55 years of television...

...and I want a dime for every time a woman over 18 is referred to as "the girl." Toss in movies, and I'll have more money than Bill Gates.

Agreed. And I'd also like money every time a 40+ year old male lead is paired up with a love interest two or more decades his junior. Ugh.

Even if I only took a nickel or penny at a time, I think I'd end up as rich as you...

Hi. I noticed that you have "The New Yorker" listed as an interest. I recently started a community for fans of the magazine. We'll be discussing articles in the magazine, as well as on the website, the authors, related events, etc. Feel free to join.

Wow! Thanks for the invite!

I did a survey of scholarship on The New Yorker for me Graduate Studies class my first year as a doc student. I wrote on the first 25 years of the magazine, but learned about its entire history anyway. I'm, um, kind of a geek about it. *blush*

Will definitely join the comm. Thanks so, so much for asking.

You're welcome. Thanks for joining the community. Finding out about the history sounds like a great project.
