I picked Gina and Charlie as favourites of mine from the beginning too and I'm
thrilled that they are getting paired up!


> How did you like Gina's hair down??   Not her, she's too innocent.


I loved her hair down!!!  I thought that she looked *very* pretty and
it was a nice change.  I always think she's cute but that pinned up style
is a little *too* conservative.

Well, I don't think she should sacrifice her relationship for what could be
a very brief stint, but I certainly think that she could put off the wedding
for about a year while she tries to break into show business.  Of course she
shouldn't be in this situation at all, but hey, this was the 40s!!

"Cute" wasn't the word I would have used!  ;-)

I love the way the show uses little things like this to keep you laughing.

I have to say that I love Ruth!  I mean I hate her, but I just love to hate
her.  And I think she is probably the funniest person on the show.  I was
roaring when she jumped out of the car during the final strike scene and
whacked someone over the head with a picket sign!  And she is great for the
Davis' to play off of too.  I think she makes the perfect villian for this
kind of show.

I agree with you on everything here.  I really like the way the Davis' are 
used in the show.  I don't get that "token black" feeling like I do in some 
shows.  That is to say they have a point and a place in the show, and there
is good stuff written for them.  With some shows it feels like minority
characters are only there to fulfill some sort of quota.

I think Homefront has incredible potential to run for many years.  I just hope
that word spreads and this show can garner a decent audience.  The best thing
ABC could do would be to give it a better timeslot.  The competition is mighty
fierce on Thursdays at 9pm.  But Cheers will be out of the picture next years,
so who knows....

later,

Tim
