“Hot Lips, you incredible nincompoop that’s the end of the quarter!”
Back to School - I Don’t Take S*** From No One: Diane (Sally Kellerman) helps Thornton (Rodney Dangerfield) remember and interpret a poem during his oral exam.

You mean when it became The Alan Alda Show.
The actual death of a person with dementia may be caused by another condition. They are likely to be frail towards the end. Their ability to cope with infection and other physical problems will be impaired due to the progress of dementia. In many cases death may be hastened by an acute illness such as pneumonia.
It affects & damages the involuntary portion of the brain also. It can be a long process or in the case of a Stroke it can happen in a very few short months.
Sure you can! As long as the White guy is the brunt of all the jokes.
Yep.
“Vonnegut,you’re fired!”

How true. After the best cast members left it truly became Alda’s show and very Leftist. I only watch the first 3 seasons, hate the rest especially the character of BJ Hunnicut and Col. Potter wasn’t far behind.
Exactly - I’ve seen reruns of the show and I thought the movie was okay.
