@eyk71 I'm with you there. I absolutely love the show, but I pretty much have to stop the second the credits come on, as while the music is beautiful and possibly the greatest theme to a show ever, as it actually fits in both style, lyrics and emotion, it's really the worst possible thing to listen to when you're watching TV to not be depressed.
1 of my neighbors was recently sent to prison. given that he used to be a policeman, i wonder whether he has special privileges in prison. i doubt he's allowed to wear his police uniform there. imagine if he meets a prisoner that he sent to prison. it could make for some tense conversation. imagine if 1 comes up to him and says, "gee, officer. it's great to see you hear. i've thought about you ever since you arrested me and testified against me. i sure hope you enjoy this place as much as i do."
I used to love how Bee Smith would invite some poor unsuspecting sod to learn how to use the press and then she would bring the thing down on her hands, meanwhile Lizzie would cackle laughing in the background. Champagne television!
@Voxson1 Yes I had never heard that Alabama song before cos they aren't that well known in the UK , I went and listened because of a news report I saw about it and they have indeed ripped off the whole melody
@iamwhoiamwhoiammark2 It seems as time goes on it doesn't matter anymore about the issue of plaigarism and copyright. It's open slather to do whatever they like.
Saw something 2day about a prisoner & the victim's parent making ammends. AMEN, I say. Big task, tall order, but worth the effort to get a life rather than to loose yours thru sorrow, grief, hatred etc. LOVE cures all.
@Cancerian1984 Me too, I just ordered the first 5 volumes of PCBH and I can't wait for them o arrive, I am so glad they are now getting released on DVD over here. xxx
This was shown as an alternative ending with Lynn walking around in a few of the Original 1979 releases!

LOL if Lizzie had her face pressed it would've certainly ironed out all her wrinkles.

I can't believe how she looks exactly like a young Jane Mcdonald, expecially at the beginning.
