Music rights were also a huuuuuge drain on the budget.

I want to say the same thing about Love, but I didn't watch enough to see if the entire series really ended-up as Paul Rust's Wish Fulfillment Fantasy - because it certainly started-off that way.

Reflektor was pretty bad. It sounded like a demo of a much shorter album that might've been good. Hoping this time they remembered to end their songs in less than seven hours.

Mr. Belvedere was the first sitcom to openly address the AIDS crisis and try to overcome the rampant otherizing of its victims and all-consuming fear that was everywhere back in the '80s.
