Am I the only one excited about the upcoming 'Benson' marathon?
I used to love that show, and the theme song still earworms me sometimes. I hope they air the episode where Governor Gatling errs in some funny way, and Benson has to keep the affairs of state in order while at the same time verbally jousting with his Teutonic foil Ms. Krause. Ooh, and the one where Clayton says something obnoxious.

4. Robert Guillome (sp?) was too good for that show
You might as well have had Sidney Portier on The Fresh Prince.

5. The 'Benson' cast
was a step down in quality from the 'Soap' cast, no doubt. But I still love both shows.

8. Oh, hell yes!
That one was almost as good as the episode of "Three's Company" which had a wacky misunderstanding!

12. No, no...
that's the one when money was tight and James was mad about Florida spending so much on the roast, and JJ had a date with that chick with a sexy nickname...

14. But they all pale in comparison to the episode of...
...Murder She Wrote, where Angela Lansbury solves the mystery of why someone was murdered in Cabot Cove.

*sighs a reminiscent, wistful sigh*

11. I always wanted to see "Benson: The Lost Episodes"
in which Governor Gatling runs for President.

You have guessed the rest: "Tell me, Benson, what should we do about these poll numbers? Should we declare war on Hawai'i?" :dunce: Art imitates life..
