This happened on Loving, but I thought all might be interested:

A couple of episodes ago, the character who plays Alyson's sorority 
"big sister" pointed out her "S.O". "S.O.?" Alyson asked.  "Yes," the 
big sister replied, "As in Significant Other."

Has this phrase been incorporated into everyday dialogue now? Or is 
this direct proof of more writer lurking????

Why does everyone go to Jack for legal representation of every kind?
My understanding is that a law firm may have attorneys who specialize
in several different kinds of law, so if you go to them you could be
pretty sure that you'd find an attorney with the specialized experience
for your particular needs. Don't attorneys usually specialize in some
particular area of law(business/corporate, family, criminal, etc.).
Jackson seems to be doing it all(representing rape victims, murder
suspects, divorce actions, corporate investments).  Is this really
realistic or is turbo lawyer the JOAT(jack of all trades) for the legal
profession :-)?

Me too!  I didn't realize until half an hour after it ended that it had
truly been an all-male show.  I hadn't heard any of the spoilers.  I
just thought it was interesting because of those extended, free-form,
somewhat ad-libbed scenes.

Yes, these were great.  I'm almost ready to forgive the writers for the
Mimbo fiasco now.

You've read my mind yet again.  I'll always remember the scenes of Maureen
and Vanessa getting drunk and talking about Fletcher... can you imagine
a whole show like that?  (Well not necessarily everyone gettind DRUNK,
but, well, on the other hand maybe that would be pretty interesting...)
Maybe there will be some bizarre & funky bridal showers coming up.

The last one I remember is Eve Stapleton, who was Rita Stapleton's sister.
Rita married Ed, Eve married Ben McFarren (what a cutie-pie HE was!), who
then divorced her and married Amanda (Wexler) Spaulding.  Later, he and
Amanda split, and he got back together with Eve and they went to Chicago
(black hole of the CBS soaps).

Was there a more recent one?  This doesn't seem so soon to me; hasn't it
been at least seven or eight years since?

It couldn't have been her because the Mrs. Columbo series ran in the late
70s or so.  There was a lot of talk on rec.arts.tv about the fact ABC bought
the series in order to pad out the Columbo shows running now.  Unless the 
girl took some anti-aging potion or something, she's not the same one.

I was surprised when I saw Jack walk into his house on Monday's show.  The
door he walked into looked a little cheap.  Cheap door handle, etc.  Was this
the servant's quarters.  I guess I expected big fancy everything.  After
all he doessss drive a Benz.  I thought the house would be along the

Nice to see all the Santa Barbara talk!  I had an idea for a couple, as most
people don't like CC and Santana, how about this one, David and Santana, I 
think they'd make a good couple. They both seem to have a sense of humour
about things lately, maybe they'd be good together. I wish that they would 
get around to finishing off some of the stories that they have started. CC and
Santana are not as bad as they used to be, guess I'm getting used to them, but
they won't be together long. One thing I do NOT like though is the way his kids
are treating Santana, first of all, it's not really any of their business who
CC loves (Yah, like that matters in this family) but the way they were written
in the past, they would not have objected to Santana. It seems like they are
trying to make them prejudice against Santana. These kids loved Rosa, and 
always seemed to be on Santana's side in the past. Then there's Mason and 
Julia's haunted house! This story is starting to get interesting! I don't think
that the man in the picture is actually Mason, or Sonny Sprocket, he's too 
young. The picture is supposed to be of the daughter and and granddaughter of
the woman in the top picture. If she died recently at the age of eighty or so
then her daughter would be around CC's age, maybe a little older. This could
make the man in the picture either CC, or someone related to him. Any ideas?

	There has been a lot of talk on this network that Lorna is really
Lucas and Felicia's daughter.  Question: does Lorna know who her real parents
are?  If not, was she adopted or what?

	A thought--wouldn't it be interesting if instead of Lorna being Lucas 
and Felicia's daughter, she was Cass and Felicia's daughter.  I know that
they were once lovers, is it possible for Lorna to be the (ahem) product of
their love?

	A sidenote--I'm getting really interested in the storylines occurring
with Dennis and Marley and Jamie.  I think that Jamie and Kelsey should get
together (as do several others on the network).  I wonder when It is going to
click with Dennis that Olivia is giving up a baby for adoption, Marley is
adopting, and her strange reactions when she found out he is the father of
Olivia's baby?????????  should be interesting...

Okay -- there's one thing I need to say here.  Always remember, and
