Erm, not quite. Twiggy said "Diggy-Diggy," and IIRC, they actually gave him
other non-word tidbits occasionally, but by the time I finally got the
Sci-Fi channel, they've quit playing it.

I have seen every episode several times, and consider myself quite the
trivia buff of that series. (I also own the original book compounded from
the original comic strip series... *quite* different from the show! ;-)
Anyone remember Buck's *full* name, or his ship # (each shown only once
during the series)?

And... that was Erin Gray... who also played on "Silver Spoons."

Have fun,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
