Heehee. "And she just gives him this wonderful look, and he thinks, 'Great. At last.'"

Delayed gratification is a great thing, indeed.

Thank god we don't live in that era, I just want bang bang bang and I get it. I expect her to touch me you know what I mean?

I have not seen M.T. on as consistently in the Bay Area in recent years. It's a shame. In the last few years it went from Sunday night to Monday to Sunday again, but in a time slot shared with "Mystery". I lament not only what appears to be a reduction in # of MT shows aired, but also a subtle change in quality that has come about in the last ten years. IMHO it's still worth watching, but I celebrate the earlier "Masterpiece Theater" programs of its first 25 years.
