To say that I am heartbroken over the news of Bob Newhart's passing would be a grand understatement.  Next to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," his two shows - "The Bob Newhart Show" and later, just "Newhart" - were the most influential to me as a child and young adult, as well as a lasting reminder of when network TV still trusted their audiences to be intelligent enough to get the jokes, and patient enough to watch the actors in between them.

RIP, Bob; and wherever you are, I hope you're bringing down the house with one of your legendary, one-sided phone conversations.

My beloved godmother Mitzi McCall has passed. She and my godfather. Charlie Brill were married for 64 years. A marriage people wish for. They raised my amazing god sister @jennybrillyoga . They were a magic , imperfectly , perfect family. I am so blessed to call them mine. I don’t know how how any of us do this without our beloved Minnie.

Mitzi McCall

Awww.

Of all the things she did, my only true exposure to Mitzi McCall was, of all things, Silk Stalkings, where she played Fran Lipschitz, wife of police captain, Harry Lipschitz, played by her real-life husband, Charlie Brill.

She had personality! May she rest in peace.

    • And her evolution was so subtly done. There was nothing like the depraved shows later on, like Game of Thrones, where they said a woman needed to be raped in order to find empowerment. The layers of Laura were what got me hooked on Knots, somewhere in the season 3 repeats. And I agree that her becoming a therapist would have made sense - look at how much her trauma over her mother drove her decisions early on.
    • I think that the problem with Laura was that she had grown to love herself and saw her value in both herself, her career, and her marriage.  She had this inner strength and confidence that Lynn/Bernard didn't know how to harness/write for because they were more interested in generating conflict amongst emotionally immature people. Karen/Mac and Gary/Val were all immature/stubborn to a fault even though they all had grown/evolved.  So the Latham's could key into their essence/history to generate the standard soap opera tropes and stories for them. Even the season 8 conflict with Laura's pregnancy and Greg not being cool with it didn't diminish Laura's fire and strength.  You saw how she was able to move on and live her life as a single mother because she'd already done that after Richard took off.   I saw her response to Greg's kissing Paige as 'that's my husband and I can't change him.. but once I find something better, I'll toss himself'.  She wasn't emotionally tied to him nor his money.. and I think that was partly why she was such a unique and interesting character in the nighttime soap world in the 80s.
    •   They actually had great chemistry to as friends in the scene I felt. A shame it was the first onscreen interaction. Looks better than Bill/Hayley’s house. I absolutely loved that! I feel the exact same way. This is just facts. Those scenes today between them were electric.
    • If The Real Housewives of Dubai is on hiatus/pause (a.k.a. done), then we need a way for Caroline Stanbury to come back to Ladies of London.
    • I hate quick snip scenes.  Such a tired hold-over from the 1980s.  And that nonsense does not belong on BTG.  Bring back the long scenes.  
    • Eva packing, thinking about how good the Richardson's house smells.

    • In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

    • I don't really read spoilers, but Perry Shen seems to come and go so even if this is an "exit" it's probably not permanent.
