Don’t you be dissin’ Shock Treatment, my friend. I still maintain Jessica was an amazing Janet. I have the soundtrack on cassette (rescued it from a library vendor warehouse, actually) somewhere and pull it out periodically to listen to it. Bitchin in the Kitchen…..hehehe

I remember Jon Sable, Freelance having a lot of shirtless gallivanting as well.
