People often joke, I hope, how much they loved/love such tripe as THREE'S COMPANY or WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!, but they haven't actually inspired the kind of fannish/fanzine-publishing/website-maintaing/listserv-chatting/episode-swapping following that these shows have (MH,MH maybe just a bit less than FOREVER KNIGHT, but I'll buy it for now). No company man, I, but that's perhaps the least embarrassing of this sort of list I've seen for a while here on the CriderPop blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-45360147727499431682007-07-01T22:18:00.000-05:002007-07-01T22:18:00.000-05:00They didn't have a solid explanation.
