Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 All those clips from the 1981 Emmys, even with crap sound, are amazing--I love how they actually play LONG scenes so you can see WHY they were nominated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 Wasn't that when Casey the Alien showed up? In hindsight it seems smart for Monty to try to take the show more back to basics, even if she did it poorly (or so it sounds). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ghfan89 Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 Casey the Alien was before Monty came back, that was Joseph Hardy/Gene Palumbo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good! I know it was kind of "out there", but I enjoyed it. I enjoy most anything Robin. I've always had a soft-spot for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Casey was a solid little story. It made sense, it had heart and sentiment, good guys and bad guys..it had everything a story needed. I liked that GH tried a little science fiction (it was after STARMAN came out, so I guess they were jumping in on the sci fi action), and it is to GH's discredit that they have not tried anything all these years since. Especially when LOST was popular and the watercooler show of the country, how could not a single soap jump on the mystery/science fiction train and do something different? They all adhere and cling to the same tired formula that was tired and run into the ground 10 years ago or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wasn't Starman a good 5 years earlier? I wonder if any of Casey is online... It seemed McTavish was tempted to return to sci fi for a while with the defrosting of that character, etc, but... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) wow watching this again I forgot just how entertaining this was. No irony or hip smugness, and I love the music and light effects. I know this is heresy in these parts, but I would sooner watch crap like this than any of Claire Labine's junk. This is way more entertaining than watching people being perpetually diagnosed with maladies as they narrate their every feeling and thought for the camera.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks for that! That Casey the Alien music is from some movie, isn't it? it sounds like Jerry Goldsmith--I know in the 80s the ABC soaps all used movie cues a lot of the time (AMC famously used the Halloween theme for the Erica breaks Jeremy out of prison scene). Did Casey ever get an exit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Oh and random, in the gym scene in the second link they're playing Kylie Minogue--a song from an album that didn't get a US release! LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 26, 2011 Members Share Posted August 26, 2011 Casey went back to his planet. Bradley Lockerman then played another role, as a reporter, until Gloria Monty fired him and a number of others. I have an interview with him somewhere if you want to see it. I think Kim McCullough said this was her favorite story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
