66. Baby Boom is my favorite too!

Aside from the great story line and fun clothes, I really enjoy the views of both NYC and rural Vermont, 2 places I've known throughout my life.

She was a great actress, memorable in so many performances as folks are noting throughout this thread, and she will be missed and remembered. I'll have to rewatch Baby Boom this weekend, and may rewatch a number of others as well.
