[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 416644, member: 23"] I suppose both capture their eras in a way. It's been mentioned that the broader kind of sitcom was becoming de rigueur, so at leat [I]MTM[/I] can be credited with moving with the times. I agree that it's lost a special something compared with the melancholy and autumnal/wintry early seasons. It's all been perfectly watchable for me so far. Granted, some more than others, but I haven't wanted to skip any (not on this first time round, anway). This I'm very much looking forward to. I know Rhoda and Phyllis will be along for the finale, and I've seen Gordy mentioned in an episode as well, so that will be very welcome. With the times and also the genre, I know these things can be a little "fluid". If anything I only notice them drop the ball because there have also been a couple of satisfying references to earlier episodes . Now you mention it, that's very true. At least I had no trouble believing that she could make Sue Ann insecure, though. Not so obscure. [I]The Munsters [/I]was repeated here a fair bit back in the Eighties. I watched on many a wet Saturday afternoon, so I'm familiar. While I didn't place Pat immediately, as soon as I saw her credit at the end I realised how I knew her. [/QUOTE]
