I was watching an episode of The Donna Reed Show from 1960. I watched the end credits and saw that it had been written by a man named John Whedon!
And one of the characters was named Buffie.
Coincidence?!?!?!?!?
Yes. But not entirely. He's Joss's grandfather. *G*

Date: Jun. 16th, 2014 08:47 pm (UTC)I rewatched the ep to see if I would recognize 13-year-old Susan this time around (and absolutely did! So many familiar expressions and head tilts), and during one of her scenes with the series star, Hugh O'Brian, I was suddenly dumbstruck by the fact that I had seen both of them in person. Susan I actually met and spoke to and got an autograph and photo with on the cruise, and Hugh I saw on stage starring in Cactus Flower when I was living in Indianapolis.
And here they were, together, in 1957. And me watching in 2014. :-D

(Oh how funny -- I was thinking back to when I found out that Nathan Fillion had been a character I knew on One Life to Live, and I didn't make the connection when I met him in the Jossverse, only realized it when I read something about his previous work. And there's your icon!)

Dr. Jeff scenes would be a fun clip hunt to go on. Baby!Jack! Even babier!Jack than Mac! D'awwwwww ...
