Just about every suggestion you make in your column was followed on that show, right down the list. I still miss it, and will watch it on cable re-runs whenever it comes around. Hi Whitney, I am off to a preview screening of 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' this evening. The latest mass-selling book to film adaption. It stars the delectable Penelope Cruz, who I have been reading a lot about recently.
Continuity is the key.
You hit the nail on the head. The best series have continuing stories that keep growing and coming full circle episodes, or even seasons, later. Twin Peaks did that, and today Boston Public is one of the only ones doing it again. I'll always be an Eastern Time woman. Nothing packs that original of a punch today.
