"It's a Miserable Life," which I think was the first sitcom episode to do the "I'm going to tell you off … oh crap, you died in front of me!" plot. The Bob Newhart Show's "Death of a Fruitman" had the death happen off camera, before the telling off.

Or when Dorothy holds a knife to Sophia's throat to demonstrate right hand vs. left hand.
"Not part of the show, folks, not part of the show!"

Designing Women

It's a great episode all around, especially since Rose temporarily got out of too dumb to live mode and proved she was a fine grief/family counselor.

Speaking of themes, I always wanted a series of ring tones based on the various music cues.

My biggest issue with "The Heart Attack" is that Sophia's stroke, her most significant health crisis to date, isn't mentioned. That seems especially odd since Susan Harris wrote both that episode and the pilot, which introduced the stroke in the first place.

Poor Markie. I had no idea her confidence was so tentative.

So good, it was included in the video Broadway stars did parodying a Russian theatre ban:

The AVC's Inventory book had a great section on "Rediscovered Williams Plays," which included Turns Out Clyde Maxwell Was Gay and a series involving a fit young man of prominence doing crunches and shaving his balls.

While maybe a little too skewered towards the Very Special Episodes, I can't disagree with this list. "Old Friends" was a tough episode to watch even before Estelle's Alzheimer's became public knowledge.

Hot and bothered nun (Lela Ivey): "It does look a little like John Forsythe …"

There was also Dorothea the schoolteacher in A Lovely Sunday for Creve Coeur.

In a lot of ways, Reeve had Chris Hemsworth's problem — he kept stretching himself, but audiences only wanted to see Superman (plus, Deathtrap had the misfortune of having its big plot twist spoiled).

Still need to do that.

If you press this button, someone will di … … no, you may not press it again.

Well, now what is that German man dressed as a pig supposed to read?

I wouldn't be surprised. Alas, nobody had it on their ballots.

"An old man in love is like a flower in winter," as the Portuguese say.
(Make of that what you will, but I see it as "a miracle".)

Happy Birthday!

Absolutely. It's heartbreaking. I always wanted to perform "Drivel" or "Closure" as a monologue.
