Members SFK Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Honestly, all I remember about "New Leave It to Beaver" was how fat Jerry Mathers looked at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 She sounds like Tracey. She does look like Florencia. She also played on Texas. Does anyone know how long Margaret Barker was Grace on Secret Storm? I didn't realize until now that she took over when Marjorie Gateson had a stroke (October 1969). IMDB says that she left sometime in 1970. Barker's most memorable soap role must have been the hip, with-it grandmother on Lovers and Friends. Don't forget about New WKRP, which probably killed off that genre for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 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... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 I remember Easy Street, vaguely. NBC had a bad time with that one timeslot on the night (I can't remember what eventually filled it). I also remember the sitcom where the opening was a family washing a car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) See, to me she'll always be Nora, Greg's wife in A Very Brady Christmas . And yeah, she does kind of look like a non-Latina version of FloLo. Edited June 10, 2012 by MissLlanviewPA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes, she did, but that series in general is just too horrific to talk about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted June 11, 2012 Members Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sherwood did whatever could to keep those bradys alive. I kinda like the show just needed all the original girls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 This is the most we've probably seen of Christine Jones as Viki. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNZsaBVQ7b0&feature=player_embedded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Dec 1980 Daytime TV Roberta Leighton (Casey Reed, Y&R) got a bad virus, leading to a bad ear infection (her ear almost ruptured), imparing her speech and hearing. She was told she could return to work in a few days, but she was so bad off that she was feverish, she had to lip read and she struggled with her balance. Just in case, they brought in Kin Shriner's sister Indy. They didn't want anyone to think Roberta was being replaced permanently, so this was all kept low-key, and Shriner didn't even know what role she was reading for. Leighton was able to work through her illness and Shriner wasn't required to tape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 In spring 1980, Ted LePlat briefly replaced Steve Fletcher as OLTL's Brad Vernon when Fletcher was ill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cityfan01 Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 What is the longest temp replacement? Would you consider Jen Lilly a temp? She was technically a placeholder until Kirsten could return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes I would & I believe she will be the longest one. 11 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
