In the past, I have written about how most uploads on You Tube are accompanied by a still life of a scene from the video. In the case of "Gimme a Break!" each uploaded episode has a still life of a scene from that episode. I imagine this is to give the viewer some idea of what he or she will be seeing after they punch in the video. One episode that has been uploaded a bunch of times is the "Emergency". Each upload is different in terms of what scene from that episode there is a picture of next to the title. It was about eight months ago that somebody uploaded that episode with a still life of Nell approaching the busy body on the pay phone in the hospital. Because that is my favorite part of the episode, I was very intrigued! I have read other posts that have referred to Nell's "your purse, your purse" as a classic line. It has stuck with me since I was twelve years old! Well, one week ago, somebody put up a new upload of Nell standing in back of the woman on the phone. And then two days ago, there was another upload with a still life of the pay phone scene! I guess that there are other people out there besides me who are especially fond of this part of the episode!

I had to upload a video for a digital media class. YouTube generates a few images from your video and let's you pick which one you want to use as the preview image. So, you could be right.

That is very interesting. By the way, if you have seen the episode that I wrote about, I would be very interested in what you think of the pay phone scene in general and the "your purse, your purse" line in particular.
