Alan Fudge - who dated Linda Ronstadt BITD - pops up all the time in "Murder, She Wrote" reruns. He's even in one of the latter MOW's, "A Story to Die For."

I'm surprised Fudge hooked up with Linda Ronstadt. I remember seing Fudge in a 70's TV movie " The Chadwick Family". His was wife was played by Lara Parker.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, an avowed ATWT/GL fan, would later cast him on "Designing Women" as Hence Winchester, the sleazy playboy who harasses and even attempts to rape Mary Jo.

I'd forgotten about that.

I'd love to hear Linda talking about ATWT and GL.

I found Venton's audition for Moonlighting!

Willis' audition is right behind it and...there's absolutely no doubt they chose the correct actor for the role.

Venton is O.K. but he's missing that certain something.

Today in 1984, Nola gave birth to Anthony James (J) Chamberlain. She had the Wizard of Oz fantasy and the show had a 900 number poll to name the baby. The other options were Quinton Jr and Thomas Henry.

Yeah...Venton gives a sitcom dad vibe.

Any idea who the lady is? She almost seems familiar.

She played Dawson's mom on Dawson's Creek. I liked her audition, but she played Maddie as plucky and fiesty without any of the snootiness that Cybill infused into the character.

I never understood why they didn't include Quinton's real name, Sean.

Yeah, there's a Reardon brother named Sean but I'm pretty sure he wasn't mentioned by name until later.

I remember reading an interview with Long where she expressed surprise that the voters didn't pick Thomas Henry. That's what happens when you leave it up to the public, you are guaranteed not to get what you want. 😂

Or even Ryan, the surname Quint grew up with. And forty years later I still dislike it and am sad the children named after Henry were not related to him. (Coop Bradshaw and Henry Lewis)
