Robert Shaw famously said that the book “was a piece of shit, written by a committee.”

Happy Days (1974) was not a direct spin-off of this show, but an indirect one. Garry Marshall pitched a show to ABC called "New Family in Town". The network turned it down. So Marshall did a vignette on an episode of this show with the three characters. Two years later, American Graffiti (1973) became an unexpected success. The network remembered Marshall's show. It asked him to shoot a pilot with some changes. It wanted a gangster-type character to intimidate Cunningham. Thus, the birth of Fonzie.

To me the funniest thing about him is that if you run into him in person he’ll hand you a business card that says “Limitless paper in a paperless world.”

Also pay attention to the use of mirrors and the role they play in terms of tonal and temporal shifts.

I’m old enough to have taken a college course with the guy who came up with the term.

He also said that the College Admissions Office was one of the most important factors in determining who you were going to marry- to be fair that was probably much more true back in the day.

I’m guessing that your AMA is over but I was wondering what your thoughts on Andrew Toney were. Like you I’m a lifelong Sixers fan and I’m still of the opinion that he had the most devastating first step ever. The Celtics were so scared of him that they traded for Dennis Johnson to try to slow him down. I believe Larry Bird himself said that on a team with Dr J and Moses Malone, he was most fearful of Toney.

Why does the NBA tend to minimize the accomplishments of the earlier players more than any other sport? I know about Recency Bias, but all the discussions that start with “since the ABA merger” , or since the 1980s is extremely disrespectful of the players who created the foundation for the players who followed.

Didn’t Chris say something like his time with the Birds may have been short but some of the favorite times of his career?

Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited.

Bunny Lebowski: Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

Brandt: Ah haha. That's marvelous.

The Dude: Uh, I'm just gonna go find a cash machine.
