[Prudence]

Martha's sister rocks. I loved the whole "Utah" exchange. I love this show. I think the actresses inhabit their characters more so than on other shows. Maybe that's why I like it. Sure, the situations are preposterous, but they really seem to BE their characters -- so who knows? My mother pooh-poohed the show as being too much sex and violence -- and too unrealistic. Which I think is pretty funny, considering I remember from childhood the one sacred hour that was Dallas, where us kiddos had to am-scray due to the ...wait for it...sex and violence, and plot that we wouldn't get anyway because it was unrealistic. Oh, how I wished for a show that would be my Dallas. My Dynasty. My Knots Landing. And now it's here. And back to original episodes.
