ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
It's cancelled already? Why am I not surprised? Yes, Linda Lavin always seems to play the nagging Jewish mother on TV. Yet, she played the part to chilling effect years ago on an episode of L&O: CI. Outside of Alice Hyatt and before her, the volatile Det. Janice Wentworth on Barney Miller, she always does seem to play the same character on TV. Judging by her sheer volume of stage work, she's capable of so much more.

Yes, I remember the recasting of the daughter. (I think the original actress went off to film a movie.) That was Ayda Field as the weathergirl; she had played Angela on DAYS from 2000-01 and went on to marry Robbie Williams.

He negates EVERYTHING a victim of sexual harassment and/or abuse has gone through by endorsing Moore...and not just Moore's victims. EVERY victim.

Roy Moore and his ilk give true, God-fearing people who genuinely love Jesus such a bad name. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/11/21/politics/roy-moore-kayla-kisor-15-years-old/index.html For the record, the man who I thought was my friend was over 20 years older than I. He cornered and propositioned me in his home not 30 minutes after Sunday services and after we had both taken communion.

I'll have to On Demand that episode of 9JKL just to see Lois Smith. But you're right...9JKL is not a great show, or even a good one.

Primetime shows that were cancelled too soon
Back to You (Fox, 2007-08) I feel that this sitcom was more a victim of bad timing - read: the 2007 WGA strike - than anything else. Despite the talent on both sides of the camera, Fox didn't give the show enough of a chance - even after the writers' strike was settled. In hindsight, everything worked out well for many of the people on BTY. Patricia Heaton and Ty Burrell landed on ABC on The Middle and Modern Family, respectively. Both shows are now in their ninth seasons. Josh Gad has gone on to a successful stage and film career. Kelsey Grammer and Fred Willard still pop up on shows and commercials. Plus, as a fan of The Middle, I can't imagine it without Patty Heaton. Frankie Heck is a much better role for her than BTY's Kelly Carr was.

Norah and Gayle were deeply shaken delivering that story this morning, but glad that they were clear in saying that they believed the women who spoke out (and Charlie himself didn't deny it). Julie Chen on The Talk (herself a CBS News alum) was visibly upset when that topic was brought up this afternoon. On a side note, I asked my mom today if she had heard about Charlie Rose. She hadn't. After I told her, she said that she wouldn't be surprised if the only male left at PBS who hasn't harassed a woman is Big Bird!!

Not as sorry as I am, for I share the same first name as the former intern. I was endlessly teased about my name by classmates and co-workers alike for a good long time. "Hey, where's Bill?" Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm sure that's the line PBS will use if/when they kick him out.

Providence on NBC lasted from 1999-2002, but it was cancelled rather abruptly. It still had enough potential that they could have gone for another season or two. This was the show that introduced me to a then-unknown actor named Jon Hamm.

My grandmother was extremely disappointed when her three favorite brand-new shows of 1991-92 were all cancelled after a single season: Brooklyn Bridge, Homefront and I'lI Fly Away.
