Jason Bateman + David Garrison in It’s Your Move (1984-85)
Just finished watching this series all the way through for the first time. I miss them already, lol. I have no idea why this show has such a pull on me, but I’m not mad about it. It aired during a very different time and I was able to view it as the satire it was meant to be. The chemistry among the cast was magical. I think that’s what drew me in, initially, and kept me watching.
I hope something will happen for the 40th anniversary in a couple of years…
Anyways, look at these beautiful people…this is how I will always remember them. ❤️
Married… with Children (1987-1997)
Season 3 - Episode 1 - He Thought He Could
Merrily Monday #4
1990 Arena Stage Production
David Garrison, Victor Garber, and Becky Ann Baker
Ever wanted a production of Merrily that's, aggressively, mean spirited? Well I got a girl for you- wait, wrong show.
The 1990 production of Merrily stars Victor Garber. I could make a joke about Assassins, but I think that would kill the mood.
The production is similar to the 1985 production, with some big modifications to lyrics, and an overall more aggressive tone. Oh, and the 1968/Old Friends scene Isn't awful. Joys!
There is something a little crazy though! It opens with about half the scene on the roof (1957) this part is repeated with the whole scene at the end.
So the structure goes:
- 1957
- 1976/9/80 (I'm not sure which year this version uses)
- 1976
- 1973
- 1968
- 1966(7?)
- 1964
- 1962
- 1960
- 1959/8
- 1957
They tried to be a little bit more circular with it. I don't really think the framing works, the 1957 scene has no real driving question in it, and I thank God that it wasn't something kept in later revisions.
Earlier versions of this production had the graduation framing, but it was cut.
Other oddities include:
- Charley and Mary binge drinking TOGETHER in the polo lounge scene (A Mexican? Restaurant in this version, I think)
- Charley talking about his experience with film studios in the restaurant. Make the boy a dog, Charley.
- Generally the restaurant scene is weird.
- Terry is there and she's mentioned as being named Terry Diamond again. God I love Terry Diamond! Terrible name though 👍
- Charley and Frank getting into a heated argument in the interview scene (similar in the 1985 scene, this one is just a lot spikier.)
- Charley generally just swears a lot more in this production, calm down man
It's overall a production of Merrily We Roll Along, no more no less. God bless it !

Does anyone have a full bootleg of The Visit from Broadway that they would be willing to gift or trade?? Very intrigued by the plot and would love to watch it, having missed the chance to see it on Broadway.
Press Reel for the 1997 Broadway production of TITANIC starring Victoria Clark, Michael Cerveris, Brian D’arcy James, David Garrison, & Alma Cuervo.
