I know NDP is supposed to be a serious take on the new suburbia, but this thing is a hoot.
These four couples have enough dysfunction to keep Dear Abby busy for a decade (or more).
I especially get a kick out of Tony Randall as the car salesman. Would you buy.....hell
no. I watched it a few years ago on YT. I did a quick check and it's still on in a high quality
print in marvelous widescreen. Don't forget to bring some brewskis and a sword.

I see nothing in the HR obit about All My Children. Did they confuse it with Flamingo Road? Also, she appeared in an episode of MURDER, SHE WROTE! looking beautiful as a fashion designer (and murder suspect) in Paris. I'd forgotten she had been married to Jeffrey Hunter.
Admittedly, Peyton Place and All my Children were both on ABC, so they are probably biased....

LOL! Right. Would you buy a used car from this man????? I checked Amazon and it looks like Fox finally put it out on DVD, but it's on the pricey side. Thanks for the Youtube info.

The YT video is of really good quality. Despite all the unintentional humor and
many of the over the top situations, it does have a certain realistic ring to it.

O.J. Simpson, football player, actor, age 76. Reported cause of death: cancer.

I'm going to say I liked the Naked Gun movies, and leave the subject at that.

The less said the better. Death is the final equalizer. If there is an afterlife, he'll find his justice.

For anyone interested in this subject I would very highly recommend Vincent Bugliosi's book Outrage. I thought any prospective criminal trial lawyer should read it.

I hadn't realized The Bug wrote about the trial. I've read several of his books, but not that one. I'd like to read it, but not right now. Don't want to relive all that again.
