Betty White was married to Alan Ludden.  Bill Cullen hosted many game shows including Child's Play, Blockbusters, Hot Potato and was part of the panel on I've Got a Secret.

I regret the error.

A small-town crime boss (Margo Martindale) takes in four wayward orphans, raising them in the back of her front business, a cozy little bakery. She teaches them all about the inner workings of her criminal empire, imparts her lifetime of hard-won street-smart wisdom, and shares with them.... The Facts Of Life.

Showtime presents The Brady Bunch.

Serial monogamist/"black widow" Carol Ann Tyler Martin (Naomi Watts) meets her match in Mike Brady, Florida land developer and real estate scam king (Luke Evans). They alternate between late night philosophical conversations while screwing, and War of the Roses-style attempts to off one another and collect on the multiple life insurance policies they've taken out on each other while on family vacations to theme parks, the Grand Canyon, etc.

After Marcia, a quarterback on her high school's football team, is disfigured in an accident, Greg nurses her back to health (and then some) in a Flowers In The Attic homage. Jan is slipping into schizophrenia with three inner voices (Marcia, Marcia and Marcia). Cindy retreats from her mother's emotional abuse into childish lisping and confesses everything to Kitty Karryall. Peter's voice changes lead him to acknowledge his true gender identity as Petra, whose tastes in clothing run to noir femme fatale with the catchphrase "pork chops and applesauce." Bobby invents an imaginary cousin, Oliver, who tells him to do Very Bad Things...


FX presents Love Lucy!

Raúl Esparza plays struggling Cuban musician Ric Ricardo, who meets Lucy McGillicuddy (Judy Greer) at an open mic night. She agrees to enter into a green card marriage, and all is well until her bipolar disorder begins to make itself known. Refusing to seek treatment, her manic episodes interfere with Ric's plans to open a club -- where she imagines she can finally Be In The Show.

HBO brings you Bewitched.

A modern adaptation of Macbeth. Rachel Bloom plays Samantha Stevens, sorceress of the dark arts, who enslaves media strategist Darrin (Justin Bartha). Donna Lynne Champlin plays next door neighbor and conspiracy-theorist-blogger Gladys Kravitz of the Kravitz Report (at kravitz dot tumblr dot com) who sees satanic messages in media everywhere, and sees the Mark of the Beast on Samantha. Samantha manipulates events so that Darrin's self-involved boss Larry rises to become a reality star, with Darrin calling all the shots (under Samantha's control.) Louise Tate discovers Samantha's plan and tries to stop the madness, while Larry rises to the presidency. Of course, THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN.

My biggest problem with Hollywood Game Night is when the contestants don't take the game seriously, so I made a team exclusively made of hypercompetitive know-it-all tryhards.

Peggy Hill from King of the Hill, Monica Gellar from Friends, Abed Nadir from Community. Abed isn't quite as competitive as the other two, but he'd definitely take the game seriously, and also he knows everything about pop culture, which seems like it would be helpful.

I may be the only one who thought "Lovejoy" was the two-syllable answer for "McShane."  What can I do?  Haven't seen any Deadwood or GoT, and early formative A&E experiences die hard.  Back when A&E was trying to be PBS lite and so anything British was axiomatically good quality.

I know that I wasn't the only one to think "Dan Bern?" for "big balls."  (Sometimes I wish I were Tiger Woods.  But not lately...)

Dear Leah,

Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series was TOTALLY a thing.

Sincerely,
A Fellow 1980's Baby

Someone told me that on Twitter but as her sister I know for a fact that Leah did not know about it.

Charlotte "Chuck" Charles (Pushing Dasies), Annie Edison (Community), and the ringer Data (Star Trek: TNG). Chuck spent her life reading books while living with her shut-in "Aunts",  Adderall Annie will keep the team focused, and Data can download all the useless trivia.

I would go with "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver". Giving voice on issues like Immigration reform, Incarceration in the United States, Payday loans, Student debt, Civil Asset Forfeiture, Flint water crisis, or Debt buying industry would hopefully create some compassion for people being crushed by these systems.

I would do a new Flintstones cartoon based on the new currently running comic, which is pure genius, and if anyone was paying attention would likely not be published by DC comics. Issues have covered topics like consumerism (they refer to it as getting crap), this crazy new idea called monogamy (One man and one woman, that's just crazy!), and genocide (the poor tree people).

I would want it to look like the art from the comic, and not have sound-a-likes form the show, from the art they seem more realistic (and often confused).

Here is an example of the humor...

Haha Abed and Monica were on my short list. Gotta think of a good one that doesn't have them now...

My team: Jane from Happy Endings and Jake and Amy from Brooklyn Nine Nine

I've also noticed that the weekend Law & Order marathons have been *very* pointed over the past few months. In particular, like maybe a week after the Access Hollywood tapes were released, the Sunday SVU-athon was entirely devoted to women in abusive relationships (including the ep. with Claire from 90210 getting stabbed in the heart, which was so, so sad.) NBC may be wussing out on the new Trump-isode, but those in charge of programming the syndicated episodes are doing great work. Keep it up!

I was just thinking that perhaps they should stop running that "I am not a crackpot" clip in case the current President decides to take up Grandpa Simpson on his request and decides he's had enough of that bunch of pinkos in California. But keep the Red flag flying Tara!

If I was going to submit an episode of Scrubs it would be either My Old Lady (for a real tearjerker) or My Princess for the fantastical (though also a bit of a tearjerker). Surprised that there are (at present) NO episodes of Scrubs in the Canon - maybe I should submit one of those two!

I was amazed that despite only having seen maybe 3 episodes of Benson, that I actually recognised one of those plots!

It's like the Canon has been reading my mind but then going in a different direction the last two weeks. For months I've been thinking about submitting either an episode of Catastrophe or an episode of Scrubs, but in both cases it was not what the submitter went with. For Scrubs, I would have gone with the Brendan Frasier episode. As Kim Reed mentioned, it's kind of a gimmick episode, but I think it actually does a great job showing what Scrubs is about - a mix of humor and at times gut punching sadness. On a similar note, I would have picked season 1, episode 4 of Catastrophe - it's the episode where Rob and Sharon find out that the baby is at an increased risk of Down Syndrome and Sharon Horgan puts in a particularly heart-wrenching and thought-provoking performance. Sorry to dredge up last week in this comment thread, I was behind in listening and then it also struck me funny that the Canon submissions matched up with shows I had thought about submitting for two weeks in a row. If next week's submission is Brooklyn 99's "The Party," I am going to be really creeped out.
