Okay, then.

Have we ever covered Green Acres?

That's the place for me!

I don't think so.

But I love it. I think it's brilliant.

Farm living is the life for you?

I keep trying to get The Girl to understand that. Especially for it's time, it was ground breaking with breaking the fourth wall and poking fun at the premise itself.

Damn. Now I'm hungry for hots cakes.

I can't get her to appreciate Barney Miller or WKRP either.

I haven't gone back to Barney Miller so I don't know how it holds up, but how anyone can NOT like WKRP is beyond me.

Yeah. I think I can turn her. Like a little kid with food, she sometimes makes up her mind based on superficial things.

I remember when I first started watching WKRP. I didn't want to watch it because I thought Loni Anderson was a cheap knockoff of Farrah Fawcett, and the stoner character of Dr. Fever was too edgy for me. Then I started watching it, and my mind was quickly turned.

9 year old me had a HUGE crush on Bailey.

Who says boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses?

* fist bump *

Smart and/or competent brunette is still a big thing for me (ask my wife).

Did he just call his wife fat?

I didn't, but she isn't slim. More to love!

I've been rewatching Barney Miller on AntennaTV lately, and I'm finding it to actually be somewhat ahead of its time.
Of course there are going to be things that are dated, but overall I'd say it has withstood the test of time.

Yep. Competence is HOT.

Take an average looking girl, put her in a Jeep, instantly hotter. Put a snowboard rack on that Jeep; exponentially hotter. Put a hockey bag in the back and I might just spontaneously combust.

When I was in school to be a teacher, one of the profs was trying to put forth the myth of the underserved girl in education (A myth that, at the time, I believed.) She asked if we could name any women from history. No one raised their hand but me. I said Harriet Tubman. She searched around for someone else. Someone finally said Martha Washington, helping her prove her point. I said Joan Of Arc. After Rosa Parks and Amelia Earhart, she stopped calling on me and told me to stop raising my hand. Now who's underserved in education?

Anyway, later she trotted out, 'Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses.' I waited until after class to tell her that I find glasses as well as the intelligence mistakenly associated with them very attractive.

It probably has a lot to do with a combination of Bailey and Linda Carter as Diana Prince.
