    Then tell your gf that Stoney said she could fuck off with that noise.

    But I'll let you deal with her ensuing reaction.

    I'm pulling for CK.

    I'm also trying to find a T-shirt with that printed on it. Worked for Pee Wee.

    He pulls himself, no need for you to do it.

    The cosby show is,quietly, back on, one of those lower channels I think. I resent him , aside for what he did, for putting such a stink on that show. When it first came out it was a surprise that a black couple could be a lawyer and a doctor. Groundbreaking and a quality show. I love to show the kid in my life old time television and would have loved to show them this one.

    oop, I think it's like I said earlier, I think on this thread. A lot of the same feelings went down with Penn State. And it comes down to a matter of the individual. Yes, it was uncomfortable to watch them for awhile. But at what point do you separate the act from the artist? Everyone has their own line.

    I think part of it is how the person presented himself or how others presented the person. Paterno encouraged this view of him as the guy who doesn't just win, he does it the right way. That clearly wasn't true. The culture there was so polluted, it was important to tear everything down. Too many of the faithful refused to admit as much, so the backlash lasted longer.

    That wasn't just one bad person, or one man covering for one bad person. It was many people looking the other way in the case of despicable acts. Sexually abusing children is whole other level of awful.

    Of course, that is just my opinion. I understand why you have felt defensive over this in the past.

    Yeah, I loved George, good example of a hard working black man in the 70's.

    Just finished the season 4 binge. So good.

    He and Adlon had some serious fucking chemistry.

    I noticed that any reference to Louis and his production companies were scrubbed from the credits at the end of season 2 of Better Things. I really hope that show continues because Adlon is amazing.
