[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 191252, member: 57"] Indeed, yes. I've seen them relatively recently via the original 4-disc boxed set but it will be a pleasure to rewatch with the memory of the series now fresh. It's seems weird to be going back to the Lost Episodes set for them, with Loretta Swit and Meg Foster on the cover. Avoiding the more obvious [I]The Return of Cagney & Lacey[/I]. James Naughton will always be astronaut Pete Burke from the [I]Planet of the Apes[/I] TV series to me. I like him but I didn't find them especially compatible. Marriage seems an unnatural state for Chris and it already seems shaky. There is certainly none of the joy she exhibits when reunited with Lacey in the driving scenes. No mention of what happened to Nick either. And Corassa, too. it's almost lost in the throwaway party talk but it seems that Verna Dee is now in charge of the squad. Didn't see that one coming. I watched Barney's accompanying interview as well. His comments about the collaboration between Barbaras Avedon and Corday reminds me of what I've read about how Mel Brooks and Buck Henry worked together on [I]Get Smart[/I] - not that Brooks had mental health issues but it seems that his inspiration was often scattershot and it was up to Henry to make something coherent out of it.
