I loved Julie Adams on that show. I seem to remember she had a lot of longwinded dialogue on that show (she talked a lot) And she talked very fast, too.

later on in the same episode, she gets a very rare line of genuinely funny dialogue (for MsW, that is):

"Jessica! PLEASE! I'd get down on my knees and BEG, but this is MY LAST PAIR OF PANTY HOSE!"

LMREO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't remember that one!!!

Oh, I remember the episode, but not that dialogue! I haven't seen that one in a long time.

YOU KNOW, Since no one asked and I was looking to be controversial:

Am I the only one who reads AMOS TUPPER as being GAY?

Ann Harding, conservative but not prudish, tries to reform his impulses. They get married thanks to some skullduggery on Harding’s part. But the marriage is strictly a business arrangement. If Powell isn’t happy, Harding will gladly divorce him, and not bother about alimony. What a deal, at least for Powell. Double Harness is a clash between old fashioned values like industriousness and responsibility, versus doing as one pleases. The movie resolves this dichotomy by showing they need not be in conflict at all.
It's also a clash between the butler and the Chinese chef! I haven't seen the film for a while but I remember enjoying it very much.
Yes. I'm surprised one of them didn't quit.

Mayor Sam booth was asexual- Jessica has a line pretty much confirming this in the episode. “town father.”

Doc Hazlet most definitely had a wife. Her name is referenced in a few different episodes, but I can’t remember what it is, (Ruth?) he and his brother had a falling out because they were both in love with her I think.

the season five finale “mirror mirror, part two” pretty much leaves it open to interpretation – but I’ve always read it as “Seth and Jessica are definitely ****ing, they’re just keeping it on the down low.”

Do you ever wonder if sometimes people invited Jessica to be a houseguest for the weekend specifically in the hopes that a family member who had been irritating them even more than usual would be murdered?

Perhaps. There were a small handful of episodes though, like "The Days Dwindle Down", "Trouble in Eden", "Alma Murder", and "Hannigan's Wake" where the murder occurred before Jessica arrived on the scene, but otherwise it does beg the question as to why she kept being invited places when death followed her everywhere.

Dang, just now went looking for CANE RIVER and it is sadly not included in TCM titles on demand. Must’ve been a rights issue or some thing. You gave it such a good write
up. I really wanted to check it out.
