I can't say I'm really interested in this...

Gah - I think I barely remember that this ever came back! I certainly 
haven't see a second of season #2! (Did Georgina Haig ever show up 
again?...)

A show that I don't regret not watching in the slightest.

Bah! - LMN is rerunning "Held Hostage in My House" with Amy Smart on 
Friday night...  :/

Wait! No sh*t!! Ronni Hawk is still working?! I thought she got 
blackballed/"cancelled" (for something that appeared to me to be 
entirely made up and fictitious).

This looks to be her first real role since 2022's "Girl With a Gun" 
(which I was disappointed by), so she looks to have been almost 
"cancelled" (IOW, unemployed for 3-4 years).

Anyway, will record this for later viewing...
