Found this the other day from 1996, bought Ed Robertson’s book on a trip to Toronto and was delighted with my purchase. Spent much of the holiday taping episodes from late night TV including White on White and Nearly Perfect. Still love that book (the new edition).

We get so many different tones in this show, Garner could do it all. Also, in a season 5 episode tonight I was caught up in watching old LA in the background, A Good Clean Bust with Sequel Rights lingers on the city streets. So much to enjoy on repeated viewings.

Welcome to your new obsession… just followed you. Four faves can be anything really, I think it’s whatever you feel like at the time, I’ve gone for some of my most watched. The watchlist is great, a way to set alerts for notification when a film lands on a streamer.

Thanks for that, that’ll be my morning sorted!

That’s what I was thinking, seems a shame to spend time on the DVD.
