HR Puff and Stuff. Now there was a waste of children's television even in reruns.

Wonder if they are mentioned in that data base?

I think it's even worse in commercials. The male, father or not and regardless of his race, is almost always a feckless idiot.

The worst I can recall was an ad for cell phones where Dad had gotten everyone in the family a fone so that they could stay in touch.

His kids and wife reacted to him and this notion of keeping in touch like he had five heads.

Of course, they happily accepted the fones that idiot Dad had paid for.

You, like me, were thinking about Jane Wyman, the first Mrs. Reagan. She's still going at 92.

Jane Wyatt was Spock's human mom Amanda on Star Trek, last seen in Star Trek IV (the whales film).

Not dead, Wyman is seemingly still alive at 92.
