For photo smiles, I have to think of something that actually delights me, or at least makes me involuntarily smile because it’s so inappropriate.

The things I’m thinking when photographed smiling are usually not anything that someone might expect from that situation.

That’s good to hear. From what I recall most of the surviving copies that were out there have Spanish or Italian language dubbed dialogue over them (presumably because they were recorded by someone overseas, rather than the US)

I think that show may be at least partially lost media at this point. Crazy to think something that ran in the late VHS era wouldn’t have more home video recordings of it surviving.
