Nice to know I wasn't the only one who had a thing for Kate Monday. Young me was SO PISSED when Pat Tuesday came on scene and I kept hoping she'd come back but no luck. I even went as Kate for Halloween one year. (Clearly I was popular....) And that was definitely my XF precursor. Sighhhhhhhh.
GIRRRLLLLLL *high-fives you a thousand times*
Pat Tuesday was just NOT THE SAME. (Though the woman who plays her seems like a nice lady, and I’m sorry for all the wrath that child me directed her way.) Also, George wasn’t even UPSET. Had he no LOYALTY??
True story, I wrote A SPEC SCRIPT (yes, another one) years later (I was well into high school and really should have been over this by then) where it turned out that Pat had kidnapped Kate and hypnotized George, and the day was saved by a gerbil named Mathgerb. THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE MY SCRIPT MAN (I did not send them my script)
Also, so totally an XF precursor, RIGHT?? Tall goofy jokey male partner, small serious fierce hypercompetent female partner who tolerates and loves him, the “weird cases” division of their mainstream law-enforcement agency, using each other’s names a lot in a kind of stylized way, deadpan acting, dry jokes...
