[camom]

New topic Maherjunkie?

[Maherjunkie]

Uhh...Politics?  Local, global, women's rights, etc?  We can reassess if we run out of gas.

[camom]

Let's give it a try.

 

A is for Age Discrimination, which Rose faced when looking for a job.

[LilWharveyGal]

[Blakeston]

[babyhouseman]

I is for Immigration which was an issue in the Mario Lopez show.

[Cherpumple]

J is for Michael Jackson, whose jacket was the catalyst for the terrible homeless-awareness episode.

[Maherjunkie]

K is for Kessler, who only pretended to have an affair with Blanche.

[LilWharveyGal]

Q is for quota, which you have to have a certain amount of to run a herring circus.

[LilWharveyGal]

R is for Republican, which was Big Daddy's political affiliation.

[Blakeston]

S is for Same-sex marriage. On a serious note, I give this show so much credit for dealing with the issue in 1991, when so few shows were acknowledging it in any way.

[Maherjunkie]

T is for Tunder the Tiger, who mirrors Marilyn Quayle's feelings toward her husband. 

[Maherjunkie]

So agree Blakeston.  Y is for not being fun under the old Yak skin, which were grounds for divorce.

[Blakeston]

Z is for Zoophilia, which is presumably what was going on between Uncle Gino and the goat he legally adopted.

 

Maybe next we could do our favorite moments?

 

A is for when the Air Force major asked Dorothy if it was Mrs. Zbornak or Miss Zbornak, causing Dorothy to do her "sexy" walk across the room - and then revealed that he was hoping it was Miss Zbornak because he'd already checked off that box on his form.

 

(I love that not only was his relief about not having to change the form, but also that he just assumed that she was single.)

[babyhouseman]

B is for Bom, Bom from them singing Mr. Sandman.

[LilWharveyGal]

C is for Chester on camera two. "Share with me, Chester."  *wink*

[Maherjunkie]

E is for Eduardo the hairdresser.  I still burst out laughing at the reveal of their makeovers.

[LilWharveyGal]

F is for Fidel's Funeral.

 

"He made me feel attractive and desireable again.  He probably made the rest of you feel that way, too.  And looking out at this kennel club that was no small accomplishment!"

 

"I'm leaving.  I'm not about to mourn a man who's been with every woman in this room."

"He was never with me!"

... "I guess even he had his standards."

[Bastet]

G is for Rose's telling of the Great Herring War, which kept the women from going their separate ways.

 

Betty White deserves a special award for pulling that off without breaking character.

[Blakeston]

H is for the Heating pad exchange:

 

"Dorothy, where's my heating pad?"

"How should I know?"

"Well if this isn't it, I'd like to know what other electrical appliance you're using under that blanket."

[Aja]

I is for intrauterine.

 

Miami...you're cuter than...an intrauterine....
