Like, I really really wonder what the 1976 reaction was to Mom's How To Deal With A Cheating Husband Advice.)<BR/><BR/>I'm on hold for the next discs in the set. So far, it looks like no extras.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-41711800627786790632007-03-08T12:25:00.000-05:002007-03-08T12:25:00.000-05:00I had completely forgotten that Meredith Baxter Bi...I had completely forgotten that Meredith Baxter Birney wasn't the original Nancy! I loved this show. Where are you seeing episodes? Are the on TV somewhere, or was the series released for home sale? As I recall, over the years the characters did refer to things that had happened in other episodes, so I think that they became a little less stand-alone as the years progressed. I wish Sada Thompson had done more television. She's a heck of an actress. I think she's been concentrating on theatre since this show went off the air.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312691761341400873noreply@blogger.com
