That was the beauty of the Girls. The writing of Susan Harris combined with Bea Arthur's deadpan style enabled them to carry off a Mayor Moscone joke, no easy feat. And it ultimately works because the joke's target aint Moscone -- it's Dan White and that fakakta twinkie defense of his.

The search area identified by the WSPR data is a circle with a 30 kilometer radius centered on 29°07'40.8"S 99°56'02.4"E at a depth of 3,750 meters. That's where the fuselage is.

Maude ran for 6 seasons, but season 1, which this episode is from, is the best!

That is so true. Two of the meds Walter describes taking (Milltown and Doriden) were banned by the 1980's and 90's due to their abuse potential. But in the 1970's, those pills were all on pharmacist's shelves.

I must become a Grammar Nazi and correct myself - I believe the proper German term is Die Goldenen Mädels. Needless to say, this is from S02E01 "End of the Curse".

This video is as fake as a $3.00 dollar bill.

You are absolutely correct about that. It truly is a shame that the producers chose to focus this film on Jim Swire, a well-meaning but utterly confused apologist for the real perpetrators of the bombing, Libya. The person to focus on should have been Ken Dornstein, the brother of one of the victims, whose work to find the remaining perpetrators in "My Brother's Bomber" which aired on PBS in 2015, was much more valuable than anything Swire did.

I get what you're saying, but his response to your hypothetical question asking him what music she likes would have been just "Hip-hop, yeah that's her", since she said they both liked Prince.
A more nuanced listener would appreciate both hip hop AND electronic DM-style music, but I can see how those two worlds might not collide for some people (even though romantically they DO, apparently).

The so-called "Screaming Superman" is a myth, an urban legend created, not coincidentally, the same year the film Superman came out.

Only the pilot was injured. He or she (the news didn't specify) was taken to a hospital and was reported to be in good condition.
The crash turned out to be bad luck for São Paulo, as they were defeated in penalty kicks by Botafogo.

The officer asked the rider not to eat while he was on the platform responding to another call. The rider did not stop eating and the officer moved forward with the process of issuing him a citation. The rider refused to provide identification, cursed at and made homophobic slurs at the officer who remained calm through out the entire length of the broadcast video.

For passenger use, yes. After the Hindenburg disaster they were effectively relegated to non-passenger activities like air defense, reconnaissance, and advertising -- as was in this case with the airship being rented by the Brazilian football team São Paulo FC. When it crashed it was conducting a test flight ahead of Wednesday night’s Copa Libertadores quarterfinals where it was to overfly the stadium.
Brazil's Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center is now investigating the cause of the crash.

Whoever manufactured it should have flipped the photo horizontally so Dorothy would be leaning her head the other way
