I think Pam and Bobby (and Christopher) leaving Southfork in that red car, leaving JR all alone finally getting what he thought he wanted all those years would've been a good finale. The final shot would've been JR at that dining table, getting served by Teresa with nobody else there.

Sasha is doing double duty too. He was on Dallas and will be there too.

I was thing the same. 

The 40th Anniversary DVD of Three's Company was recently re released and now includes all the episodes of The Ropers and Three's A Crowd.

Sorry if this has been brought up already.

I'm watching from the beginning as I never started as a teenager until Bobby returned in the shower. At the beginning of S7 now and Barbara Bel Geddes hasn't been in the first several episodes. Was there a particular reason for this? She left for a season shortly after correct? Was she just trying to cut back on the number of episodes?

watching from the beginning the most shocking thing for me to discover was that Christopher was Kristen's child. I never knew that!! I just always knew that he had been adopted.

I believe she underwent heart surgery and missed out on the earlier episodes and is replaced next season. I remember when I, similar to you, decided to watch all the eoisode from the very beginning not too long ago and noticed she was absent and thought that this would be the season Geddes gets replaced by Donna Reed but it's not.

Yes, she had surgery after season 6 was over. She returned after missing 11 episodes I believe. Then after season 7 her contract was up. Barbara wanted more to do and a pay raise. The talks ended with no new contract and Bel Geddes walked and Miss Ellie didn't appear in the early episodes of season 8. 

Producers decided to recast with Donna Reed.

    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
