For the record now, bon is now two for two on comedy pimpage to me (30 Rock, Archer).
Parks and Rec is next!
Also, Archer was renewed for a second season, so that's good.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also Holland Taylor, Hec.
Definitely the same flavor, though her career doesn't ping me going all the way back to the sixties like Jessica Walter and Diana Muldaur (who was Maria Muldaur's sister in law, as it turns out.)

It cracks me up that back on Bosom Buddies they did a flash forward episode where all the characters were in old age makeup except Holland Taylor's, who looked exactly the same. And now it's decades later and she really does look exactly the same!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I love Holland Taylor and more than a little bit I want to be her when I grow up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I remember her from Bosom Buddies, but really became fond of her on that show she did with Tea Leoni.
I miss Tea Leoni on my TV.

They tended to play the same kind of characters: smart, patrician, a bit icy, slightly dangerous.
More than slightly in the case of Play Misty for Me.
Her imdb listings from the 70s is like a cop/detective show history lesson.

I miss her, period. Apart from Flirting with Disaster, her film career has been pretty meh.

She's good in Ghost Town, which I recommend.

That show was good....even though the name escapes me. Jessica Walter could have also played the Grandma part on "Gilmore Girls"(I have no idea if this is literally true...I only know Entourage/AU Hollywood that well) but that is one part where two very different actors...Walter and Kelly Bishop, sort of remind me of each other.
