In addition we will be posting lots of magazine articles featuring the cast, including the rare Muppet Magazine which our friend Carmela has very kindly sent to us. Also this month we see the return of my fan fiction story "Doris Schwartz Time and Again" with the first story of season 3.

The Episode of the Month is "School Is Out" from Season 4 to tie in with it being Janet Jackson Month. Posts start tomorrow.
