+monte michel bleu So true, I didn't get to see these in 82, I was to busy feeding my own Family to watch television, I'm glad they're here for Us in Our rusty years. :)
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I remember watching this with my mom as a kid. 40 years later we're still talking about food hunger; proper use of American aid; and bringing our own mugs to reduce costs and waste.. I loved/love this show. The fact that most of these topics are still relevant, showed how well they zeroed in on critical issues.. and always with just enough humor and intrigue to keep people riveted to pay attention to the issues they were addressing. "Oh, and if the poet is tempted to confess.. I would advise against it."😂🤣
Sometimes the writing simply sparkles....'it's like you're chasing a woman who doesn't want you'.. & 'put the story away for a while-- it may ripen, or it may sour'.
The relationship between Sister Louise (Uta Hagen) and Rossi remind me of a story I heard on The Moth radio hour. A specialist in infections is asked to fly to India to treat Mother Theresa whose pacemaker has developed an infection. The doctor is in New York. The quickest flight is on the Concord. But the flight is completely booked. Some of the nuns from the Order’s New York house pick up the Doctor and drive to JFK intent on begging one of the passengers to give up their ticket so the doctor can treat Mother and possibly save her life. Anyone who attended a parochial school knows that when confronted with one or several determined nuns “Resistance is Futile!”
How did the Charity Worker know about the little girl? When Rossi tried to find out how she was the Official told him there were no telephone lines etc to her village. No communications.
This is the second episode in which they've used "Malagua" as the name of a fictional Latin American country. Personally, I thought once was too many. I hate to be critical of this show. I love it. But it had its imperfections.
Can I ask why don't you like it? It might have been done because it was a fictitious story about something that didn't show the country in a good light. People can get very touchy when American shows,movies and books show Latin American/European countries in a bad light.
Linda played the young woman who got a job with The Happy Homemaker and pulled an "All About Eve" on Sue Ann, who got her revenge on her. Carol Ita White played the hippie, not Barbara Jane Edelman - she played the woman at the hippie clothing store.
One of the best TV Series, ever. Superb writing, believable characters, outstanding acting. So wonderful to watch these once again.
Thank You!

Uta Hagen taught acting in New York. The school has a series of her lectures to acting students. Some of them may be on UA-cam.
She wrote one of the classic acting texts that I studied
They are talking about styrofoam cups and only now are getting close to stoping the use of plastic bags.
Uta Hagen! Fabulous.
How did the Charity Worker know about the little girl? When Rossi tried to find out how she was the Official told him there were no telephone lines etc to her village. No communications.
Rossi-"If you are good enough to come to the coast....."LMAO.
Excellent episode.

LOL, they used "Alta Mira" a few times, first for the book burning and then for the episode when the town manufactured the cancerous chemical.
If they use an actual country, that can be problematic.
@@xanajakI haven't heard of Alta Mira all season. I have wondered if that was analogous to Altadena or somewhere more distant.
Oh, good, Nancy Marchand is in this one.
Is Linda the same actress that played that hippie costume lady on Rhoda? I think her name on that show was Tina.
Barbara Jane Edelman (IMDb)
