Good God, I remember all that, and the nonsense that ensued. But it was a great show, with many landmark moments.
I had forgotten that but I remember a few priceless things that were said on that show. I do indeed.
Benson was my favorite character on the show. It was fun to watch.
I always wanted to wave my hands back and forth, and seem invisible too.
This may sound really odd, but I remember wondering why some of my family made fun of Jodie.
