There are some of us old enough to remember Patrick Duffy's "prior claim to fame" as the title character in The Man From Atlantis.

It's also possible that Mr. Raygor doesn't realize that what Jay is talking about is not Dallas, but Duffy's much more recent stint on the decidedly less than family-friendly soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful.

A-ha, now I see what Mr. Temple was getting at.

Since I very rarely watch any daytime soaps, that didn't really enter my mind. (Once in a while, I'll keep the TV on CBS if I don't feel like getting up and grabbing the remote after TPIR. Plus, it brings back old memories with my grandmothers who watched them religiously)

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was raised Baptist and, as a kid, I always wondered why we were forbidden to play Bingo while my Catholic friends were playing it AT CHURCH.

/rhetorical.

Actually, I was talking about Dallas, but I'd agree that B&B is ironic too, expecially since it aired concurrently with Bingo America.

ETA: In any case, I wasn't referring specifically to Duffy's character, but just to the show at large.
