Hi gorky and welcome! Glad to have you join in on the "essedness" that is going on here! As you can see, we have a great time re-hashing and it would be interesting to hear from a newbie who has just discovered ML for the first time. (am I correct in understanding that you did not watch the show in the 80's?) It will be great to hear about your first impressions or reactions! See you on the 6th!

Hi, beesnbears! Thanks for the reply. Nope, I didn't watch ML in the '80s--I just recently decided that this show might be right up my alley (it has a perfect blend of fast-talking and combustible chemistry between the leads, which is exactly what I expect of my TV shows ). I've seen most of the episodes at least once (I've got maybe 10 episodes left in season five to watch), having bought the DVDs about a month ago. But it's true that my take on the show would probably be different, because of my newbie status; I think it'll make for an interesting discussion. The sixth, eh? I'm in. And a Happy New Year to everyone! Looking forward to all the 'essedness' come 2009.

Hi gorky, and Welcome to the Reign Of Essedness!! ;D So nice having you here! I discovered David & Maddie only last year, and my dear ML friends kindly welcomed me to the boards just one and a half months ago, but judging by the number of my posts...Well, I guess I feel at home here!! ;D I bet you'll love it here, too!! ;D So keep your nose to the grindstone and show us your blossoming essedness!! ;D If you can join the "Rewatching Together" threads? Of course you can!! Many hands make light work. The more, the merrier. Three's company. 20's a group grope! We'll be discussing an episode from Season 4 on the 6th. Any suggestions? Well, see you around!! P.S. If we don't have the chance to talk these days, Happy New Year to you too!!

Hey there, italianbluemooner! Thanks for the kind response. I'm really looking forward to this rewatching thing; this seems like a nice bunch of people, 'essed' though you may be. Think I'll fit right in. As for suggestions, I notice you guys already did "Tracks of My Tears". All those Maddie's-back-from-Chicago episodes are definitely the easiest S4 episodes to watch; my personal favorites would have to be "Maddie Hayes Got Married" and "And the Flesh Was Made Word". Those might be fun to rewatch. Another suggestion: "Tale in Two Cities". I think it'd be fun to get into David's head, try to sort through all that pain and anger and frustration he's definitely feeling in that episode. Or "Come Back, Little Shiksa", which would give us the same soul-searchin' opportunity with Maddie. Wow, four disparate suggestions--some help I am, huh.

You're right on the money, gorky! People here are fantastic!! If you're in the mood for a thought-provoking discussion, or just wanna have fun with someone who shares the same unconditional loyalty to David and Maddie, you're in the right place!! ;D About your suggestions: I'd like to discuss "Maddie Hayes Got Married" too, because I think it'd be the best way to start the New Year! "And The Flesh Was Made Word" would be a great choice, too!! Great dialogues and funny scenes!! I like the bridge scene, in particular... "Tale In Two Cities" and "Come Back Little Shiksa"... Gutty choices! Oh, every time I watch them (and most of Season 4) I'd just like to nestle David in my arms and comfort him... Anyway, let's await the others to pick an episode, then we'll decide together! ;D

Hee, "Tale in Two Cities" and "Come Back, Little Shiksa" are kind of depressing, aren't they? Just putting them out there as a suggestion is all. And I agree with you about "Maddie Hayes Got Married"--that's probably one of the nicer ways to kick of '09, if we're talking season four episodes (Maddie's speech at the end is so great; Cybill nailed it).

Oh, feel free to bring in any suggestions! ;D Everything is welcomed when we're talking about ML!! Glad we think alike!! And yes, Maddie's speech at the end of MHGM is astounding! Plus, Cybill's performance is brilliant!! ;D Well, gotta go. My fridge is empty...Guess it's time to do groceries! I need my chocolate milk to toast to the New Year!! ;D Bye gorky! See you (later, if you stick around!) !!

Thanks, jpen! I'm so glad to have found these boards. And I think I'll officially cast my ballot (metaphorically speaking ) for MHGM, since it's one of the best S4 episodes, IMO.

Hey kiddies! This seems to be the first post of 2009!! WOW!! So, how did it go last night? Did you have fun? Did you get any sleep? ;D I didn't!! ;D Surprise surprise... I ate waaay too many lentils...It's tradition here in Italy, you know... They're said to bring good luck: if you eat many lentils at New Year's Day you'll be likely to gain money to the Nth degree over the year! Bah, I don't believe in such things... However, I do like lentils!! ;D Anyway, a few minutes ago I was having my fourth course of that delicious pod , when it hit me! Did leave a bruise, indeed... I got an idea: what if we started a new thread, an "audio" thread, about all of the songs featured in the episodes? I thought it'd be possible to add YouTube links to each song... Whaddaya say? Would it be interesting, or is it just a result of indigestion? ;D P.S. Post n.200.... YEEHAW!!!! What a wonderful way to kick off the New Year!! ;D
