GAME OF THE NAME: VICKERS IS THE VICTOR

'Burke's Law' has provided yet another example of a character's name being different in the credits than it was in the actual TV Universe.

In "Who Killed The Eleventh Best-Dressed Woman In The World", Josephine Hutchinson was credited onscreen as "Madeline Victors". But her name - and that of her niece Gloria - is clearly heard as "Vickers".

And it's not like the others swallowed up that "T" sound - at one point Solange Kelly, owner of the Nirvana Health Club Farm enunciates the word "victim" and the "T" can be plainly heard.

This is just another example of why the credits should never be considered as part of the TV Universe.

By the way, Madeline Vickers once lived just outside of Brewster, NY. Perhaps she knew the Marie family - Lew, Helen, and their daughter Ann...... (from 'That Girl')

BCnU!
