Thoughts on Northern Exposure, episodes 16-17

“What I'm trying to say is that we can't know what's in another person's heart. We can't even know what's in our own. Life turns on a dime, and somehow we muddle through.”

It so happens that The Facts of Life aired its teen prostitution episode (she befriended Tootie, in NYC to see Sophisticated Ladies) the night before. Viva sweeps month!

But will suckers still be born every minute?

I feel the same way about railroad travel.

But Moe — the dank, the dank!

Sadly, GAR's only Broadway credit was Carrie (in the Travolta role). Talk about a missed opportunity.

My mother had to co-sign for my Slovenian baby.

I'm going to miss their retro-looking underwear.

It's mine!
Mine all mine!

Andrea Martin's take on Gilda Radner is pretty funny.
