You’re right of course. And not that it makes THAT much difference, but the four employees were all cabin attendants.

Aimee, there’s one thing that literally every story on this topic is getting consistently wrong. The flight was NOT overbooked. United did NOT have four more paying (meaning booked) passengers for that flight than seats. The four paying passengers were removed from the flight to accommodate four United employees who…

Rachel Maddow is the queen of the ultimately-disappointing pre-commercial tease.

Those mouth breathers who insist that homosexuality is condemned by the Bible are the first ones to tell you that Christians are not beholden to any laws in the Old Testament when you point out the laws about stoning non-virgin women and killing children who curse their parents. My grandmother used to call that…

Ha! A shout out to those of us who spent their childhoods riding in “the way back” of the family station wagon!

See my response to TBGB, but yes, her boyfriend and parents were regular characters, you’re right.

Ya know, I’ve been rewatching it (thanks Amazon Prime!) and really most of the stories were about her wanting to make her own way, and refusing and rebuffing her father’s and boyfriend’s money and advice. It debuted in 1966 - four years earlier than Mary - so yes it was a little more <<quaint>> around the edges, (she…

“The Mary Tyler Moore show was the first television sitcom in America to portray a single working woman’s lifestyle in a way that was not dreary or overly pitiful.”

“And, in closing, can anyone recommend a good conditioner?”

This is Göring to get out of control if someone doesn’t stop it!

Maybe the Wayans brothers can redeem themselves?

I keep waiting for someone (other than me) to say:

She gets paid a helluva lot more.
