[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 402243, member: 23"] Yes. While I don't consider myself a younger generation, MTM did begin some years before I was born and here I am watching it for the first time almost five and a half decades after its original airing. I've had to check myself over finding certain things familiar or predictable by recognising that every time I've seen these familiar situations has been in later projects (some of which perhaps involved creative personnel from MTM such as James L. Brooks). I'm sure you're right. While watching last night, I was thinking that it would have to have gone in a different direction simply because her screen presence (here, at least) is so different from Linda's. I think it would have worked, and don't think it would have necessarily have been better or worse, but like you I'm fine with what we got in the end. :devil: [/QUOTE]
