Some discussion about polls, thought about doing it when I originally posted. Let's try it out smile.gif

Wouldn't it be fun to have an area where we can post comments and respond to a poll for each episode - mentioned something like it in a post elsewhere. Maybe a discussion area with a topic for each episode that includes in the first message:
- the title,
- the episode number,
- the dates of broadcast, and
- the featured voices
- a poll

would be a heck of a lot of work, but I think I may be able to churn out the posts for the episodes relatively quickly with my existing database of episodes.

just a thought...
cheers, everyone :D

hey, should I keep this same direction or go back instead?
I keep hearin' footsteps baby, in the dark...why?..."

I'd reviewed this in my listening log earlier as one of the "Texas episodes"...interesting concept about the "big, powerful, heartless Hollywood agent" type who hears someone constantly walking behind him, in his footsteps, and becomes quite afraid to turn around and see who is following him.

Is it someone pursuing him, and if so, who?

The resulution was somewhat abrupt, IMO, but this was a good one to listen to. I liked Carol Teitel's portrayal of the long-suffering wife on the brink of divorce with but still sympathetic to her husband. Jerry Orbach was on the verge of caricature as the agent, but pulled off a decent enough performance.

I thought the end was a little anti-climatic.

Jerry Orbach was ok in his role as the agent. Carol Titel was strong.

I'm not much of a fan of alot of the psychodrama. Amatuer psychoanalysis was a real fad in teh 1970s, and like Watergate, Patricia Hearst, and mood rings, it should be left there.

Ian Martin is notorious for his psychobabble. He wrote some real strong material, but when he turned into the amateur psychologist, I just groan.
