Yes that was a very very good movie and it was sad and she did look gorgeous. I don't think her sis was that pretty. I thought that part in the robe was so sad.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jay Harrington is all mine! I don't care what you guys say, cuz he's mine! Not yours! AHAHAHAHAAAA!

Teddy: Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Jinny: Look, you know who I am, OK? You know who my family is. Why the hell do you even wanna be with me at all?
Teddy: Because, I love you.

Jinny: What was she expecting? The welcome wagon?

Jinny: Basically, people are who people are. Your born, you die pretty much the same person. All the rest is just window dressing.

I agree that was a very good movie. I thought that at the end,the guy(I can't believe I already forgot his name )was going to shoot Joanie.

Hey,,I posted on TD Board that I totally agree that this is NM's best movie..

Has anyone else noticed that many of the characters portrayed by Nancy have names beginning with the letter,,,'J': Jo, Joanie, Jinny.

Does NE1 know where I can buy "In My Sis' Shadow"? I've tried searching for places on the Web, but all that I found were ones that worked on foreign VCR's. (I couldn't tape it cause my T.V. doesn't have a second hook-up for a VCR, it only has one, and we have the satellite reciver hooked up to it. I know, I know, more than you needed to know...) But NEway, can anybody help me, please? That was my fav Nancy movie so far!

------------------
Jo: Partners? You mean 50-50? Uh, 50-50-50-50-50?
Blair: Good, Jo, we'll let you do the books!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

And from your two resident off-topic queens, Danielle and I, who are still looking for that 12 step program by the way:

I agree, this is one of Nancy's better movies. She portrayed Joanie beautifully. I think Michael helped Joanie out more than Joanie helped Michael out.
Also, as Michele said on the TD board, I think Joanie just THOUGHT she was ugly, but she really wasn't.
Michele, I also noticed the 'J' thing. When they called Joanie 'Joan' in this movie I kept thinking they were saying Jo. Sorta weird...
Nancy was great-as usual.

Yeah, I noticed the "J" thing too. I haven't watched the entire movie yet (I recorded it), but it's good so far. I love Nancy's red hair! And she looks great when she wears it up.

My tape cut off right before the end. Can anyone tell me what happened right after the police were leading Joannie out of the house (after Michael shot himself)? Thanks!

Joanie fights the police, getting them off her, she's crying really hard, then she, her mother, her sister and her husband walk off into the sunset with their arms around each other. That's all I remember anyway. Hope that helped.

Yeah, I noticed the "J" thing also, and the fact that Alex Rocco played her father in 3 different shows. I have to agree with everyone. This was an awesome movie. I love it soo much.
