I had forgotten the gumbo thing! I think it was your Loozianna ass who came for me on that one.

Ha Whoomp There It Is was hardly just a "Black" hit anyway...

Yay, Gloria! I loved Gloria.

AMC used to be so full of homosexual/incest overtones and I don't mean that in a negative way. It was very amusing...

Writers...

[DRW50]

Those are great. Interesting that a photo of Erica/Travis was used for that book at AMC's 25th, since Travis was a distant memory for Erica by then.

Wow - so that's what Rebecca Taylor looks like? Love putting faces to writers' names.

[Cheap21]

it still is. Asher alone provides alot of that

Thanks for posting these, Eric! Imo, 1987 and 1982 were the two best years in AMC history so I'm thrilled to see these and in such good quality, too.

Okay, I'm trying to compile a list of all of the half-hour episodes that survived the barbaric practice of destruction. So far, I have:

1. February 1970 (#23) - Amy has a nightmare.

2. March 1970 (#41) - Ruth and Joe discuss Phil and Tara.

3. March 1970 - Erica worries about her father's absence.

4. April 1970 - Amy reveals Phil's true parentage to Nick.

5. 1971 - Erica announces plans to marry Jeff.

6. Five episodes from March and April 1971

7. Five episodes from March and April 1973

8. A partial episode from 1974

Also, in the 20th anniversary special, there are some B/W kinescope clips that weren't taken from any of the above (except maybe the March and April 1971 episodes):

1. Phil and Tara kiss.

2. Amy and Ruth argue about Ruth's marriage to Ted.

3. Erica explains why she's more mature than Tara.

4. Phil asks Nick about his high school and Navy days.

5. Chuck and Tara's wedding (including Tara/Kate, Phil/Ruth, and Nick stopping the wedding).

I wonder if Chuck and Tara were married in one of those early '71 episodes...

Jenny's jet ski accident! I'm so happy this is on youtube. I wish it was better quality though.

Jenny throwing her hair back and smiling on that jet ski is one of the saddest things I've ever seen, only because I know what happens next.

[Jonathan]

I remember the explosion being a lot bigger back then. I guess it was because I was so young. Special effects have come a long way.

[All My Shadows]

If they did that today, you'd probably see assorted Jenny pieces falling from the sky

Tad's phone call to Joe was almost like a PSA.

Oprah should've reunited Kim Delaney and Laurence Lau on her show!
