A server is busy, they’re often juggling several tables. They don’t have time to serve everyone, perhaps bus tables, and wait for the perfect unicorn of a moment to check in with you. Anyone who is relying on tips isn’t looking to piss you off, but they don’t have the luxury during a busy service of waiting around so…

Ebert had a life-long love of dogs, but could never bring himself to have one after the loss of a childhood pet. That’s so sad to me.

From what I remember, the show doesn’t hold up particularly well.

Arnold Horshack: You know, Horshack is a very old and respected name; it means “the cattle are dying.”

Yeah, well, those jokes weren’t for him, they were for me. Also, JM doing jokes about him puts him in the same category as Lennie Briscoe. The proper response is “You’re Welcome!”

Ha, love East of Eden. I actually find it inspiring, the idea what we have a choice in who whether or not we give in to our worst impulses — other than Cathy, who was a stone-cold evil bitch. ;)

Tambor acknowledges the occasional outburst on previous shows — he references one “blowup” with actress Jessica Walter on Arrested Development for which he later “profusely apologized” (a rep for Walter says, “Jessica does not wish to talk about Jeffrey Tambor”)

Nobody was listening to her when she was talking policy, no one was asking her about policy, policy wasn’t being reported because something or another — what was it? — was pulling focus. And it was then damned tempting to address what people seemed to prefer to talk about. What they DID prefer to talk about.
