[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 408704, member: 23"] Very true. And you've pinpointed the reason for this perfectly. Same here. Her appearance in the opening episode suggested she was practically a regular. I've wondered if she was originally intended to appear much more than she did but it was pared down because of Lisa Gerritsen's young age. I'm guessing she'll have more to do on [I]Phyllis[/I]. I've already had a a Bess-related spoiler about the series ending because the character summaries for [I]Phyllis[/I] on the Wikipedia page are very in-depth. Incidentally, there's a parallel between Bess appearing in the first [I]MTM[/I] episode and Joe's son Donnie featuring in [I]Rhoda's[/I] pilot. Donnie has a good reason for appearing so infrequently since he lives with his mother. With[I] Lou Grant[/I] beginning after [I]MTM[/I] had ended, I'd thought this might be the case. I might well end up coming back to it after a gap. Incidentally, I've just read that CBS aired Rhoda's first season episodes at 9:30pm, after [I]Maude[/I]. While it has a good lead-in, it still seems very late for a series that seems so family-friendly. At that time of night I'd expect something with a little more edge. It was rectified from Season Two with an 8pm slot which seems more appropriate. [/QUOTE]
