a director. Olivia just isn't believable as the head of the squad - they should have gotten a new CO. Of course, I still miss Munch, Cragen and Huang. But as long as Barba is still around (who has given the prosecution part of the show a huge boost since the revolving doors of ADAs a few years back), I'll keep watching. Also, no matter how much of an annoyance Carisi often is - he still isn't the worst cop SVU ever had. That distinction still belongs to Chester Lake!!!

I never knew Rosemary Prinz was married to Michael Thoma, who I remember from the EIE reruns as Dr. Maxwell. Great article, thanks for sharing it.

If things between Steve and Karen are this bad now, I wonder what things will be like when the baby comes.

Toni Kalem in that picture looks more like Anna Stuart than Maeve Kincaid, but I digress. A Martinez (Cruz Castillo on SB) said in an interview on Brandon's Buzz some months back that he and Ms. Kalem dated for awhile back in the 70s, after she had left AW and the East Coast.

I don't know why it's not showing up, but I can ask. Hold on and I'll see what he can do.

khan, the Charlie's Angels Casebook gave that episode a write-up with the sentence, "Nicolas Coster, usually up to no good in daytime as well, plays the guilty Professor Croyton". I just got a kick out of that.

Does anyone know if she and/or Paul Avila Mayer ever tried to buy back the RH rights?

It's fun seeing her in primetime parts from the 70s - she and Nic Coster were in a Charlie's Angels episode together. That time, she was the victim and he was the victimizer.

Did anyone see the Redd Foxx episode yet? Really not anything was said that hasn't already been said elsewhere.

That was great. I wonder what the folks in Port Chuck would think if they knew that Delia's husband is in fact a mirror image of Sonny's father, Mike.

Loved seeing veteran character actor M. Emmet Walsh as the not-so-beloved Congressman Randall (who is also on the hospital board). It's always fun seeing folks in small roles on TD who would go onto long show biz careers of their own. Paul Michael Glaser was another one - as an orderly and also as half of a dancing couple at Ronnie's Restaurant.

Despite his many years (and Emmy wins) in daytime, it seems that Justin Deas is most loved as SB's Keith. Thanks again for searching for Episode 152. I look forward to seeing the whole episode - in English!!!

I just saw Linda Dano in a Starsky & Hutch rerun from 1977 - playing totally against the type we're used to seeing her - as a woman who physically abuses her little boy. (Her kids, by the way, are played by Meeno Peluce and a pre-FOL Nancy McKeon, and the policewoman assisting S&H on the case was played by Rosalind Cash, years before becoming Mary Mae on GH.) LD was positively scary as the person one would least suspect to be a child abuser - and light years away from Felicia Gallant.

The engagement ring scene shown yesterday was just glorious. Very sweet and romantic - and if the shows of today were doing scenes like this, the soap genre might be taken off the endangered species list!!!

I just wish there were more of her AW scenes available. She was a very charismatic actress and, from everything I've heard and read, a very sweet lady.

Thanks so much for sharing those articles. I'd never seen them before.

Even into the 90s, Ernie Anderson was still doing the voiceovers for the local news here in the Cleveland market (where he was based before going out West). I remember once his unmistakable voice was heard on an episode of Sister, Sister as the twins were watching TV. "Stay tuned for South Central - it's Full House in the hood!" LOL khan, you're right about Sammy Jo/Stacy. I stand corrected!!

I've been watching the reruns of T.J. Hooker on Family Net lately, and marvel how well Sammy Jo did masquerading as good girl Officer Stacy Sheridan.

Yeah, he's still the yellow M&M. I always loved him as Dr. Skoda on L&O.

I can't agree more on what a mess TV One's website is. Good luck trying to figure it out. I've seen math problems that were easier to solve!!

No one did it better than Jane Wyman. Angela is one of those roles I cannot imagine anyone else playing.

There's actually another connection between TD and The Rookies: Gerald S. O'Loughlin, who was the superior officer, had a role on TD in 1965 as Pete Banas, the hospital custodian. In one of the old soap books, there is a photo of him with James Pritchett, Elizabeth Hubbard, Ellen Burstyn and Adam Kennedy.
