A couple more observations.....I'm on a roll.... The scene when DiPesto says goodbye to David....isn't Bruce really wonderful? The way he holds himself in that chair with his back to the camera....the picture should be in the dictionary next to depressed. I am spacing on this.......was the word "bitch" a usual one on TV in 1985? Not sure if it caused a real stir......well, I guess it did come after "Dynasty"...... OMG...the restaurant scene...that hair, that dress, that date.....this clip should be put in an 80's time capsule! (Besides, the lobster bib was genius!). All location shooting....yummy! Very creepy villains........was Mohawk's acne real or a really good make-up artist? Am i the only one who never picked up the posted notice on Maddie's door? Guess she was getting evicted. Can't believe after 25 years, you still can see something new. Do you really think Maddie had hot dogs in her fridge? Or did the bad guys bring them along to prove their point? Was the bar scene absolutely gorgeous? The photography is excellent...and M&D look like the two most beautiful people in the world. At the eastern building, do you think Cybill's stunt person is a guy or a girl? Some cool quotes: "Poor doesn't become me" About the doctor's bikini underwear......."Tell me you're in a position to know and break my heart forever" "You need me to live, lady" "Duress" "You missed the barn." "ball of fluff/ Sissy fighter" "the plot thinnens" ...(this is my favorite, I use it often) I am glad we did this....what a swell party this is!! You got me laughing again, diane! I too saw the eviction notice for the first time this go-round. And I think Mohawk guy's acne is real--he looks just the same in his iconic (!) role as Craterface in Grease. ;D

Maddie's outfits on the show were just so much classier (IMHO) than the overstyled messes worn by a lot of the ladies on shows like Dynasty and Colby's etc. Yeah, she had some shoulder pads, but Cybill's tall yet athletic build meant she could pull off the look without coming across as a Jane Jetson clone. Great point, gray. Here, she rocks that black and white dress--even with those horrible sleeves and the sidecar of curls--and that lavender peignor set. She looks gorgeous, but strong at the same time, unlike the brittle-looking (IMO) Carrington women. Agreed about the Dynasty women...... Sadly, I have a few of Maddie's/Cybill's wardrobe pieces...(my favorite is her PJs)....but the only items i could actually get on were the season 4 maternity pants!! By the way, i have renamed tonight's drink the GRAY goose martini!!!

I also never noticed before...blonde henchman's see-through blue shirt (you can see it when he takes off his sport coat).
What the heck is up with that? Did he come over to torture Maddie and David on his way to a burlesque show?

Mohawk is just a creeper.... Bruce in the chair...the guy could make you feel his thoughts through the TV without even looking at you....how did he do that??!! And the lighting was really great too. Never thought about the hotdogs before...... Of course M/D are the most beautiful people in the world! No flies on that...... ;D "Tell me you're in the position to know and break my heart forever" Hilarious!! But can we say foreshadow now? "You need me to live lady". No kiddin' Maddie!! "Blonde ball of fluff?" Oh David, you have so much to learn.... Didn't Glenn say he was forced to write the pilot and didn't really want to? Would have never known.

5 pages, and everybody's already gone for the night, it appears. I was hoping to catch jen at least for an "in spirit" toast. Got home from work after 7:30, missed the other time zones. Still rewatching. But technically, this should be a 24-hour celebration, taking March 3rd into consideration. I should be back tomorrow night. Btw, I just happen to be wearing all Blue today, am munching on Blue corn tortilla chips, drinking out of a Blue champagne glass. Cheers!

Well....I always thought that meant someone wasn't talking sh** and therefore was not attracting flies! Like another way of saying "no kidding" or "duh" I could be totally wrong with this!! LOL! ....duh! OMG, bees, I just LOL'd in the library again!! I never thought of that angle...I always thought it meant that you had enough mental sharpness to keep moving--so the flies couldn't land on you! ;D These are funny, ladies; I always thought of it as, ok...you're not dead. Your brain is still functioning (sort of) . wait...gray, were you just playing with us?

From Diane's earlier post:
I am spacing on this.......was the word "bitch" a usual one on TV in 1985? Not sure if it caused a real stir......well, I guess it did come after "Dynasty"......
Still kinda surprises me to this day!
Am i the only one who never picked up the posted notice on Maddie's door? Guess she was getting evicted. Can't believe after 25 years, you still can see something new.
Never saw it until tonight! Golly!
At the eastern building, do you think Cybill's stunt person is a guy or a girl?
If it's a guy, he has some great legs!
Some cool quotes:
"the plot thinnens" ...(this is my favorite, I use it often)
ME TOO!!!
