Quote:Jim Byrnes, who wrote 34 of the series' best episodes, remembers they kept it subtle. "After the fadeout, there was an unspoken deal that, after the Long Branch closed, and Matt Dillon put up the 'closed for the night' sign, he'd go over to The Long Branch, and go upstairs; but we never explored that."
Quote:The final blow-up came over Blake's wardrobe. Miss Kitty was always supposed to look elegant, and Mantley hadn't budgeted any new costumes for Blake for several years. When she refused to go on without a new wardrobe, Mantley fired her. He would later admit, "It was the biggest mistake I ever made."
