Thanks to John Lavalie (fud...@netcom.com) for numerous episode
titles, air dates and bits of trivia.
Synopses are taken from TV Guide, and are used without permission.
The synopses for seasons 1 and 2 may be incorrectly placed, as I don't
yet have copies on tape.
Guest stars are listed in order of appearance, and the actors' names
are taken from the closing credits. Where their role is unknown, I
have taken my best guess, and preceded the character's name with a ?.
Please email me if you can help place actors to characters.
I have only added full guest lists for some season 1 and 2 episodes,
and episodes 3.1-6.10 so far. More will be added when I get copies on
tape. Some guests may move into/out of recurring status, I will
decide this after I have finished adding full guest lists to each
episode.
In syndication, all occurences of ``Barr'' have been replaced by
``Arnold''.
Bonnie Sheridan was half of the late 1960s-early 1970s pop-soul duo
Delaney and Bonnie.
The latest copy of this guide in both plain ascii and postscript is
