[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 108238, member: 719"] I don't know which ones you refer to who use that quote as their proof of the show's quality. In the current thread, I brought up her quote and Montalban's as two actors/actresses who did not like the show as a different perspective from John James, who was quoted as liking it. And he was the focus on the new show, so of course he did. I never read her quote to mean vulgar in some prudish sense, only vulgar as in crude in terms of quality (especially of character and plots). And I would say that being on THE THORN BIRDS was very much proof that even at an old age she had standards--after all her performance there put her on the radar for this role. It was a sitcom with a new formula: a black family that acts exactly like an upper middle class white family. The quick appeal and twist on the genre should have been warnings for other networks to not put something unproven against it. [/QUOTE]
