I'll take "Cool Band Names" for $200!

I still don't know whether to laugh or cuss someone out over that.

I'm with Marlo: that DOES sound horrible, lol.

There could even have been an episode that paid homage to "The Dark Corner," often considered her finest dramatic film, complete with a guest appearance by still-alive Mark Stevens.

Whenever I see Javi or Leo, the only thought that comes to mind is, "Two more victims for the Salem Sniper!".

After Andrew Kavovit, he was the best actor to portray Paul.

Don't forget this short-lived series, co-starring Richard Crenna, Helen Hunt, Anthony Edwards and a very familiar-looking set (watch closely!):

IIRC, "Turnabout" played a part in Sharon Gless eventually landing on "Cagney & Lacey," as C&L's co-creators, Barbara Avedon and Barbara Corday, had been story editors on "Turnabout" and wrote the part of Christine Cagney with Gless in mind.

Joan Crawford filling in for her daughter on THE SECRET STORM always sounded like a Lucy-esque scenario to me. I'm just saying.

Oooh, just getting her to guest-star in an episode of MSW would've been a DREAM. I would've had her play against type, too, as someone who is very shrewd and tough-as-nails, someone who's a total 180 from the usual "Lucy" persona. For instance, she could've portrayed an agent or publishing house editor who's attempting to land Jessica Fletcher as a client, and whom Jessica has a conversation with in order to get to the bottom of a mystery involving another writer.

Of course, it would've needed to be someone who had some recognizability, yet was comfortable playing second banana to Lucy - which was easier said than done. (Just ask Audrey Meadows, Ann Sothern, Joan Blondell and even Vivian Vance). Ideally, though, it could've been someone like Betty Garrett (and in my version, her character has known Lucy's since they were young actresses trying to break into show business). Oh, and I definitely would've tapped Ginger Rogers to guest star in an episode - maybe as a Sue Mengers-esque modeling agent whose client dies under mysterious circumstances.

I think so, too. I could see a series where Lucy, as a one-time chorus girl and B-movie actress (from Jamestown, NY, Lucy's actual hometown) turned housewife and mother, has a son who followed in his late father's footsteps and joined the LAPD. He literally married the girl next door several years before; and when Lucy isn't pestering the two about giving her a grandchild, she's using her ingenuity and knack for zany disguises to help him solve cases for the department. Lucie Arnaz could have recurred as Lucy's daughter, a single gal who's desperate to find Mr. Right, but always ends up with Mr. Really Wrong; and Gale Gordon could have guest-starred in one episode as an aging Don Juan-type who romances elderly women, then parts with their money and jewelry.

Which is sad, because, if anything, America felt the rest of the show (minus Gale Gordon) let her down. Lucy was television royalty. She deserved so much better than a show that was written and produced by a team who were out-of-touch with the times.

LOL!! I'm just surprised Monica managed to have a flashback for that long without Alan coming in and interrupting her. ("Could I have my shirt back, please?")

Nowadays, Charlie would be communicating with Bosley and the ladies via text messaging, lol.

It's almost as if Monica has been hypnotized, lol.

I don't think I watched enough of Dan O'Connor's work on GH to offer a definitive opinion, but I definitely watched enough of David Kreizman's work on GL and AMC to say "no."

Jennifer must have tripped over something and fell into the door. Why was the doctor in the next scene apologizing to Scott? And why did Scott walk away as if he'd been told they weren't going to give him a refund? Poor Jennifer. Her accident precipitated so much - her subsequent disfigurement, her affair with John Wyatt, her suicide attempt that caused brain damage, her shooting Eunice to death and ultimately ending up in a sanitarium. I wish SFT had brought her back down the road, however. If not with Morgan Fairchild, then maybe another actress; and even if both John and Eunice were gone, maybe she could've returned in order to wreak havoc in Suzi's life.

You know, when I watched the first episode of "In the House," something told me Debbie Allen would not last long on that show. Not that she isn't capable of performing comedy, but she just seemed so out-of-place with LL Cool J and those kids.

What about Janet Jackson on "Fame," lol? It seems like Valerie Bertinelli has had a bit more success in TV movies and miniseries than in half-hour comedies.

I'd forgotten about "True Colors" as well. That was when FOX still presented itself as a hipper, edgier alternative to the "Big Three."

Woah my God! Was that THE scene? I've been waiting YEARS to see Jennifer Pace fall through that damn patio door.

Thank you so much, @dragonflies ! Here's wishing everyone a fun and safe holiday as well!

You can tell almost right away whenever a character is in a storyline that, for whatever reason, is not clicking. It's almost as if you can feel the writers struggling just to get them to the next plot point, because the characters are being asked to do something that they simply wouldn't do.

Suddenly, I feel like singing the "Facts of Life" theme song, lol.
