i was a little surprised, and pleased, to see kate mulgrew coming out for kamala. for a long time, she was a hardline pro-lifer, having given up a daughter for adoption in the 1970s.

missed that that she had denounced dobbs, saying that while it wasn’t her choice, it was a choice each woman had to make for herself.

I think the majority of voters in this country feel the same way that Kate Mulgrew does about abortion.  Most aren't necessarily "pro-abortion," but they do believe that that is a choice that each individual woman has to make for herself without fear of retribution from the government.

It's only those "moral majority" types on the right who believe they have to intrude in and regulate every aspect of people's lives, including whether a woman has the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, because "Jesus told them to;" when, in fact, Jesus would be the first one to tell them to mind their own [!@#$%^&*] business.

I agree. Perot dominated airtime he paid for, he was ubiquitous. I remember being baffled as a child that they gave him a half hour or whatever to ramble on, I couldn't understand it (and didn't know he'd bought it). Because of that he even made it into a ton of golden age SNL political coverage at the time. (Which just reminds me that I had the SNL inaugural/election special or whatever it was from '92/'93, where they showed like 20 years of SNL political sketches, recorded on my Mom's VCR to watch over and over for years.) But I don't think any third party candidate other than maybe Nader in 2000 has come even remotely close to Perot's actual impact since. When someone starts taking over huge chunks of nationwide TV time or appearing non-stop on SNL again, then I'll get nervous.

    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
