BONUS RERUN: The First Time with Scarecrow and Mrs. King
The Conversation
- Beverly Garland: the hotel AND the actress – Plus, Is she Amanda King’s mother – or Laura Holt’s (Remington Steele)?
- Kate Jackson’s previous hit show: Was it Alley Cats or Harry’s Angels or….?
- Did the writers change Amanda from being married to divorced in the pilot script?
- Who was the first female showrunner in TV history – and why did it take 30 years before there was another?
- What was Amanda King’s superpower?
- And what does all this have to do with Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope?
Join us for our “First Time” as we solve the mystery of whether or not Scarecrow and Mrs. King was a feminist show – a progressive show – or both?
Have no fear: Susan and Sharon are on the case!
