[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 425314, member: 57984"] All these shows need to tap into that [I]grande dame guignol[/I] well on occasion. Over-the-top is not always the wrong choice. Alexis Smith was correctly cast and did a good job -- in 1984. The problem with her 1989 return was that the show had lost its mojo, didn't know how to write it anymore, and so it became a campy, stuck-on redux thing which should never have happened. (Unless they'd gone whole hog and turned it into a STRAIT-JACKET axe-murder played completely straight). [/QUOTE]
