My favorite Alice exchange, was when the group was talking about an upcoming wedding.
Mel: “Is the bride any good looking?”
Flo: “Mel, all brides are beautiful.”
Mel: “Then why are there so many ugly wives.”

Me too. That was back when you’d be able to watch shows like “Alice” and many others like that back then (including “Dukes of Hazzard”) with your parents and even grandparents in the living room as well.

Kind of like Larry Linville (Frank Burns on M*A*S*H)Right on the money with Larry Linville. I was his driver for a few days in the mid-80s, and you couldn't have met a nicer, more professional, funnier man. He seemed to know everything and had a particular interest in science. His mannerisms, especially that silly smirk, were the only things that were identical to his character on M*A*S*H.

Very rare in Hollywood, indeed.

Depends on the show. The early seasons of Bones were really excellent.
On one episode, there was this liberal do-gooder, project innocence true believer, who was trying to get a man on death row released, because the death penalty is evil. The main character says “No, in some cases it’s totally appropriate”. One episode the lab team was discussing God, and each character had a different point of view on God, when the atheist went to the head of the Smithsonian Science department to back her up, he said “Don’t look at me, I’m a deacon in my local church.”
There was even an episode with a devout Muslim terrorist who pretends to be Christian to commit a terrorist attack, and they even say point blank “He’s committing Taquiyya” and then explain what it is.

Her husband, actor Charles Kimbrough ...
Murphy Brown actor.
She was 1970s/1980s and he was 1980s/1990s and yet they were able to live together in peace.
An inspiration to us all.

As “Linda,” she tangled with Mary Richards over “Jack” (Bert Convy) on an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
RIP.

We had ladies and gentlemen back then on the TV shows.
Today many of them are druggies, sluts, wackos, and not very funny.

I watch very little current TV. I prefer old shows from the past. The old shows seems to have better plots, more in depth writing, much less pushing liberal causes in the programming, no bad language or suggestive situations or comments. Just my opinion.
At dinners and such I get "the look" from others when they find out I dumped cable about five years ago and don't watch current network or even Netflix shows. I detest the excessive violence, liberal preaching and shaky camera filming.
I do watch DVDs now and then, of movies I like or TV shows that are favorites. Some British stuff, some domestic stuff from the 50s through the 90s. It is my escapism, and I'll set the parameters. Maybe I'll pick up an Alice DVD some day.

wow. we find out months later, because she didnt want a general public announcement made. Well, was her choice. Her choice...but I find it kind of selfish.
Funerals and memorials aren't for the dead. They are for the living, that the dead have left behind.
For the living to grieve AND hopefully rejoice in the life they knew.
