I went thru WKRP earlier this year and was surprised at how good it was. There's a few shows that tackle serious issues mixed in with all the fun.

The full DVD collection with original ‘70’s music is a worthwhile investment for true fans of the show. Although Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” is replaced with an alternative, they got the rights to most of the tunes for that collection. Plus, you get to hear a would-be Russian defector say to Les: “hold me closer, tiny dancer.” On reruns, he says a poorly dubbed “hold my toaster, terrible dresser.”

Our local Dedades is showing The Addams Family. I'll have to see if they do a marathon another weekend.

This needs a Bailey (Jan Smithers) vs Jennifer (Loni Anderson) poll!

I have a feeling Bailey would be the winner here!

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

Loni Anderson dominates any scene she is in but Jan Smithers was very attractive as well. She became a mother at the age of 38 and left acting. One article says she focused on "spirituality" after her daughter was grown and then she eventually came back to Hollywood to work behind the cameras. Interesting story.

Jan Smithers made to play a somewhat distant second fiddle in the apparently cold studio with Loni.

Jan was in something, maybe a TV movie, and without having to compete she showed she stacked up quite well compared to Loni.

However, I don't remember her having to cope with wind chill.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
