Talk:Desmond's

message: "Following the death of Norman Beaton in 1994"...Surely the death of the lead star in the show had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the spinoff series, Porkpie?  Taken from his own wiki entry, here is proof that Desmond's was over and the wording IMO should be "Following the end of Desmond's..." or something similar.  Anyway, the proof:
"After years of hard living began taking its toll on his health, he retired to Guyana in 1994 (just as his character in 'Desmond's' was doing the same), where he collapsed at the airport and died a few hours later at the age of 60."
That clearly says to me he's retired, hence Desmond's is over...it didn't end because he died, it ended because he retired.  The fact that he died is evident but not an integral part of this fact...it had no bearing on the show's future had he lived or died. 78.86.230.62 (talk) 23:23, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect wording? 

message: I removed the following section from the article due to inaccuracy:
There was an episode of the Cosby Show where the cast of Desmonds were included as acquaintances of the Huckstables.  The result was a game of cricket played in the living room of the Huckstable house, much to the dismay of Clair Huckstable.
Cricket Episode
The link provided mentions two West Indians called "Carleton" and "Dr. Harmon", neither of whom were characters in Desmond's, appearing in the episode. According to IMDB  Norman Beaton was Carleton in the episode and Sullivan Walker was Harmon. Given that Beaton starred in Desmond's as the eponymous Mr. Ambrose and the USA-based Sullivan Walker never appeared in Desmond's this is clearly not a case of the cast of the show appearing as the same characters in a different show but rather one actor appearing as a totally different character in a different show. This information would be relevant in Beaton's own article (and Sullivan's I suppose) but it has no bearing on Desmond's whatsoever and so has been removed. Just thought I would add that here in case anybody thought I was vandalising. Keresaspa (talk) 19:45, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cosby Show 

message: Surely there should be some sort of reference to the Cosby Show, i remember cast members appearing on the likes of Wogan and other chat show's saying Desmond's was inspired by the Cosby Show. --The Mercenary 73 (talk) 12:59, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
