I thought Teds 2 day role was Dr Weldon, his first go round at TD, where he was advising Matt and Maggie about Greta?

Not to mention flirting with Althea. 😂

Where is Ron Martin (David #1)?   What is he doing today?

RIP Georgann Johnson. I wish any of her work on Somerset was available.

Georgann is featured in this Somerset clip, which focuses on Marie Wallace's India.

Thanks. I always forget she was in that.

She also played Jack Tripper's mom!! RIP.

Fawne Harriman as oldest daughter Charlotte in the 1972 ABC movie of the week All My Darling Daughter's.

 

 

She was also in the cast of CBS's The Ted Knight Show.

 

Rare Somerset footage in this ad break.

 

I had not known this, but Sid Sirulnik, who was listed as the producer of Somerset, later (1996) was the production manager of As the World Turns.

Thanks for finding that.

 

I keep hoping something beyond opening and closing credits will appear.

It boggles my mind that P & G did not bother to save their shows to save money reusing videotapes, but Colgate Palmolive saved all of their episodes of The Doctors as evidenced by the episodes now airing on Retro TV.  Someone at P&G was not thinking down the line.  

 

It also boggles my mind that the P & G shows are currently not being streamed on Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime or being broadcast on a channel like MeTV, Antenna TV, or Retro TV.  There has to be a reason these programs are not available somewhere?!? 🤔

An executive in December 1976, when Somerset was cancelled, would have had amazing psychic abilities to be able to predict that a low rated six year soap opera would have any worth beyond the tape upon which it was produced.

 

Can you imagine trying to tell a P&G ad exec 42 years ago to save videotape because one day everything is going to be digitally shared across a network of tubes and cables?  I would suggest that the same people who approved the story of an old woman dressing as a clown to scare her niece were understandably not great at predicting the future.
