Y'all have me wondering how I can work "HOOKERS & BLOW!" into the meeting I'm running tomorrow morning.

Yell "Hookers and blow!" then say, "I just wanted to make sure you were listening."

It wasn't like Sheen said a lot of sane and reasonable things, and then there was this one slur. He said Lorre was a piece a shit, that the concept of addiction was for sissies, and kept insisting he was clean while sounding like a lunatic.

Mel Gibson is working in a movie Jodie Foster's directing, last I heard.

That and another movie were filmed before the tapes came out last summer. Since then... he was going to have a cameo in The Hangover 2 but the cast balked.

Thrive to spite them

Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy tonight? I was flipping channels and missed why the lung transplant guy had to break up with his girlfriend.

Gibson's new movie doesn't sound normal -s omethign about a guy who only communicates with a beaver hand puppet. I mean he had the puppet doing the talking. Plus Jodi Foster has been defending Gibson which I don't get at all.

I feel bad for the rest of the cast and crew on Two and Half Men, I don't think there's anyway they can get rid of Sheen and still have the show go on.

I don't think there's anyway they can get rid of Sheen and still have the show go on.

I guess you didn't see that season of Laverne and Shirley without Shirley. Or the recasting of Darren on Bewitched. Or The Hogan Family (where they lost the title character).

Chuck Lorre has said he's not interested in turning the show into One and a Half Men. (Also, that show has kind of run its course. The kid is like 17 now.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't think either of those was created as a Cindy Williams or Dick Whichever vehicle.

The Hogan Family comes closer, but I don't know if Valerie Harper had quite the same Q score as Charlie that long after Rhoda.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm just saying, don't underestimate Hollywood's interest in milking a successful show no matter what the circumstances.

Laverne and Shirley was half a Cindy Williams vehicle. It was a huge hit when she went on salary-strike.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I guess you didn't see that season of Laverne and Shirley without Shirley. Or the recasting of Darren on Bewitched. Or The Hogan Family (where they lost the title character).

Or Welcome Back Kotter, that was a weird one.

P-C, thanks for reminding me to contact Comcast. Just got $25 knocked off my bill for the next 6 months. When it goes up again I may switch to the new Digital Economy.

Nah, Laverne was always the money. That show was created by Gary Marshall to showcase Cindy Marshall. The casting of her buddy was incidental from the start.

They might TRY to go on without Charlie for a while if they think they can make money at it, but the show has pretty much run its course as it is.
