I loved last night's episode.
It was the funniest since they've been back I think!
Although I almost had to ff through where Marshall was attempting to scream at the waiter. But then it got turned around. Of course!
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

I changed to the baseball game for part of that, but I caught the twist, which was hilarious and just what everyone is customer service probably longs to do.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. I just watched the second episode of Friends and they had a different actress as Carol (Ross' ex-wife). Anita Barone. Then she was recast with Jane Sibbett.

Nothing's every going to top the weirdness of The New Darrin on Bewitched, especially since Dick Sargent did sort of kind of look like Dick York. Plus they were both Dick.
Not that I saw it in real time, but it was in syndication when I was growing up and definitely flipped my worldview. On the Partridge Family they were more blatant and recast a brunette boy with a blonde one after the first season.
Cool points though to Bunuel who did it on purpose, casting two different actresses in his version of Wuthering Heights and alternating them without warning.

I did not know that. After the Pythons' treatment I had no desire to actually see W. H. for real but now I kinda do.
My favorite actor swap was on Roseanne. I loved how they would subtly refer to it from time to time.

hunh. Bunuel's version of Wuthering Heights (I've already forgotten the title in my trip from there to here) seems to be one of the few titles of his Netflix doesn't carry. I added The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie instead.

Which he later also did for THE OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE, although I think in that case there were meta reasons (i.e. one of the actresses buggered off) that Bunuel ran with.
