Pleading my OCD, do you know how the synopsis is split between the episodes? blush.png

More importantly... STEVE ALDRICH! It's the first appearance of David O'Brien!!! Also, I never knew that Steve (and by connection, Jason, etc.) was John Rice's cousin. That's a factoid that I don't think has ever been revealed anywhere.

And almost the very first thing he does when he arrives at Hope Memorial is flirt with Carolee, who at this point is STILL pretty much only a background nurse known solely as "Nurse Simpson". Talk about foreshadowing of things to come!

Matt lays into Nick...that and everything after was the second episode.

It is too bad that no one that has RTV is able to stream it as a live stream just for the hour. It is too bad no one has a tv tuner that gets that station. From what I understand there is also a west coast feed of RTV.

I'd guessed that Matt laying into Nick was the start of the second episode since that seemed to be the natural episode break. A poster at DR said he'd been in contact by phone with the CEO of SFM Entertainment (who currently holds the distribution rights to the show) agreed that (in the CEO's own words) there was a "huge" market for the show and that he said the show would definitely be released on DVD in the future. The poster also said the CEO said they would be talking to the people at RetroTV about a way to get the show to more people. SFM seems REALLY committed to The Doctors. Color me shocked and cautiously hopeful. That said, I remember a decade ago when it was announced that the show had been licensed to Hallmark and it's taken this long to actually see the light of day (on a completely different channel).

It wouldn't suprise me if saynotoursoap would buy one to get one unless he doesn't get the channel

My Retro TV station covers a 25 mile radius in the DFW area but I live right on the 35 mile mark. I called and they said if I had one of those leaf antennas I could get the channel.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
