  1. For some reason, this episode popped into my head this morning. Jennifer Savidge is the star of the subplot in which she's taking care of a dying old man (actor Charles Lane, who lived to age 102!). But the image that also stuck with me subconsciously was Byron Stewart (Warren Coolidge) essentially swaddling/rocking the old man in his arms at the end.

  2. I would love to know the actresses who played Helen Rosenthal's children in Weigh In, Way Out. There's one I swear I know when she's older and acting in other roles.

    1. They're all credited on screen, on IMDb and (conveniently) on this site - click the Cast link at the top of the page and scroll down to the Family & Relationships section.

  3. Just watched this episode - also just found this website. The scene between Jennifer Savidge and Charles Lane is one of the more haunting on a TV show....and the final shot with Byron Stewart - heartbreaking!
