Author Kat Rosenfeld thinks we should honor "grumpy old men" like Otto Penzler even if they've spent the last few decades saying & doing really offensive, stupid things. What do you think?

This scene in Sue Ann's bedroom from the Mary Tyler Moore show absolutely destroyed me the first time I saw it. It still does. Here's my favorite snippet.

Today is our 33rd wedding anniversary. I met Valerie when she was a tourist in Los Angeles, visiting from France, and I offered to show her around. I am still doing it 35 years later. Should I be worried that she still hasn't unpacked her suitcases?

This is so true. Desi Arnaz was a genius. And Paramount pretty much owes its existence today to Desi & Lucille Ball. Without Desilu, they wouldn't have the multi-billion dollar MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and STAR TREK franchises to keep them afloat.
Heard this last night on

and it was worth finding online to share.
FASCINATING half-hour segment on how Cuban (sorry, have to brag!) Desi Arnez changed the television industry and created everything from 're-runs' to 'syndication'.
