The best soap, though, was THE EDGE OF NIGHT, which was written for many, many years by mystery author Henry Slesar.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-23412286757108001202010-06-05T15:54:15.156-05:002010-06-05T15:54:15.156-05:00My mom watched DAYS when I was growing up (which c...My mom watched DAYS when I was growing up (which coincided with the Doug and Julie years), so of course I did, too.

I cheered.<br /><br />(When I told her that Bill Hayes had sung "Davy Crockett", she said that he hadn't sung in tune ever since.)<br /><br />The main thing I remember about DOOL is that the Frances Reid character was always offering homemade doughnuts to solve every manner of problem. Times were simpler then. And doughnuts healthier, I guess.Jerry Housenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-70178356684709937942010-06-05T10:41:51.845-05:002010-06-05T10:41:51.845-05:00I'll tell Judy about Doug and Julie.

Doug had been around for a while before she started watching the show, and we didn't know until after she'd watched for a while that he was the one who'd had a hit with the Crockett song.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-32422870130239832302010-06-05T10:35:12.755-05:002010-06-05T10:35:12.755-05:00Jackie still watches it occasionally (she really l...Jackie still watches it occasionally (she really liked ANOTHER WORLD better but when that was cancelled...) and said to tell Judy that Doug & Julie do pop up from time to time.<br /><br />I also remember ""The Ballad of Davy Crockett" as one of the first records I ever owned.

This was waaay before the Luke, Laura, and Demi Moore period. John Beredino was the good doctor and Roy Thinnes was the bad-boy doctor. As far as I can tell, the modern crop of prime-time medical soaps follow pretty much the same template, only with more sex, blood, and kinkiness.Fred Blosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307848103704970189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-20074561851329425532010-06-05T09:58:13.999-05:002010-06-05T09:58:13.999-05:00Judy's going to be jealous.Judy's going to be jealous.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-11819063909692256192010-06-05T09:52:40.477-05:002010-06-05T09:52:40.477-05:00And now for today's edition of "Brush Wit...And now for today's edition of "Brush With Greatness":<br /><br />As a one-time resident of Morgantown, WV, I saw Bill Hayes (Doug) and wife Susan Seaforth (Julie) at a downtown theater that was showing <b>Scent of a Woman</b> (Hoo-hah!), so this would probably have been around 1992. I didn't approach them, however, because I wasn't particularly a DOOL (as my friend Tammy would call it) fan...and the only thing I remembered Hayes for was that he had the big hit version of <i>The Ballad of Davy Crockett</i>.Ivan G Shreve Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067177808320053382noreply@blogger.com
