TVLand is a gift, ambrosia of the gods. When nothing else is on, you can always count on TVLand for a laugh, whether from I Love Lucy (which I adore) or Leave it to Beaver. The Brady Bunch, I can take or leave, but I would be the last person to mock. I am, after all, a fan of the Beverly Hillbillies.

I love you for this! (Among many other reasons!) Thank you!

Transcendental Ironization? Now that would sound impresssive to some folk, wouldn't it?

oh, i love the bradys -- but i love TVLand for bringing back batman, even more. god, those old batmans are just awesome - the colors, the innocent double entendres, the *colors* man.

TVLand rocks.

It doesn't merely approach, Don. It transcends.

Jodi, Jodi, Jodi...that's all I hear. I hate being a middle blogger! :(

Using the concept of being in a coma combined with a reference to predictability in a comment about the Brady Bunch must approach some form of high irony!

Congratulations for whatever it was that just happened.

You know that I mean that in only the kindest, most loving way.

Miss Lawrence was borne of my pre-adolescent vision of what Marcia Brady would look like when she grew up (although with auburn hair).

The little contradictions and inconsistencies are what make a personality dynamic. Predictability is about as much fun as lapsing into a coma, which, my sources tell me, isn't all it's cracked up to be.

People who say they don't watch really bad TV, at least on occasion, are liars. And those who claim, "I only watch PBS and the Discovery channel" can go hang themselves by their ascots.

Jodi, dear, I worry about you some times.

Really, now I can't get that insipid, "I think I'll go for a walk outside now . . . " out of my head.

Heads will roll for this one!

Brady Bunch?

How can Miss Lawrence even coexist with this?

What's next? Gilligan's Island?

I'll try to not let this get in the way of our obviously otherwise budding relationship, Jodi.
