Default First Episode I Saw

Yesterday after was rainy and I had had some time to kill in between my indoor activities. I decided to watch the first season episode known as the "Emergency". This is, in fact the first episode that I ever saw as a prime-time episode. I will probably never get my fill of the pay-phone scene! I was twelve years old when it first came out and I was so amused when Nell said "your purse! Your purse!" and Hazel Shermet's character went charging down the corridor! So funny!

It always makes me happy when one of my posts gets a response! Especially on a page as slow as this one has been for some time! What does the last poster (or anyone else) think of this episode in generation and Hazel Shermet's part in it in particular? In my opinion, Hazel is quite a lady!

This is one of my many attempts to stimulate some more conversation about this series by bringing an old thread to the top. Just in case the one and only respondee is reading this post, did you like the episode? Being that you were only ten at the time, there were probably some neuonces that went right over your head. Have you reaquainted yourself with it any time between 1982 and the present. I was twelve when it aired and there were several things in it that I did not get until much later. What did you think of Hazel Shermet's part? Do you remember seeing or in anything that was made before or since this episode? Do you think that she is a talented actress?

Because I have noticed various new people first coming to this site, I have decided to bring various old posts to the top in to let these people see what us old timers were thinking once upon a time! While this post is here, however, I think that it would be interesting to read from other people who remember what was the first episode that they ever saw.

The is the third and last thread that I am bringing to the top of this page for right now. Being that the "Emergency" is my second favorite episode of the entire sereis, I am very happy to see that it has been recently uploaded onto "Youtube"! It is up there in three parts. I would really like to stimulate some more conversation about the show in general and this episode in particular! Take care everyone.

It took a couple of days, but you came around like I figured you would! If you look closesly at the three threads that I brought to the top that night, you will see that they all pertained to an episode that featured Hazel Shermet. However I purposely did not mention her name in any of them! I wanted to see if you or any of the other wise guys out there would figure out that I was indeirctly writing about her! It was a form of experiment. Last night I was contemplating posting a thread telling people how surprised I was that no one was already on to me! However, I decided to give it another day. Sure enough you acted in the predictable manner that you usually do! One of my other three posts also has a response and one of the episodes mentioned in this response is another one that featured good old Hazel! I am surprised that you did not have any fun with that reality either! After I submit this, I plan on responding to that thread but not how it relates to Hazel Shermet. I would not like to mention two last things in before signing off. In the first place, I am still quite curious as to what joy it gives you to purposely misspell Hazel Shermet's name! And last but not least, regardless of whether she wishes you a Happy New Year, I do!

The first episode that I saw was when Samantha thought a kiss from a boy made her pregnant.

17. Sam's Affair (03/18/82)
Samantha mistakenly believes she is pregnant.

It was this episode that I began my major crush on Lara Jill Miller.
Also if I had to pick a 2nd favorite daughter...
I'd pick Julie over Katie (never cared for Katie's 'dumb blond' routine).

Once again, I have decided to bring a couple of old threads to the top of the page to see if I can stimulate some conversation. I will probably be back in about an hour to see if I have had any success so far!

It seems that when this Hawaiian runs of of sarcastic things to say to me, he or she starts to post messages simply for their own sake! I guess that this just goes to show that, somewhere in the world, there are some people with even more problems and more dead time on their hands them me! Oh well!
