Tonight, we watched the episode of "Still Standing," that Paul Waters in lalaland had posted as a must-see on one of the e-lists. It was forwarded on ad nauseum from there to other lists.

I know Paul did this on purpose, knowing what was in store.

Besides seeing a 2006 version of Sally Struthers that bore every resemblance to a BLOATED aged, drug-ridden Shelly Winters in Poseidon Adventure, the 'square dancing' portion was probably the most negative stereotype of the activity I've ever seen. A high school wimp of a boy was forced to take lessons as a punishment for failing a gym class.

I've never heard of that TV series before. And I'd never watch it again, mostly because of the terrible 1980s style acting and the absolute non-family feel of this family.

Thanks, Hollywood. Thanks, Paul.

on the plus side, the sputtering on the callerlist should be quite amusing. We should start a betting pool for when the first post that changes the subject to square dance atire comes across the listserve...
