Holy crap. I just got a message on Facebook from a half-sister who I think I met once at my grandfather's funeral when I was like ten.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow
Dude. Which half?
Was it here that people were talking about the sitcom documentary? I'm watching it now, and just got to the part where Bill Cosby was talking about All In The Family. In addition to saying that Archie Bunker never apologized for anything, he also said that he doesn't think anyone ever learned anything from that show. To begin with, I think he's wrong about that, but also, is "Do people learn from it?" really the measure of sitcoms?
Maybe at one time, but not since "Seinfeld".
My dad was married right out of high school and had three kids, but aside from meeting them once or twice - literally once or twice - there was never really any contact. I know their names and virtually nothing else about them. Did not see that coming.
wow

There's also the question of what did people learn from The Cosby Show. Apparently we were supposed to be highly enlighted by having a black dentist and a black lawyer appearing in our living rooms. I don't remember being that surprised at the idea of black professionals.
sara!! Call me so we can try to meet up. I'll have my cell (of course).
The geniuses at the foundation want me to take a cab from BWI to Crystal City. hahahahahah.
Ahem.
Brooklyn was exotic to me at the time. But I was like, eleven, from bumfuck, Arizona. I hope my experience was not the typical one. I'm sad to say I find Cosby sanctimonious and annoying now, however.
