[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 416989, member: 23"] Oh. I hadn't realised the concept had been part of Carol's show. That seems a good way to try some things and see what sticks. It reminds me a little of how Edina and Saffy from [I]AbFab[/I] were based on a sketch in the [I]French & Saunders [/I]show (except, unlike Mama's Family, the final product was shaken up quite a bit to become a sitcom). Yes, I noticed there were quite a few cast changes after the second season. And there was also a significant gap between Seasons Two and Three. Did the shift affect the tone or quality of the series? I'm only marginally au fait with the syndication business. I understand the magic number is around a hundred, but thought this meant there were enough episodes for a re-run. Does "first run syndication" mean that a series is transmitted in a certain way once that suitable number of episodes has been ordered, and before they've all aired for the first time? [/QUOTE]
