The more you look into it, the more QAnon takes on the look and feel of a Thomas Pynchon novel.

In a way, I get where TPTB were coming from. At that time, the general public knew so little about AIDS, and they understood even less. Most just assumed that gays and POC were the only ones susceptible to it. But, by showing that, in fact, ANY one, even a straight white man or woman, is susceptible to contracting AIDS, they were able to better inform viewers the realities. Otherwise, if they show a gay person or a person of color dying from the virus, they run the risk of reinforcing viewers' misconceptions, which (as recent events have shown us) is something you DON'T want to do during a public health crisis. As wonderful as that "Designing Women" episode about the AIDS crisis was (and still is) to watch, I think it misses something by having a gay man be the one who ultimately succumbs to the virus, despite the fact that AIDS first showed up in the LGBTQ community and that they were hit hardest by it (especially during the Reagan administration). Linda Bloodworth-Thomason did her best to tell her audience the truth about the virus, but I always worry whether the story's outcome (namely, a gay man has contracted AIDS; and now, a gay man is dying from it) actually opened the minds of any real-life Imogene Salingers out there. I think many, if they're even watching at all, reach the conclusion that "they still got what they deserve!" and think no more of it.

Well, I could have told him that on Inauguration Day!

Why are his allies even bothering to advise the team? We already KNOW there won't be enough votes to convict him! It really doesn't matter at this point WHAT the team does and does not bring up at trial.

I actually heard that story on NPR's "Morning Edition" several weeks ago. I couldn't decide whether he was your run-of-the-mill grifter, your run-of-the-mill millennial dope, or both.

Wait, Armie Hammer had a career?

Move over, Buffy. There's a new Slayer in town. ;)

Yeah, I don't trust him. Just as I don't trust any GOP'er who expresses disdain over the party's direction even as they refuse to leave it. IMO, saying you're outraged by the likes of MTG becoming the face and voice of the GOP isn't enough. Either you leave the party for good, as former Oklahoma congressman Mickey Edwards did recently, or you're complicit in their rampant (and dangerous) extremism.

Chasten. Pete isn't UGLY, but he's on the nerdy side, too.

Agree.

For me, Kevin McCarthy's actions yesterday prove the GOP are unable and unwilling to compromise. Ever. If anything, they're doubling and tripling down on the extremist thinking.

If my father were still alive, he would be DEVASTATED by this news. Engelbert wasn't just his favorite singer; he was the ONLY singer whose music he'd listen to, even during the Christmas season.

Chasten and Pete are so cute together. It makes me wanna puke.

Well, it certainly hasn't kept Pete Buttigieg from achieving great things. ;)

I mean, he just looks so average. And short. But, hey, girl, thirst away, lol.

From the same team who wrote the themes for "Cheers" and "Mr. Belvedere":

I hope they updated the original series' theme song for this revival. That song was one of the best ever.

The one and only! Too bad they didn't have Susan Flannery and Rita Moreno switch roles. Jameson Parker probably had more chemistry with his "mom" than he did with Susan.

LOL!! But seriously. Some of the names we (African-Americans) plop down on our offspring go past self-parody.

So, her parents named her that ON PURPOSE? Oh, Black people, we NEED to TALK.

"Precious Way"?? Lord, I hope that's just a stage name.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn Robert Calhoun was among those ghost-writing the show during that period.

Agree. But, at least he did his best to leave this world a little better than how he found it, which is what we all should do, I think.

This HAS to become a movie. This, and Greta Thunberg's story.
