Dennis, 

Thanks for that window into memory lane.  I must admit though, that may be
the only memorable thing about the whole show.  My folks watched it a few
times (I suspect it was "filler" between 2 programmes they wanted to watch
or else they tried it out of curiosity), but when Pop said to my Mom, "do
you smell something burning?" and my Mom said "we'd better go check" (no,
there was no smell of burning, and nobody moved except to switch TV off) it
was the signal that *anything* would be better than watching any more of
Valentine's Day, even a house fire.  So Pop and I did what we often did when
we had spare time like that, and enjoyed a game of ...


...wait for it ... 


GIN rummy.  And THAT'S the "gin" I can offer you, Forrest.


:-P  


(Convenient, I know, but we really did play gin afterwards.  It was our
thing.)  


 
Shalom, 

Christian
