I wonder what became of Erica's Lempicka-esque portrait seen here: I really like the slick charcoal and black version of Linden. I'm guessing they thought it was too dark for Erica and went all '80s mauve and pink with it.

Oof, that was some Bobby and James Ford-type acting. Love seeing Minnie again and hearing "real" music in the background.

LOL at "Erica Kane is going to New Hampshire." I also had to lol at killing off Kendall, making Mateo disappear, and sending Jack off to boarding school while keeping Sam... the joy of writing your own stories! A fun read, nice to "see" these folks again.

I agree, and I think that was by Linda's design and the writers wrote more and more into her. Linda is a highly sensitive person and before her clinical diagnosis she was always good at going to a dark, depressing place. You're right, she's very good, too good, at "sad".

This is why we loved the stories in the '80s. Gah, Felicia and that purple and gold penthouse, no future set ever lived up to her OTT nature like that one.

Carl, thanks for the Robin/Christina piece.

Carl, thanks for the articles. I love reading about Carolyn's relationship with the show, but it's always so sad to look back on her struggle. No comment on that "Boys of Capitol" photo shoot, oy.

Carl, that is SO funny because I almost included that in my mini-list but convinced myself that I imagined a "new" version and WKRP had just lasted longer than I thought. Do you remember Loni's short-lived Easy Street? I believe that was Saturday night NBC. I know I'm veering way OT with all this, but there were quite a few rando syndicated series that aired along with the retreads. A sitcom version of Harry and the Hendersons was one, plus there was another about a ventriloquist's dummy that came to life... those dummies FREAK. ME. OUT. There was also an Empty Nest knockoff called Starting from Scratch starring Major Healy as a veterinarian and Connie Stevens as his ex...

Carl, I would love to read that! My latest gig affords me a litle more downtime, hence my "reappearance".

More Myrna(s):

In Italiano, natch, but nevertheless, a nice glimpse of the three Myrnas (including the infamous scene where Carolyn clears the guard's desk in the primetime movie, and Marla's first episode complete with recast announcement):

I don't remember him. I do remember the promos, "I'm Gidget" (i.e., forget that Sally Field bitch). Do you remember all of those "New" shows... Leave it to Beaver, Lassie, The Munsters... I think What's Happening!! is credited for getting the ball rolling.

Oh THAT's where I know her from! Gosh, that was such a boring show (at least in my 3rd grader opinion). It used to come on Saturday afternoons on what is now a MyNetwork affiliate along with some other forgotten syndicated series.

Hey, that's the second Snow from The Charmings! I think... Kinda looks like FloLo.

Wait, who is that? Di and Annie/Kelly Cramer?? Chrishelle?
