Thank you for the link, Poirot. Yes, a very nice article. I thought it was a great one until I got to Ken Corday's quotes. He ran the show into the ground for far too long with poor decision making and........shoot, I better stop before my blood pressure goes up.

LOL, yep, felt the same, so did not mention him. Fortunately he only blows a bit of hot air, and smarter folks have better things to say. He loves patting himself on the back, tho.

The rest of that article makes up for Corday's comments.

I like that someone from NBC was quoted. Interesting to see Steve Kent being quoted as well.

I love seeing the show get all this mainstream media coverage!

After all, his characters, Tony and Andre, had been killed off six times, collectively.

This made me literally LOL.
I'm starting to wonder if the actors get paid for every Albert Alarr/Josh Griffiths/Dena Higley praise, though I imagine it's a genuine feeling.

I really like that the show seems to be conscious that the storytelling pace can be quicker. It's not 1971 - watch once and forget it. We have archived clips, YouTube, apps, DVRs...very easy to watch a week at once, and go back and watch old episodes.
