Lyle Waggoner was only in three of the six season produced by Carol's company, which is one reason why he's under-represented in syndication and video.  Tim Conway, although only a regular for the last three season, usually appeared twice a month during the first eight seasons, which is one reason why he gets much…

Todd VanDerWerff, the reason why there are single sketches such as "The Dentist" is because they are from the first five season which have never been on home video or re-edited for syndication.  They were made during the second half of Carol's 10 year CBS contract and suffer from 'dual ownership' with Bob Banner…

The fact that we are now rooting for Sonny proves the skill and humanity of Davis Simon's shows.  Viewers really hated this guy!

I'm not passing any judgement here, I just think you could find more productive ways to spend your time.  Life is too short.  I know that gets said a lot, but as someone who is entering middle age, all I wish is that I had more time to do all the things that make me (and others around me) happy.

I was bummed when I saw her name in the credits.  I had forgotten all about her.

I based my drag persona on Hanoi Hannah, although I never understood why until now.  Woronov assumed a particular kind of power in her performances that she felt was denied to her because of her gender, which is what makes her so captivating on screen.  I found her views on performing with drag queens interesting in…

Mary Wilson was always the sexy one, to Diana's chagrin.  She dated Steve McQueen and Tom Jones at the height of their fame!  As for her singing, I just love her voice.  When she sings "Darling just relax, you melt me like hot candle wax," I melt just like she told me to.  Her singing is very strong on the last…

The Supremes albums "Reflections" and "Love Child" and her solo albums "Diana Ross" (1970) and "Everything is Everything" (1971) show her stretching herself as an artist quite nicely, as almost all the songs on those albums are good, no small feat for a Motown LP.

She's not a natural singer like Flo Ballard and on their early records her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.  However, her insane will to succeed drove her (and her producers) to find what she could do best and then push her voice and emoting further from there.  I think of her more as a vocal stylist, and at…

They used to have fun with the product placement, everything was done with a wink.  Everybody seems to be going through the motions now.  After Drag Race All-Stars I'm probably done.  It's sad what LOGO is becoming, especially since RuPaul helped take it to the next level.
