WE'RE STEELE HAVING FUN, AND YOU'RE STEELE THE ONE: As the mining of long-begone television series to create enjoyable DVD confections -- a trend that I embrace whole-heartedly -- continues, I saw something cute this morning.
Season One of Remington Steele comes out on DVD in a couple of weeks. I was never a heavy watcher back in 1982 (!!), but I did watch it occasionally with my family. (The Remington Steele set and Season One of Lois & Clark will be my dad's birthday gift in a few weeks.) Reading through the description of the set, I noticed that all 22 episodes have "Steele" in the title.
To wit: License to Steele, Tempered Steele, Steele Waters Run Deep, Signed Steeled and Delivered, Thou Shalt Not Steele, Steele Belted, Etched in Steele, You're Steele the One for Me, In the Steele of the Night, Steele Trap, Steeling the Show, Steele Flying High, A Good Night's Steele, Hearts of Steele, To Stop a Steele, Steele Crazy After All These Years, Steele Among the Living, Steele in the News, Vintage Steele, Steele's Gold, Sting of Steele, and Steele in Circulation. All four seasons apparently continued the naming convention. (Forged Steele, Beg Borrow or Steele, Steele Blushing, Steeled With a Kiss, Bonds of Steele, and so forth.)
It's a good thing the show didn't last any longer, or we'd have had episodes entitled "Steele Trying to Think of More Ways to Stretch Out This Damned Joke" and "Steele Beating a Dead Horse."
