Together, Kurtwood Smith and Jane Kaczmarek were quite a catch. Yet not a single network executive had so much as tugged on any of his lines. As the sun beat down on his hands gnarled as usual with writer’s cramp, he was spurred on by the baseball announcer in him reminding how often DiMaggio had played hurt with bone spurs of his own.<br /><br />And then she appeared leeward off the side of the spare but adequate vessel. Twelve miles out, yet somehow buoyant enough to be transported easily by the swiftly moving current. Minus the headshot that would have been superfluous, he could still see by the chalk board she towed that her name was Candy. Appropriate, yet oddly for someone of her profession, spelled with a “y” instead of the traditional “i.” <br /><br />She was no Nancy Travis, but he remembered, “After all, who is?" He learned she was now working under the professional name created for her by the network publicity department – Marlin Monroe. <br /><br />He took this – or more accurately <i>those</i> -- as a sign his luck was changing. Until now the network had provided nothing more than a six pack and poker deck to pass the hours fishing for some sort of hook to encapsulate the show. So it eventually came to him. The log line that had gotten away from him for a dozen weeks: <b>,”My pilot took me deep sea fishing and all I caught was syphilis.”</b><br /><br />"'The marvelous thing is that it's painless,' he said, 'That's how you know when it starts.'"A.
