I couldn't name the greatest living TV writer, either, ita...you have some good choices, but I'd also add Steven Bochco and legends like Norman Lear and Sam Simon.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Maybe he was a wonderfully nice man. But my sisters and I would run from the room when he was on. Maybe we were too evil for him.
edit: And this was when we were of an age to watch him, three of us with a few years between us all. Independent opinions, as far as I know, unless my oldest sisters indoctrinated me and I don't remember.

My mom found Mr. Rogers creepy, so I didn't watch the show, but all this stuff is just making me cry. What a lovely man!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Lots of protein, good eatin'.
Right, sorry, that wasn't helpful. What a crappy thing to have to deal with.

I'm sure that Mandii came up with that spelling on her own. Well, I hope she did.

I make no judgements on the man himself. The face on the TV and that slow, insidious voice, on the other hand . . .

I liked it when I was a little kid...I can't imagine why, now, but his commitment to preschoolers always struck me as the real deal and I think that makes him special. I'm also incredibly sad that I won't get Thurber on Fridays anymore(speaking of things you wouldn't think you'd like, but you did.)

Yeah, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was something my brothers and I watched when we were small. He didn't creep us out.
