I like "Tara King Syndrome" - I thought she grew on you as the season progresed, and I would have like to see her do another season.Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-76117606214237648192023-03-11T10:11:57.923-05:002023-03-11T10:11:57.923-05:00I don't agree with your assessment of Elizabet...I don't agree with your assessment of Elizabeth Baur. She was a different person than Barbara Anderson. It is hard for someone to come into a show where the first actor won an Emmy. Eve Whitfield was a socialite turned police woman. Fran was the daughter of a murdered cop. I saw Fran as the daughter next door. Her wardrobe was not financed by the wealth of her family, but just someone who was a working lady.Sue Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01884072667977354828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-83616098435780473822022-10-23T10:31:40.290-04:002022-10-23T10:31:40.290-04:00I don't concur with your dismissal of Elizabet...I don't concur with your dismissal of Elizabeth Baur.<br />Seems to me that we're looking at Tara King Syndrome: the replacement can never be as good as the original.<br />For the record, Elizabeth Baur is a legacy: her father was a casting director at 20th-Fox, who signed off on her presence on <i>Lancer</i>, among other things.<br />Early <i>Perry Mason</i> episodes were filmed at Fox, so it stands to reason that Raymond Burr probably knew Jack Baur from that period - and that likely trumps your "doubts".Mike Doranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427528138598549103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-42686526820707988482022-10-13T09:55:23.385-04:002022-10-13T09:55:23.385-04:00That sounds good!
