“Dandruff” – story has it that they thought the script was so ridiculous, they didn’t want to do it. But when they were forced to, they showed up in ridiculous wardrobes, accents (ladder?), and played it ridiculously on their own terms. So that episode is nothing but a script war.
Ha, I can picture DS and PMG doing that! The ladder is truly inexplicable, and I’d like to think it was PMG’s idea! –Monica
Thank you! Yes, “Remember Him” was beautiful. I’m hesitant to read death-fic, but this one hit the right note of bittersweet. –Monica
I enjoy watching Dandruff. That episode was one Acme anvil short of a Looney Tune.
Whoops! I almost forgot! Hi, Cali!
I just read your comment to Jen, and she says “One Acme anvil short of a Looney Tune,” is an expression she wants to start using. Perfect description of “Dandruff”! –Monica
