Honestly, does Roger honestly think that disguise will fool anyone? And where does Barbara get off with her sanctimonious attitude toward Rita, when her own beloved daughter, Holly did the exact same thing to Ed, faked being pregnant with his kid? At least in Rita's case, she acknowledged to Ed that he might not be the father.

Barbara: I"m just speaking my mind. (Gee, Barbara, that would require your first having one.) LOL

Yes, we have a ton of youtube clips of memorable GL scenes.  I say we keep the Light alive that way!!

I have been listening to some of the old radio episodes that are also posted on youtube. There are some of 1940-42 and 1950.

  • OOOOH!!! Those will be good too! I can't wait till we get started on those. I've heard clips of them on TV, but never have just listened to one like that. Should be cool! fee

    oh, just saw this, check it!   This is one of the old endings with the pictures, and it has Bryan Buffinton and Rachel Miner.   Hard to believe how young Buzz and Frank look, as they still look young to me now.   They look like BABIES on this!   Vanessa was SO photogenic!  Her whole personality would show in her eyes!   Josh looked like a little kid!!!

    OK, I'm probably going to have to watch the last one tomorrow.   I watched Part III instead!  That disguise was AWFUL!!!   And so was that Ed.  I did not like him at ALL!   I loved Peter Simon, as soon as he took over the part Ed became much more human, to me!   I always just loved Rita and Evie together!   Rita's hair was just die for!   Wish I could get mine to do that.  Almost a Scarlett O'Hara look!  It's so funny watching these, because part of your mind can remember seeing this, and maybe just a HINT of what happened here and there, but the rest of it seems new.  I remember watching, but have no clue what happens.  Thanks for putting these up!   It's unrealy how easy it is to get back into these shows, even with the awful film!  I'm going to watch the other one tomorrow!  (OH!!!   I was trying to figure out if that was Lainie on there, and it was.  Can't believe I recognized her!)

  • I thought Mart Hulswit was a very good actor, but you're right, he played Ed as a tad judgmental and self-righteous. Seems a bit odd that a beautiful woman like Rita would have been with such a tight-ass....Yes, Rita's hair was gorgeous. I think Lenore K., who was also pregnant in real life, definitely had that 'pregnant lady glow'..she looked beautiful and happy, a bit inconvenient, I guess, since the character Rita was supposed to be a bit down and out at that point. eom
  • I may be being unrealistic, but I soooo keep hoping that P&G will either restore their AOL classic soaps channel or make these shows available in some other way. It wold be so wonderful to start watching GL starting from 1977 or 78, or whatever year they began saving the tapes, and then work up through the years to the present. You're right, Fee, it's been so many years, even for those of us who watched these shows back when they aired, that it would be like watching them for the first time. eom
