Right on, Charles. Scott's response is one of my two favorite lines in the whole series. I saw it not so much as Scott proclaiming to be equal, as Scott professing his deep love for his dad in a slightly humorous way, which in Starman''s case also carried a lot of truth. Each needed the other, and each life was enhanced because of the other.My second favorite line is in "Fathers and Sons" Episode 19, where Paul asks Scott, "How am I doing - as a father?" Only a Starman could ask such an extraordinary question of his son.Both illustrate a father-son relationship never duplicated again on TV.Chuck SDear Tracy,Episode #9 (Society's Pet) had a line that struck me in the heart. It was the scene in which Starman and Scott were walking down the path past the mansion and Starman was explaining that, under the proposal made by Antonia Weyburn, Scott would stay but Starman would have to leave. Scot told his father. "If you go, I go too. Besides, how long would you last without me to take care of you?" Instead of becoming angry as my father would have, Starman replied, humorously, "Is that what you do?" I told Christopher Barnes in a tape that I made for him in 1996, "If I had ever had a moment like that with my father, I would remember it for the rest of my life". I would have been thrilled to death if he had considered me to be his equal.And, of course, there was the scene in the hallway after dinner when Scott accidentally knocked the vase off the table and it broke into many small pieces. Choking back her anger, Antonia said, "Fortunately, it was not an important piece." Mitchell, the butler, who arrived with a broom and dust pan to clean up the mess, said "Quite right, madam, there's another one just like it in the Louvre, if I'm not mistaken." I thought that that was one of the greatest put downs I had ever heard.Charles Lietwiler----- Original Message -----From: tracygehris@aol.comSent: Monday, May 07, 2012 7:33 PMSubject: Re: [SN] The DVDJust finished watching all my Starman dvds.

I watched the first 2 episodes of the DVD and I was flooded with memories. Even though I haven't watched the show in years..I remembered all of the dialog like it was just yesterday. The 2nd episode was the only one I have never seen so finally being able to watch it after waiting all these years was wonderful . It feels like I'm catching up on "old times".
That show is a classic. It stands the test of time. It is just as current as anything else on TV. I am enjoying it immensely! Marilyn
