I was an old friend of Maryann Charles...Hello Ken. I was an old friend of Maryann Charles. We went to school together at Hollywood Professional School and became best friends. For various reasons we drifted apart and I had not seen her in many years but often thought about her, especially when I would go to Big Sur and drive by Glen and Maryann's home off Hwy. 1. I went on to your site about the 30th "Cheers" reunion because I thought I had seen Glen's photo on the Emmy's memoriam segment and I thought I would try to get hold of Maryann to send her my condolences. I thought I might be able to get in touch with her through the internet.. However, Iin reading your story, I understand it is Maryann who has passed away and that the Glen Charles who was remembered in the memoriam is a different Glen Charles. I guess what I would like is to have someone tell Glen how sorry I am to hear that Maryann is gone. We had some exciting and memorable times together. She was smart and a bit eccentric, and I thought the world of her. I still see her staring down my Irish Setter, whom she was not fond of, and this old dog backing far, far away! If you see Glen, please let him know that Marta Kristen (the actress from Lost in Space), is so very sorry for his loss and that I will keep him in my prayers. Thank you.MARTA KRISTEN KANEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-59266609804833359202012-10-13T20:37:21.006-07:002012-10-13T20:37:21.006-07:00Thanks for sharing!

Ted and Kirstie went out after every shoot night with us to the Columbia Bar and Grill. I remember one night we even went dancing, had a blast dancing with Ted and Woody while George watched my purse for me :) They treated all of us as equals, not just the staff, all of you guys did and I truly appreciated being treated as an equal by all on this show. Jimmy and Les were wonderful to me, I never knew Glen, met him once. But the love and friendships on this show were genuine. and one of the greatest experiences of my life. <br /><br />Sad that most of the staff and crew were not invited to the reunion but I do understand how out of control that party would have been. <br /><br />It was great working for Ted, he is the real deal, he was a great boss and once I went over to work on the show he always made sure I was taken care of. <br /><br />Thank you for posting the pictures... they are awesome to see... and bring back a flood of memories.... <br /><br />I wish now we could just throw a big pot luck somewhere and we could all get together! <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Georgyne.Precious Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249527805134959859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-90942946595414226842012-10-10T00:00:39.587-07:002012-10-10T00:00:39.587-07:00This was the last primetime sitcom I watched.They ...This was the last primetime sitcom I watched.They don't make them like this anymore.<br /><br />Now if only NBC would have a Cheers 30th anniversary reunion!Chasrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545599811374245373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-19820963136169998952012-10-09T18:43:03.571-07:002012-10-09T18:43:03.571-07:00So great, Ken.

I'm glad she's happy with doing commercials, although I wish Hollywood was making better use of such a gifted comic actress. I remember her recounting how she had to go about telling her father of her role in the beginning of "Lethal Weapon"--that it basically consisted of her getting high while half naked and throwing herself off a building. Just what every dad wants to tell the guys his little girl is up to. <br /><br />Speaking of that, I remember all the "Oblivion" cast and American crew would typically eat together in the hotel restaurant in the evening. And one evening as everyone's eating, word filters through that River Phoenix had died, the cause unclear at the time...except Jackie and every young actor in the place looked at each other, nodded, and muttered "Drugs." Everyone was VERY quiet for the rest of the time.<br /><br />If you're in touch with Jackie, please tell her I said hi and think of her often. <br /><br />Glad you liked the Pulp Fiction cover. It's one of the very few covers that I personally conceived of since I loved the original so much.<br /><br />PAD<br />Peter Davidhttp://www.peterdavid.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-33395002379415296292012-10-08T15:07:35.342-07:002012-10-08T15:07:35.342-07:00On a day off from work (as a high school teacher),...On a day off from work (as a high school teacher), I spent my afternoon watching the first season of Cheers on Netflix and THEN saw this post.

I recently started to re-watch from S1, E1 & was amazed at how many laugh out loud moments per episode. I don't recall any recent series that come even close. <br />Not that it was only one-liners. I really appreciate the depth. In "Coaches Daughter" I was misty-eyed as Lisa bit her tongue when she realized how honest (& right) Coach was being in his view of her being beautiful.
