failed pilot that I watched for some reason

JoBeth Williams, Mark Blum, and Harriet Sansom Harris in Gloria Vane (1993)

I simply had to drop by to congratulate you on finishing "Weep Not for the Happy."

What a thoughtful gesture. Especially since you were so keen to play the part yourself.

Oh, Peter told me. He said, "Doreen wants to play your part very badly." And I said, "You know, I think she could."

I think you have things a bit mixed up, dear. But I won't argue. I respect my elders.

Oh, you should, dear. There's so few of them left.

I don&apos;t know why I watched this. I bookmarked it on YouTube for some reason. Did I just like the premise? Was there an actor in it I was curious about?

Whatever the reason, the pilot for this series about a 40s movie star is, in spite of the somewhat unusual setting, a very conventional sitcom. It did have the occasional cute moment, as in the scene where Gloria makes the little boy cry, but mainly it&apos;s that sort of loud, obvious sitcom that wasn&apos;t good in the 90s and looks even worse today.

JoBeth Williams is persuasive, however, as Gloria, and actually rather impressive imitating a 40s tearjerker scene. But she wasn&apos;t enough to keep me watching to the end.
