Am I missing some sarcasm in a desire to have fat shaming be the basis of comedy or the joke of an entire show? Or was that an actual lament?

All I can say is, as an overweight person, I did not find the comment funny at all.

I was a bit puzzled by that as well.

It was a rather odd thing to post.

Back to the topic at hand, Reba McEntire had a flop with "Malibu Country" post "Reba". It seems like she's found another hit with "Happy's Place".

Meredith Baxter's first hit was "Bridget Loves Bernie", but it was canceled due to backlash from Orthodox Rabbis over interfaith marriage being portrayed. Several bomb and death threats were made against the show.

Nell Carter did "You Take The Kids" with Roger E. Mosley (who I had a major crush on) and it was supposed to be the Black answer to Roseanne, but it only lasted 6 episodes. She went on to do two seasons of "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper".

Which is funny, because "Reba," "Malibu Country" and "Happy's Place" all feel like the same show to me, lol.
