An interesting article about the swing vote: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/30/1041252418/they-voted-for-trump-and-then-for-biden-heres-what-these-swing-voters-think-now

Had AE been playing the 1990s material and held captive, it probably would have had more resonance.

Did anyone else watch the 50 Years of TPIR primetime special the other night? I especially liked the bloopers. Poor Manuela and the car, and George Gray falling off the treadmill. Ouch!!

Watching some clips of GL, I can't picture Krista Tesreau's Mindy in the triangle with Roger and Alex. She came across as too wholesome for that, though I have no doubt that KT could have played it had she not left the show.

Here is Jonelle Allen in the 1975 episode of Barney Miller, entitled "Hot Dogs":

How was an artificial insemination story even received in 1973? That must have been interesting.

^ How cool is that? What a great story.

It's always weird to remember that Cecile was not originated by Nancy Frangione. Was Susan Keith's Cecile more serious and under NF the character became comedic?

Yup - they stepped into this and have no one to blame but themselves.

Fellow cast member Ernie Townsend wrote in SOD in 1985 that he was impressed at how kind Mr. Parker was to Mr. Kramer - I guess their stints overlapped a bit. Also, was Mr. Parker's porn past widely reported back then? I can imagine how that would have gone over with the daytime audience of the day.

Ana's said multiple times that she doesn't want the full-time gig because her life is in Miami, and she also has other irons in the fire like being a CNN contributor. Still, she makes it awfully hard for the audience to want a new co-host.

IF they had gotten Morales before turning the panel co-ed, I might still be watching. Still, The Talk just isn't the show I watched every day for over 5 years. Only Sheryl remains from the halcyon era. It's just not the same.

Typical.

I believe he was fired just shy of his 10th anniversary on the show. That's all I know.

Ana is filling in multiple days until a permanent fifth co-host can be found, but it's nice to see her get all this love: https://www.google.com/amp/s/decider.com/2021/09/30/the-view-audiences-ana-navarro-permanent-host/amp/

Frank mentioned his ATWT stint on the first TD Locher Room chat. His character was a lawyer and he had to memorize a summation with tons of legal jargon. After all that, he watches the scene only to find out that director Paul Lammers (who he'd had issues with on TD) never once had the camera on his face while he gives this summation! The camera is on the jury, judge, defendant, etc., but not Frank! 😳😂

Was that the Vicki Lawrence or Sandy Duncan version?

I don't care for this opening because the credits going by sideways makes me feel dizzy. 😳😂

She really was delightful. My grandma was a huge Dr. Quinn fan, so I knew Ms. Allen from there. I wished Ms. Allen had been asked about her guest spot in an early episode of Barney Miller as an overeager rookie cop who fears being jettisoned from the 12th Precinct. I can still hear her wailing, "we don't wanna go to Staten Island!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂

Well, here in the Cleveland market the two shows air on different channels at different times of the day. I don't see his show lasting long, either.
