Thanks, sarameg!
And my folks seem to have become much more TV aware since I moved to LA. I'm assuming that's my influence but it's still a little disconcerting when my mom says stuff like, "Could they shop it around to other networks?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Too many My Three Sons re-runs at an impressionable age.
Of course, but that's at least half the joy of watching the Wilderene sleaze. It's all "I can't believe Dad would do those things!!"

Huh, I'm of two minds, either C MacMurray or M him. Both to do with My Three Sons. C because "daddy figure," ewww. M because he was still young enough to ping my, oooh, he's not bad for an older guy.

Oh and thanks SailAweigh and Jesse!

Imagines Kristen in flapper wear chain-smoking and tossing back drinks in a Prohibition-era speakeasy...
