- A note about the casting of the current PBS TV series...
-
- Between the first series and second, both Madalyn Basset and Gussie
- Fink-Nottle were recast. My mother didn't approve of the change,
- saying that the "new" Miss Basset comes off like the "dumb blonde"
- in old movies, though the new Gussie is more "sensible" than the
- old one.
-
- Incidentally, in the episode where Bertie and Gussie had to imper-
- sonate each other (that's no more of a spoiler than in the TV guide),
- I about cracked up when I heard the name that Catsmeat Potter-Perbright
- was using when he was pretending to be a valet--"Meadows". Check
- out my own name and you'll see why. :-)
