No. At this point, it was Patricia Roe.

Thanks, FrenchFan. Makes sense.

Perhaps. Again, doesn't matter in the slightest. I just find it odd since we can see the numbers of views on each post and it doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

Good theory. I thought about that too but then there are years like 1961 which have over 2,000 views. So...🤷‍♂️

I'm following the responses to my synopses (which I greatly appreciated, btw) and I must say I'm a little curious as to the big difference in clicks some years get over others. For example, 1967, as of now, has 1, 400 hits while 1964 has 342. Not that it makes a bit of difference, but I'm just curious as to why there is such a disparity in the views that individual years get? I would think that all years would get the same number of hits. Does anyone have any theories?

Hey there. Yes, they were in the scripts but VERY minimally. They had no storyline of their own and were basically just people that Ed and Leslie would talk to. I was expecting much more because such a big deal was made about having African-American actors on the show but they were barely on. I think Martha only did enough to get one mention in my synopsis. Though on very little, she was on a lot more than Jim.

Yes, they did. I was a huge fan of both Gillian and the Averys.

Yes. The Averys wrote from August 19, 1968 – January 28, 1969.

Irna wrote the show from December 25, 1967 – May 24, 1968. Houghton wrote the show from May 27, 1968 – August 16, 1968.

Actually, Gillian Houghton was headwriter at that time. I have a feeling it was a production decision, however. When Agnes was writing the show, there seemed to be some movement towards the Midwest setting although it was never explicit. For example, when Julie Bauer was committed to a mental institution, it was first called "Ocean View" and then it was, handwritten, changed to "Lakeview". I don't know any other reason for the switch other than the fact that they were trying to move the setting. The name of "Los Angeles" hadn't been used for years and the name "Selby Flats" hadn't been used for an even longer time. Much longer.

Yes. Spending time with Henry really aged Johnny.

It was in limbo. It wasn't established to be set in Springfield until July of 1968.

It's in my synopsis.

You're welcome. Thanks for your comments!
