Snow Globes and Electric Chairs
Nov. 8th, 2018 11:32 amSo, Tom Fontana and I were chatting the other night...
LOL. Actually, we just exchanged comments on Instagram, but I am still tickled pink about the whole thing!
Tom had posted a stock photo of the infamous St. Elsewhere snow globe, and I left a comment asking him if it was true that he still had it (which I had read in a recent interview). And he replied, "There are actually three snow globes (you always need backup just in case...). I have one."

I thanked him for replying and said, "I'm afraid to think what you might've kept from the set of Oz!" :D
And he replied to that! He said, "Among other things, I have (in storage) the electric chair in which Cyril was executed..."

Which, interesting! And kind of funny, because the electric chair had been exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my comment. Heh.
(I'm glad that he specified that it was in storage. I'd be a little unnerved if it was something he had on display in his living room or whatever. O_O)
Anyway, in case you're interested, all episodes of St. Elsewhere are now available to watch on Hulu! Hulu has had Season 1 available for quite some time, but not the other seasons (for who knows what reason). Tom was posting some pics from the show on Instagram to help promote it. I haven't watched the show since it first went into syndication back in the mid-90s (and I never did see the first season), but I remember loving it. (Well, until the finale. Sound familiar?) I'm adding it to my lengthy list of "Shows I'm Going to (Re-)Watch. Really! One Of These Days."
Which reminds me that I need to get back to my Oz re-watch. Entertainment programming tends to fall off my radar when football season starts. (Michigan is currently 8-1, in case y'all are wondering... )
