That's great. Hey here's another reason for you to not watch ANYTHING on CBS again I saw this on the Boortz site this morning. It's enough to make me stop watching the Cheers re-runs too.

"Last night I found myself in the unusual situation of actually watching some network television. When I turned the TV on it was tuned to some sitcom starring Ted Dansen. Well, I used to like Cheers and the writing seemed decent so I decided to give it a thought for a moment or two. Evidently Dansen plays a doctor. During one scene he is handing some teenage kid a bag of condoms. The kid tells Dansen’s character he isn’t really concerned about HIV because, after all, they have some sort of a cocktail that can cure that stuff. Dansen tells the kid that he’s reached a level of stupidity usually reserved for “Republicans and other lower primates.”

That was it. Changed channels … and won’t go back. Just an insipid gratuitous attack by another Hollywood leftie. The show is supposed to be for comedic entertainment, not political posturing. So … so long Ted." -

No wonder they call it Hollyweird.

'republicans and other lower primates.'

That's low even for CBS.

Yeah, I haven't watched Danson's post-Cheers efforts because, (a) they suck and, (b) he sucks. Once I found out about his far-left leanings, I couldn't even stand to watch Cheers reruns. Pretty soon we'll be down to Schwartzenegger and Chuck Heston.

I saw/heard the Danson character's trashing Republicans. The writers are in danger of being indicted for grand larceny for stealing from every noble loner, humanitarian doc, cop, reporter,teacher, caregiver sitcom for the past twenty years. The characters are physically unattractive, I mean really repellent, and that includes Danson whose toupee and plastic surgery are almost as frightening as his vacant-eyed dumbness.

There is no dialogue recognizable as moving a plot forward, only prurient one-liners. There is slapstick with a woman in underwear or nightclothes climbing through Danson character's window after locking herself out of her apartment. This is repeated many times presumably to help
dense Republicans recognize sophisticated stage-craft when they see it.

This show is simply awful. There is even a "Happy Days in Slumville" diner where the characters meet and overhear phone conversations they misinterpret as sexual and then there is much sniggering, eyerolling, mugging, really embarrassing. Having a child become a paid assassin would be preferable to having him stumbling through this squalid and socially worthless mess.

The paste and scissors crew who slap this thing together (that they actually sit around writing it is simply beyond belief) probably have a dim comprehension that this crappola will not be watched by Repuplicans, even those who were formerly Democrats and so not highly evolved intellectually, so they can safely insult them.

Whew. Even the production values are dreary. Seedy chic. Ugh.
