I know I was. hubba hubba.
I bought it, because I hated Pulaski so much. They tried to make her another McCoy to create conflict with Data’s latter-day Spock. Such lazy writing. (Second only to The Naked Now. Sheesh). I’m glad the show got better, though.
I don’t know why anyone finds the change of Darrins unbelievable. It’s a show about magic. Stranger things happen in every single episode. Darrin’s face changes? Endorra did it. Nobody notices? Thank Samantha for that.
Oh, and Bobby coming back alive out of the shower. Which not only was stupid, but invalidated a whole season of Knot’s Landing.
Fortunately, I never watched either show, but, again, sheesh. I guess because it was a soap opera, it was OK. Didn’t seem to hurt the ratings.
If I remember correctly, I think that also happened on All My Children. One of the Martin brothers, very well known family in Pine Valley, went up to the attic and was never seen again. No replacement, no explanation, gone.
Not exactly. **41 years later:eek: **Opal went up to the attic and discovered a skeleton wearing a ski cap with “Bobby” embroidered on it.
By comparison, when “Major Dad” changed locations, they had both a plausible justification (reassignment to a new base) and only one of the non-family members came along (he had been transferred at the same time to the same new base - unlikely, perhaps, but not as unlikely as the L&S business)
Reported.
Oh, good, not me!
Oh, don’t worry, you’re reported too.
Particularly annoying because Pulaski treated “Moriarty” as a person, apparently just because he looked more like a human than Data did.
Meh, I think that’s a plausible (at least by sitcom standards) coincidence. The weird thing was Lucy bring her son out to CA with her, dropped him off at boarding school, and except 1 Christmas episode never even mention him (or the daughter to stayed back East for college) again. The later episodes don’t hold up nearly as well as seasons 1-3.
IIRC they really started to embrace how silly that was and retroactively made Feeny their kindergarten teacher too. At least he wasn’t Corey’s boss in any of the Girl Meets World episodes I saw.
Was she actually the head of Starfleet Medical though? I always thought she just had an administrative position at HQ. Either way there’s still no excuse for Picard letting her leave Wesley on the Enterprise.
The Mertzes basically retiring to Connecticut is a lot more plausible then them following the Ricardos out to Hollywood for an extended vacation. Fred didn’t become Ricky’s band manager until they went to Europe (& the band didn’t go to LA) so who the Hell was paying for that; Ricky or Fred? :dubious: Or did Ricky get it put in his contract that the studio would pay for the Mertzes just to keep Lucy occupied?
Understood.
The Federal government had an arrangement requiring the Mertzes to act as restraints on Lucy’s behavior; that’s why they were assigned to “own” an apartment building in NYC, but also travel across the world whenever necessary (Fred had been inducted into covert Federal service shortly after WWI, and he recruited Ethel). It’s clear that Ethel “went native” to some extent, getting pulled into Lucy’s schemes, but she still reported all of Lucy’s antics to the Feds.
I hated that when Monk needed to get rid of Sharona, they did it by saying that she remarried he ex-husband. That was unbelievable. They could have picked anything-- how about he mother is ill, and Sharona being a nurse and all felt obligated to go take care of her? Heck, I would have believed that Sharona won the lottery and quit to go find herself before I’d believe she remarried her ex-husband. They had an episode with her ex once where he seemed to be turning over a new leaf, then turned out to be the same old jerk he’d always been.
I realize that Sharona does apparently divorce him again, but I still think it was too out of character to work in the first place.
Yeah, they never did as much with the character of Dr. Crusher as they should have, but Gates McFadden was stunning.
Did you know Ron Howard later cast that actor in a role in his movie Willow?
I believe that by the end of the series, Lt. Disher gets a job as chief of a small-town police force in New Jersey and he and Sharona get married.
Nepotism!
That was believable. They always hated each other in a “She doth protest too much” way. I kept expecting them to get together early in the show.
So yeah, Sharona divorced Whatsis–Trevor? again, or poisoned him. Actually, I might believe that Sharona married him again just to get close enough to him to bump him off.
He’s gotta get a brother of his in there somehow.
