Today's show are more complicated in terms of multiple plots that are like puzzles to figure out but they are emotionally shallow in comparison to the struggles of the characters in shows like The White Shadow. ANyone else sense this change from the 70s till today?dandiacalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09769500137964384489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20331979.post-1146594053051898452006-05-02T11:20:00.000-07:002006-05-02T11:20:00.000-07:00Thanks, Jaws and Marty.Marty: I've added a little ...Thanks, Jaws and Marty.<BR/><BR/>Marty: I've added a little more info on the extras. <BR/><BR/>Through the magic of Hollywood Poker (I didn't play there long) I did discover during a chat session with none other than Ken Howard the answers to two burning questions. Actually, I believe Jaws was the person who asked Mr. Howard the following two questions:<BR/><BR/>Did the shot by the autistic kid go in or not?<BR/><BR/>Did Coach and Sybil ever 'get together'?<BR/><BR/>Howard answered yes to the first and no to the second. :) I find the first hard to believe though. Thomas didn't have much game.<BR/><BR/>She was noticeably pregnant during the latter half of season two, with twins I believe.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20331979.post-1146593735336478982006-05-02T11:15:00.000-07:002006-05-02T11:15:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20331979.post-1146577904589542632006-05-02T06:51:00.000-07:002006-05-02T06:51:00.000-07:00Sybil and Ken never got it on?

In fact, there are a few scenes between Pringle and Howard that appear to have been either hastily scripted or mostly improvised to add running time to episodes. CBS already had an interracial relationship on THE JEFFERSONS, so it seems unlikely the network was afraid to press the issue...and I doubt Bruce Paltrow was either.<BR/><BR/>If you get a chance to comment on the extras, please do so. I liked the Howard/Van Patten commentary on the Season One set. Jackie Cooper seemed a little out of it during his chat though.Marty McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084642122976337263noreply@blogger.com
