Even though I have the first three seasons on dvd, I'd like to watch the early eps on tv just to get the old feelings from the old days (nights).
p.s. Still say the early ep #3, The Next Murder You Hear, was the break through
ep. This really got the relationship warmed up. Maddie realizes she's missing out on something.
"I hate you David Addison!"
I wouldn't mind watching the reruns too but too much would be edited out and I believe it would take away from the experience.
shareWell, they fairly frequently would have "fillers" before an ep because the dialogue would be so fast that the ep ran short. Even though they had nothing to do with the current ep, they could be quite entertaining.
One had Maddie dancing and lip-synching to a Temptations song after David snaps his fingers. The *real Temptations take part in the filler. Would they survive?
Anybody here recall when Maddie said "I don't give a flying fig!" David wondered if anyone here knows what that meant. Maddie looked at the camera and said, "They do!".
For a couple of years, ABC television had greatness.
Ahh, yes, I need to watch the show, I miss it. What is your favorite episode?
share There were several winners. As I mentioned, Ep 3 The NEXT MURDER YOU HEAR was a break through as David's "Boink" comments got Maddie thinking about getting out and about from her narrow existance. David also showed (in his style) that he cared for her.
The Black and White ep (Orson Welles!) was quite different from the usual tv blah color tedium, and gave us two views of love and crime.
Then, there was ATOMIC SHAKESPEARE. Dave and Maddie give us *their version of "Bud" Shakespeare's "TAMING OF The SHREW in full Renaissance regalia. Zounds!
For three seasons they thrilled and astounded us with wonders.
IT'S A WONDERFULL JOB is a Wonderful take on Frank Capra's marvelous Christmas movie, featuring Maddie's suicidal dream fall. A great ep by any way you look at it.
Then came the Mistake....
