I hadn't considered the Murphy Brown controversy in connection with the previously discussed I Love Lucy ep.  Good catch!  :-)

No love for Xena yet?

We had to mention Murphy Brown, right?  It was definitely controversial.  :-)

The Di thing was so tasteless I believe it provoked a response from the royal family.

What I love about the Murphy Brown "Potato" episode is that it uses actual footage of Quayle's comments.

Soap!  :-) How about the first episode?

You Can't Do That on Television!  :-)

TV Controversies with Suggested Episodes:

I didn't like how trippy the vamps were all acting (because of the Lilith part of Billith's blood).  I was hoping we'd be able to see them react more seriously to being able to daywalk.  Oh well, there's always next time.

“I love you, Jason Stackhouse!” is the best.  The look of (I don't know what) hope maybe on Sarah's face right after "I love you," the look of bewilderment on Jason's when he hears his name.  And of course, Steve would totally say it.  :-)

I enjoyed Mahandra's energy when she was telling Eric and Jaye, individually, that they have to tell each other how they feel.

I remember staying up all night to watch a Flash Forward marathon once upon a time.  How I loved that show!  :-)

Sure did.

Me too.

I want to see more of Team Wharton kicking Team Harvard's ass, please.

Donna so needed to have sex with the cute Brit that they missed the play?  At least she made sure they were finished in time for a (very late) dinner with the star.
