That really is true YM, about Johnny Cash. All the other guest murderers were terrific actors who really brought so much to the episodes they appeared in. Johnny was a bit sub-par as an actor. I wonder why he was picked? Obviously the role called for a country singer but weren't there others who could have been cast in that role? Off-hand I really can't think of any, because I am not really a fan of country music, (sorry) so I don't know if there is a singer out there who was also an actor.
Maybe Peter was a fan of his.
David, you have mentioned how Short Fuse is your favourite before. I have to say that when I watched it the first few times I was not impressed. But on repeated viewings I have grown to love it. You mentioned in your original post some great points about the episode. I was just wondering if you would be willing to start a fresh thread on Short Fuse so we all could really discuss it in depth.
