Oh, I loved them, too! Do you remember the conversation Maggie had with the bed bug seated at Holling's bar, and the bed bug lamenting the fact that his son had failed carpet navigation!
The actor that played the psychiatrist to Maggie's Little Red Riding Hood had the perfect voice.  Yes! I think it was a dust mite. I can't recall what brought that on. I think Maggie had a skin rash or something and Joel told her about dust mites.
You are right, yes, it was a dust mite! Maggie couldn't kiss Joel because she thought she could see the dust mites in his eyelashes! She had all her furniture covered in plastic. |

That reminds me --- do you remember when Maggie and Joel started dating, every time they made out, a gun would go off somewhere?  |

You are so right. Something I've learned in life is that it's really difficult to recapture old glory. I'll still check it out but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Thanks to shadowrun for the article.

Was really BIG on Murphy Brown but have not seen the new one at all … I keep forgetting to look for when it is on.. IF it's any good they will show it in syndication IF they can fit it in among the schlock of Two Broke Girls and the Goldbergs and 24/7 Big Bangers … etc . Ranting ? Moi ? I shall go quietly …. |

Yeah, I read it too, but as you said, it is difficult to recapture old glory. But, given the alternatives on TV today, it might be a welcome re-visitation. A friend of mine has Dish... it is astounding, given the technology we have today, and what we choose (or somebody chooses) to do with it. Most of it is unwatchable. |

Maurice Minnefield (Barry Corbin) is one of my favorite characters. Oklahoma native, former Mercury astronaut and now millionaire. He's a decent fellow although he struggles with his bigotry. It's always presented in a funny way.
I love how his principles can be overcome with money. When Ron and Eric came to town, Maurice wants to sell them an old, large run-down house. But when he discovers they're a gay couple, he changes his mind because he doesn't want them to run a bed & breakfast hotel there. So he jacks up the price. To his dismay, they not only accept it, but keep offering him more money until he relents. He receives more money than he could ever hope to get for that place. But afterwards he seems stunned and acts as if they unfairly took advantage of him. I love how they enjoy "poking the bear with a stick". In time he grows to respect them, though.
.
"Maurice Minnifield has never had an impure thought about another man in his life! Well, there was one unsettling dream where I was wrestling with David Niven...but I swear to you: NOTHING HAPPENED!"
[to Bernard] "I know black people. I've been around black people, and I know how they talk. The say thang instead of thing.They say ax. I ax you this, brother, I ax you that. Now, you don't say ax. Neither does Colin Powell and that, that Denzel feller."
[to his lawyer] "You want me to go in front of a judge and tell him an Indian got me drunk and swindled me on a land deal???"

Great profile... it reminds me of when everyone's dreams were getting switched, because of the Aurora Borealis, to different people, and either Ron or Eric got Maurice's dream about helping women try on shoes! I did find his relationship with Barbara interesting, and the astronaut groupie girlfriend that showed up once a year. |

I find it disturbing that there are so few Quotes, Trivia and Goofs on IMDb about this show; was IMDb not around when this aired first?  |

I did find his relationship with Barbara interesting, and the astronaut groupie girlfriend that showed up once a year. Yes! Maurice's shoe fetish. Once Eric figures out that he's receiving Maurice's dreams, he goads Maurice about it. "You know, Ron, what this town needs is a really good women's shoe store."
And the whole Barbara storyline cracks me up. She's a stickler for the law and so deadpan serious about everything. Plus she's perfect for Maurice.

I find it disturbing that there are so few Quotes, Trivia and Goofs on IMDb about this show; was IMDb not around when this aired first? NX aired from 1990-1995. I don't think the IMDb was around yet. That board was never active much. I think people just popped in periodically and made comments. Many of the quotes would have to be transcribed by fans as I've done.
-----------------------------------------
Roselyn: "If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life."
Kafka: "She is right."
Mary: "No, no, Franz. Without art, the cat does not live. Without art, we cannot speak of the cat, we cannot know the cat, we cannot see the cat. Without art, there is no cat."
Kafka: [rubs temples] "Ah, the pounding, the pounding."
---------------------------------------
From the episode "Cicely" (3.23)

OMG, Sulla, I never knew about that site! Thanks!!!! You're welcome. It's pretty much the go to site for NX fans. It doesn't have a quotes section, but if you click on the "episode guide", each episode has a quote from that episode near the top of the info. |
