Do any Poirot fans like the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries? I've never seen any and am wondering if they're comparable to Poirot.

Debralee was, as I recall, also a regular on Angie, on which I did a guest shot.

Dearest Tony Dale:

I am so sorry tp hear about the passing of your father. That past couple of years you have been a tower of strength looking after both your parents. It is not the easiest thing to do. I feel for you and if there is anything I can do for you please let me know.

Which Lord Peter Whimseys? The early ones with Ian Carmichael or the later ones with Edward Peherbridge. I liked them both...but it's been awhile since I've seen either.

Debralee used to do the Ray Courts show a lot? What was the cause of death?

Sorry, not sure. I'm just curious how the production design and complexity of the mysteries stack up.

Is that Doris Roberts in the middle of that photo?

The Lord Peter Whimsey production value in the second series with Petherbridge stack up to Poirot. Very period and elegant. I think they do in the Carmichael ones too, though those go back to the sixties or early seventies...so my memory is more hazy. Both series are based on the Dorothy Sayers' books and are multi- episode mysteries, so they are fairly detailed and complex.

From alt.obituaries

Scott moved to north Florida to help care for her sister.
"I talked to her Saturday on her birthday," said Herman. "A week before, she
mysteriously went into a coma for three days. She woke from it joking with
the nurses. She told me the nurse kept asking her, 'Do you know where you
are?' She replied, 'Obviously, I'm in the hopsital.'"
Doctors apparently could not determine a reason for the coma

This page on the Game Show Network fan site seems to have the most information about Debralee. Scroll down to the second story.

Myterious and sad.

While browsing the TV Guide earlier, I noticed that TV Guide has released a series of DVD boxed sets - "Classic Comedies" - or something like that. Sort of like a Best Of The Best Of. Any opinions?

DRJoSE aren't you supposed to be at the theatre by now?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #193 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:06:24 PM »

...And on the local news here in Indy, they broadcast a very nice story on Ryan White. It's been 15 years since he died, and he would have been 34 years old this year. Just "amazing" to think that he was an actual contemporary of mine. He seemed much "younger" to me at the time, I guess because of the distance involved. -And I was even doing AIDS Buddy work at the time... In any case... A very nice story, and they had wonderful follow-up interviews with his mother and doctor.

I'm about to put my shoes on...

Our "call" is downbeat, so... But we're usually there no later than 20 minutes before "Places".

Wow - never heard of a "call" that late, but I am only an Equity candidate! LOL

I did errands and then enjoyed an invigorating hike on one of my favorite trails in town. On the way home I saw a perfect rainbow.

Sad news about Debralee, and scary that she was sent home without knowing the cause of the coma.

Thanks for the Debralee Scott link, JRand. Very sad. I always liked her and it seemed like she was on tv all the time when I was growing up!

Condolences to DR td. I hope fond memories and the support of caring friends, cyber and otherwise, will strengthen you at this time.

DR JMK - I am married to an avid fan of series mysteries and both Poirot and LPW are tops in his estimation. DH Richard is very fond of both the Wimsey books and the Ian Carmichael portrayal. In fact, he selected his wardrobe for our wedding based on the description of what Lord Peter wore when he married Harriet Vane in Busman's Honeymoon.

CSI episode tonight (a rerun that I missed originally when I was doing NUNCRACKERS) was one of its most bizarre concerning murders among the transgender community.

Hi Jose, what a nice surprise. Sorry I have to leave now. Have a good show.

I saw all of them when they were first broadcast on MASTERPIECE THEATER - CLOUDS OF WITNESS, THE NINE TAILORS, THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT THE BELONA CLUB, etc.

I alwways found Dorothy Sayers' mysteries a bit too dry for my taste, and the BBC versions are equally dry and slow moving. Ian Carmichael is perfection as Lord Peter Wimsey, but I just find the POIROTs much more fun.

The second series of Wimsey stories I'm not familiar with at all, so I won't comment.
