I didn't roll in the aisles as they say but chuckled at several scenes like Constance waiting for the lift to get even with the elevator operator.

It happens to me also with the rereading of books. And the meeting of people from the past. Sometimes it is better to leave the past alone. Memories may be flawed but they are then safe. BTW, I fondly remember the TV show. I think I should not see it again.R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-11909745484726342792014-02-25T09:25:41.767-05:002014-02-25T09:25:41.767-05:00And another annoyance was the canned music playing...And another annoyance was the canned music playing in the background.
