Female regular cast


What was with the revolving door for the female regular cast member? Three different actresses in four seasons. Did the girls quit or were the producers always on the lookout for this year's model?

reply

I wouldn't call it a revolving door because there were only three total and the last one was still with the show when it ended.

I have no clue why Brianne Leary left. Hopefully she didn't "drop out" with her cousin Timothy Leary.

Randi Oakes was said to have left because she wanted to spend more time with Gregory Harrison. It makes sense because she quit acting all together a couple years later.
Whoever came after Randi doesn't matter because Larry Wilcox left and the show pretty well bombed afterwards.

Tina Gayle finished out the show and afik, quit acting soon after. Considering the bad ratings of the last season, she was probably more famous from being a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and being on Battle of the Network Stars.

There was one actress in this who should have been a regular. Her name is Tammy Alverson, and she looked like Jennifer Lawrence. The episode that Tammy was in is called Crash Course.

Which was the episode and who was the actress where Ponch said that her "legs came up to here"?

Season 1, Episode 6: "She's beautiful! Tall, tanned, legs up to here. You better keep your eyes on the car in front of you. She wears these short shorts and little flip-flops.....and she's even got sexy feet!"

Fab, thanks!

Character played by Jenny Sherman maybe? I requested the DVD from the library so I guess I'll find out when it arrives.

reply

Yeah, it's her.

reply

Aha, thanks!
I was amazed I could still remember that line from having seen it only once, back when it first came out, way back in 1977. I'm curious to see whether she still looks as hot as I thought she did back then. ;)

Finally saw it! But alas, a bit underwhelmed.
