[QUOTE="Toni, post: 41556, member: 82"] I think the Culvers were the most underrated "family" of the show, even when they were often brought back after Donna´s departure. They were an odd triangle: Sam-Donna-Dave. In a subtle way, Katzman used them to keep the political aspect in the stories after Cliff´s big defeat. So much better than when Bobby himself became a senator! Donna had a background story that didn´t need too many details, actually. She was born in Marshall (oops, Susan Howard´s hometown!), lost her parents in a car accident, had to work to pay college and, at a certain point (I can´t exactly remember), she met and married Culver, who gave her the best education, she supposedly played mum´s role for a teenager Dave (did we ever get to know if his mother had actually died too, or was Sam divorced?), and then met the Krebbs stud who impressed her so much, apparently, because of his "physical strength" (insert hints here for Sam´s too quiet sex life, or Ray´s above-average "lust"...). I´ve always thought that the Culvers should have been featured in a sort of sequel to "The Early Years" along with Digger, Rebecca and their kids, the Andersons, Patricia and her aspiring "geishas" and the Wades...
