I remember someone posting on another board that Sony didn't want to spend the money digitizing the 35mm master tapes of Farmers Daughter and the went looking for the 30 year old 16mm tape transfers that CBN used and couldn't find them and told Antenna TV tough luck.

FD is now going to be on of those shows that will probably never see the light of day again. Older shows are neglected and the companies don't want to spend money releasing them.

Yes, Antenna TV still airs Bachelor Father, a show I've grown to love. That Sammee Tong is hilarious. Weird I guess, but JF looks very average to me on BF, he looks a lot more "dashing" with the grey hair as Blake.

Geesh, can you imagine what George Peppard would have thought of Joan Collins!? He would have [!@#$%^&*] a purple turd watching her meteoric rise and dealing with her diva ways.

LOL....George Peppard was a horrible person and didn't get along with anybody. He got Melinda Culea kicked off A-Team and told her it was a mans show. I also read he didn't like that Christine Belford was cast on his old series Banacek and thought it was strictly a mans show. He ended that series because he didn't want his ex-wife Elizabeth Ashley to get any profits from it because of their divorce. He was kicked off Password Plus in 1979 after he started fighting with the judges over the game and went on a rant.

John James said when he introduced himself to Peppard, he blew cigar smoke in his face and walked off.

I have heard from ONE person who had an enjoyable working experience with George Peppard - Maylo McCaslin (Sally Taylor, SB, 1984-85). She said on FB that she loved working with him on The A-Team and that while all the cast was great to her, Mr. Peppard was her favorite and took her under his wing.

It was no secret that he had a major problem with alcohol - but when interviewed by ET towards the end of his life, he was honest about it. He seemed to have mellowed a bit by then, having married his last wife. She wasn't in show business - I believe she was a realtor or a broker.

LOL at John James and Nolan. I love Nolan's archive interview, he could be a catty bitch and I imagine an absolute joy to hang out with, he probably had the best stories. R.I.P., how could you ever do a Dynasty reboot without him? Bob Mackie, I suppose.

I've seen that infamous Peppard rant on Password. Poor Alan Ludden looked like he wanted to crawl out of his skin and wring Peppard's neck at the same time.

I don't know if there was trouble with him and Audrey Hepburn. In the same ET interview I mentioned, which took place in 1993 (he passed in 1994) not long after she had passed away, the ET reporter asked him for comment. He said he couldn't talk about it because it upset him so much. He had tears in his eyes while he said that.

    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
