Cotina’s more progressive than I thought.</i><br /><br />Haaaaaaaaahahahaha<br /><br />Seriously, if this episode had ended in the Thunderdome you couldn't have kept me from watching it every day for three years straight. Then cosplaying every character. Then writing fanfic. Then being found hiding behind the Oreos at Kroger and sent to a nice soft facility...<br /><br />Eh, I guess I'm just a little irked at how the writers specifically had the characters note Verna needed to be involved in the choice but then had Buck make the choice anyway. At least we won't have a lot of little Bucklettes (Buckles? Bucklings?) running around.<br /><br />I've always thought it was interesting that Doris ends up in an urban setting in three (I think it's three) seasons when this show really should have been part of the rural purge going on at CBS. Wonder what gave it another chance when other shows didn't get one? Well, I guess Glen Campbell (patooie) stayed on the air until 1972 IIRC, but part of that was because he had rock guests on, I'm sure. (I would have loved to know what Glen's audiences thought of that Neil Diamond "Soolaimon" segment in '71. There must have been panic in the 'burbs.)<br /><br />One of these days I'm going to get the Semple reference. Today is not that day, but it will happen.

Hopefully, the combination of Easton, Fimple, and Sues (sounds like a law firm!) will outweigh the inanities from Leroy!Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com
