- Oh give me a break Beth <and you too Terri>. What have we been getting
- all these years but history according to Don, Deborah, Tommy and the others.
- And I can't believe you are giving so much creedance to an article by
- a known jerk like Ken Tucker in a sleazy magazine like Entertainment
- Weekly. Last year he put QL on his worst TV list too - sure made NBC
- cancel it then, didn't he? And you know, I think one of the episodes he
- blasted last year was Shock Theater. You give a damn about this guy's
- opinion?!!
-
- And speaking of opinions, what's wrong with Don using HIS show to voice
- his opinion about the JFK assassination? Using that logic, I should go
- tell off Oliver Stone for the backassward opinions he gave us in HIS
- movie JFK. When you have your own TV show or movie, you can use it to tell
- us how you believe it happened too. Almost all forms of entertainment give
- us the opinion of the guy in charge in some way. Star Trek gave us
- Gene Roddenberry's opinions, the Muppets gave us Jim Hensen's world view.
- You can disagree with the opinion, but it's the right of the producer
- to give it too.
-
- I may be in a minority here, but yes, I did enjoy LHO. And the Leap Back
- too. And I thank Don every week for going with a relatively unknown
- actor with two TV flops behind him when some other producer might have
- gone with a name star to play Sam instead.
-
- I've kept silent about the Don bashing until now, but sorry, I just
- couldn't take it anymore.
-
- Flame off.
