[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 399739, member: 23"] Interesting. I'd say this applies to the apartment set as well, which feels much more restrained and elegant than your average TV set of this era. This looks like it will really hit the spot for me. I'll probably save this for a "bonus feature" to watch when I wrap up the series. Oh great. Of course, this would have been published just as Valerie was getting fired from her own TV series, with the titular character killed off between seasons. Yet another low point to add to the litany already mentioned in her write-up. As I've watched the first eight or nine episodes I've found myself wondering about Cloris's background. Episodes in which she appears always bill her as the Special Guest Star in the end titles, even usurping Nancy Walker into penultimate position (Nancy, I imagine, was quite a well-known face). Knowing next to nothing about Cloris I'd guessed she must have been a "name" even at this time. Either that or she had a very good agent. As previously mentioned, I knew Cloris only from her turn in [I]The New, Original Wonder Woman[/I] where these affectations were present in spades. I had considered that this might have been a one-off and different from her usual style, but it appears scenery chewing is kind of her thing. I'm looking forward to meeting Sue Ann in due course.
