Interesting to see them enact new schedules a week AFTER 2 new stations
are opened.

Mt. Arlington is between Dover and Hopatcong, Wayne between Great Notch
and Little Falls, IIRC.

Hardly "down the street"!

And their _other_ sister, Violet, with the swimming pool, sauna, and
room for a pony (and a cross-dressing husband)

Peter, thanks very much for the needed corrections. Like I said, I
picked up most of this info second-hand by overhearing the program while
in the same room when my wife would be watching it on the TV (or perhaps
that should be "telly").

Just to keep it on-topic, I'm surprised they never did an episode where
they all go to New York City on a trip or vacation of some
sort.....dealing with street vendors and taxi drivers, riding the
subways and whatnot. Now **that** could be funny.

Heck, they never even went to London.

Those programs don't have big budgets.

Look for Patricia Routledge's next series, the Hetty Wainthropp
Mysteries (with a pre-LotR, pre-Lost Dominic Monaghan as her
resourceful errand-boy).
