Ooohhhh I need to go back and watch that earlier Penny mischief. Lol they played that damn song so much I began to wonder if it actually charted back in the day. Thanks so much for sharing!

Rabbit bite, oof, lol. How long has Julia Duffy been with the show at this point? I know she wasn't the original Penny. It seems I saw her name in the credits long before I ever saw her on the show. I may have just missed her but I get the impression she was written out for a bit while she was with her father in California? Martha and that bourbon-soaked voice, lol. Very Tallulah.

And oof, Three's a Crowd was a stinker. I have a place in my heart for the cast but... nah.

Interesting, thank you. I'm glad that she'll still be appearing in the reruns for a good while. I remember reading that in Waggett's book of lists, that she was part of a coven.

Funny what you don't remember, I watched WTB? faithfully but don't recall PD coming on right after it.

That's awesome! I wonder what were the circumstances of leaving TD and heading to GH.

Whoops, re: Steve and Annie, Althea just answered my question about their past.

All My Children Tribute Thread
I certainly remember it from the '80s/'90s, maybe early '00s. I can see the set in my head but I don't remember what was that last event. The yacht club seemed to take its place/purpose. Not sure if the Inn was around in the '70s. I still have it on tape somewhere, like I literally recorded it with a camcorder off of the TV lol, but it was a memorable episode at the Inn around '95/'96. All of the rich characters (Phoebe, Palmer, Marian, Enid, Adam, Erica, nouveau Tad) had gathered to elect a man of the year IIRC, and Adam sways the crowd that it should be Erica.

That's so lovely Amy. Have you reached out to Anna? I wonder if she's been watching at all. I really hope someone sent Susan Lucci a link to her featured extra appearance, I imagine she never expected to see that again. Do Steve and Annie end up having a fling? It certainly feels like that's where they're headed. I can't compare AA to the previous Mikes besides the last one, but was the character always such a hothead? AA definitely has that intense Methody post-Brando New York actor thing going on. So Mike raped Toni and that's how Michael Paul was conceived? :wow: During their conversation in today's episode they mentioned he was conceived by force. Yikes.

I didn't realize Mike and Alan are cousins. Maybe it's just in my market, but have any of you noticed how LOUD RetroTV is compared to other channels? I scramble for the remote to turn down the volume before the orchestra rings out the opening theme. No shade intended but I wonder if it's purposely loud given the presumably older viewership.

I get so tickled watching that little schemer Penny. You can see where Newhart's Stephanie got her roots. It also kind of blows my mind when I think of Lucinda as Stephanie's mother. I wonder if Julia and Liz have kept in touch over the years, would love to see them reunited in something. Between TD and the occasional Petticoat Junction rerun, good grief, were those of you who were around back then driven batty by all those musical interludes??

AA reminds me of Brando a bit in terms of looks.

Oh I can hardly wait to see that! I haven't seen Marilyn on TV in years but I certainly remember her well-maintained face pushing her goods when I was a teen. I thought it was SO random when her name popped up during the Cunanan/Versace story when Lee was murdered in their Chicago home. I saw her on HSN/QVC (?) not long after that and the hosts and callers were offering their condolences. Tom Wiggin will be appearing in The Great Society at Arena Stage in D.C. http://www.arenastage.org/shows-tickets/the-season/productions/the-great-society/

My watching is relatively new and spotty, can you believe last night was the first time I saw Julia Duffy as Penny? About how old is she here? Anyone else really love the theme? I hear it in my head a couple times a day, I also like the later wocka wocka version with the character portraits.

Favorite TV Themes/Openings
I loved that show, watched every week. Judith and William had great chemistry and I seem to remember the young female lead being quite good (as was her neurotic balding brother).

Good Lord! A couple of birthdays ago, I bought my dad the DVD of the Gotti movie he starred in. I was wondering from where I knew him.

Linda has said that she didn't want Felicia to be a bitch, she admits to her own issues with wanting to be "liked". I think TPTB took this to heart and went in a more sympathetic direction with the character. Felicia was inspired by Jacqueline Susann, and the role was first offered to Jane Elliot. Rae and Tracy's scenes on GH were so delicious, made even moreso by this shared history.
