You rang?

The thing is, we've reached the point where guys who played superheroes are the only ones who have the swagger of '80s rock stars (besides Bowie, Sting, Mick Jagger, Prince and Michael Jackson were considered).

I should note that when I was going through the episode summaries to make my wish list for "The Moms of ABC," I found a surprisingly healthy amount of episodes where Angela does act as a mother to Samantha.

I do wonder if Susan Harris was writing any of the Golden Girls with Katherine in mind.

Someone on my dad's side of the family had his best-of album.

From what I've seen of Who's the Boss?, I've liked. But good lord, I can't believe they got eight years out of that premise.

Not only that, but there were episodes where the plot seemed to be "guest star does his or her act". Looking at you, Bill Irwin.

Great commentary on The Cosby Show. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts in subsequent years, which, even before the scandal was known, felt uncomfortable. I swear the show loved the idea of Denise, then Vanessa, as fuck-ups.

“Sarah, you've got to understand, I am supervising 20 interns. I am running the surgery department of one of the largest hospitals in the country … and I'm sitting on 12 medical committees.

Who doesn't treat his or her body like a horse race?

I always assumed it had to do with boobs.

Many is the Friday evening where I've thrown in an extra prayer against heart failure.

While cultivating a dismissive attitude towards the soap opera genre.

Oh yeah? Well, my four-part series on children who like to write but aren't pursuing writing careers or English degrees is going to knock the socks of the Pulitzer committee next year, just you wait and see!

Thank you for the heads up.
