I always saw the King of Queens marriage as similar to Ray and Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond except they hate each other much more, the husband is even stupider, and the wife is more of a bitch.

Wow. And the US version of Maude first appeared on All in the Family, which was based on Til Death Do Us Part. I always found it funny to think they made some really great American TV by just ripping off the Brits.

That description makes perfect sense that it came from Gelbart, considering he was a creator of M*A*S*H. More serious, cynical, and pulling no punches about characters sleeping around.

One thing worth mentioning was how Ritter went from a recurring-almost-starring role on "The Waltons," probably the most wholesome drama on TV at the time. And he played the local minister!

Rewatching Night Court over the years I have become surprised just how dirty the show is when it comes to Dan. As a youth I think that may have alerted me to the fact that people have can weird, crazy sexual fetishes, role play, etc. And I'm surprised my parents didn't stop me from watching!

I do remember that my parents didn't want me watching this show. They weren't overly sensitive or anything, they just didn't think it was appropriate. Seeing it here and there, especially in reruns, I personally focus on the show being way too stupid, beyond the sex factor.

I hate the "game the system" comment, which sounds like there were tricks done or rules broken. I don't like Trump, and I agree that the rich people obviously have ways of using loopholes that the regular people don't. And those loopholes should be fixed. But if everything that was done was legal, I'm not sure I care…

No, he bragged about being able to get away with sexual assault, if he so chose. That's different. Right? Sort of?

I realize all that, but in the case of Robin Hood they seem to keep trying to make a new variation when they haven't made any "regular" version of RH in recent years (not in movies, anyway). If you rely on name recognition for something not fresh in the mind of everyone, you just lost a lot of the younger audience.

Why are so many people intent on making a new, revisionist, alternative version of Robin Hood when we haven't really had a traditional version in the movies for decades. How will the youts appreciate a new take on the story if they don't know the new one?

That's too bad. If you were interested in the history of movies like I am, you had to appreciate his introductions on TCM.

- "Boy, it sure is great that so many women are headlining big HBO series!"
- "Yes, but is it REALLY great? What if one day in the future that stops happening?!?"
- "You're right. I guess it's not progress after all."

I agree with other people here being kind of confused by the title. Even when women are greatly represented, we have to be concerned it won't last? Do we need some kind of proof of what will happen in the future? If the women centered shows are getting ratings, more will be made. Maybe I'm missing the point here.

So many attorneys on TV are brilliant. Can't we have a drama series starring a shitty lawyer?

The Hallmark Channel movie line up is like Lifetime without all the sexual assault.

I guess it depends on what a person means by being "attracted." A man crush is different than that to me. You may think Jon Hamm is a cool guy or whatever, but have you ever considered what it would be like to make out with him? Two different things. :)

But is there a difference between a Trump voter and a Trump supporter? I feel like a "supporter" means they are all in on what he does and will defend him no matter what he does. A "voter" could just be a wishy washy person who wasn't sure who to vote for.

Yes, it definitely helps to have some female friends. Sometimes "guy groups" are too insular, and also your male friends probably never concern themselves about you getting a date. Some women will eventually think about introducing you to someone. But even if they don't, it's a better chance you'll run into other…

I think some of your thoughts are an example of going a little too far worrying about making sure you're seen as a progressive enough person. Being attracted to someone's appearance isn't a bad thing. You can't know if you're compatible with anyone unless you talk to them first, no matter what they look like. You…

I commented below, but also let me add this. There is a way in your head that once it seems like a woman is just not interested, you can say, "Ah, screw her. Her loss," but not in a resentful way. If in your mind you're thinking, "Oh, I really want to be her boyfriend," then you just made any future rejection a…
