What a cool thing for you to remember! It was so funny - I remember seeing "Prince Hercules" and thinking what a beautiful woman Sam was, and what good chemistry they had together. At the time, I figured "Oh, she just reminds me of Tawny Kitaen." Serena never did anything for me (even though it did give Kevin Smith the chance for that great line "Deer - I'm home!") but I was very happy for Kevin Sorbo and Sam. Especialially after seeing that Celebrity Profile, and learning how much of his personal life he scarificed the first three or four years of the show.
Happy Anniversary!
