… that chick off WKRP…Jan Smithers…
I simply don’t get the ageing process. Some folks age like fine wine and some… not so much. Doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. Jan did okay, I guess. I personally believe that the Hollywood Sitcom peaked with WKRP - with possibly SOAP as a runner-up… but whadda I know?
I stream all my TV now. Does Hollywood even do sitcoms anymore?
Man with a Plan, starring Matt LeBlanc (Joey from Friends) is pretty good if you like that sort of thing. Of course it's already 7-8 years old and already off the air. You can stream re-runs. Stacy Keach is absolutely fucking funny in it. Otherwise I can't really find anything new worth watching.
ReplyDeleteRoger that! SOAP was fairly over the edge and funny, for the time. Hind sight is not kind, now that I know ALL of the Network "entertainMINT" was just part of the "Agenda" to degrade the Wests morals and ethics, to numb (condition) us for the degeneracy. Well, here it is, it's NORMALIZED Degeneracy now.

They do sitcoms but they are no longer funny, its just a half hour of propaganda and white male bashing.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't watch tv in a decade but got stuck in camp last Feb and couldn't sleep, so turned on the tv. 80 channels of crap., did eventually find an episode of Gilligan's island

I'm in the youth of my old age and aim to stay fit as possible. I just quit the boos and have drastically reduced my small cigar consumption. Two weeks in and I feel wonderful! As far as old women go, so long as they aren't moonbats and take care of themselves it's otay by me.

I developed a very low tollerance for abuse pretty early. Laugh tracks are abusive. If they have to tell me when to laugh, I'm not their demographic. By 12 or so, had me a policy: No sitcoms, no soap operas, no game shows. I backslid alot.
ReplyDeleteJan looks good for her age. The way a 74 year old should look. Now take Courtney Cox, Meg Ryan or Melanie Griffith; what will they look like at 74? Or the countless other hollyweird females that are trying to defy the age of time. I personally think men age better than woman. Sean Connery, Robert Duvall, Christopher Plummer, Michael Caine, Clint Eastwood. Maybe they've had some nip & tuck, but they still look normal.
ReplyDeleteSome of them age like fine wine, and some of them like warm milk.
ReplyDeleteI've found that the best way to watch the sitcoms is with the sound muted and the captions on. The laugh track is just too annoying otherwise, as if the producers all had PBA.
Looking at Kelly McGinnis now I see why she wasn't in Top Gun Maverick.
