Whatcha Watchin'?

I think it barely made one season. Let’s see…

Eight episodes. I’m surprised I got to see it because I distinctly remember seeing it in reruns and I thought a show had to have more episodes before it went into syndication.

It used to be six seasons. I found that out from watching an interview with Lucie Arnaz (who, incidentally, is really cool).

I think it later became much less. Maybe even one season was enough, but I thought it had to be much fuller than eight episodes.

I assume this will involve a lot of CGI, and/or a giant stunt double à la Lou Ferrigno

No need. Picture Alison turning into a green Helena when angry. Sestra SMASH!

Sestra is seven foot tall, too.

Would not like to be Dr. Doom in this scenario.

Usually Jennifer can just change back and forth at will

though there were a few issues where she was hulking out involuntarily during panic attacks

I was about to recommend Galavant, but I see Netflix has just dropped it. I don’t know if it will show up somewhere else.

A lot of the songs are on YouTube though.

The character Bill Daily portrays is a portent to the present, doncha think?

When I was a pre-teen, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be Mary or Rhoda. Both had cool apartments, good jobs, interesting wardrobes (I remember the “Rhoda”-inspired scarf craze), and seemed to my young mind to be great role models, considering the era in which they appeared.

And they were brunettes, LOL!

I’ve been trying to find this for a while. Currently one hour in. Treat it like a short tv series. Almost six hours in all.

Summary of the first hour:

  • titlecard background on the events leading up to the commune

  • introduction to the sets and some of the cast, then the news crews begin interviewing people on the street

  • the national guard resist the army’s attempt to take the cannon into custody. Instead of firing on the guard the army mutinies. Versailles TV provides wrapup commentary

  • unsatisfied, the revolutionaries begin their own newsgathering

  • the government of NIII begins turning the screws to the Parisians

I want to highlight how much Peter Watkins’ work needs to be amplified.
