Re: Futurama. BK, this is Portlander Matt Groening's followup series to The Simpsons. While not quite in that league, it does have some clever moments, and is excellently voiced by, among others, Katey Sagal (have you ever heard her CD, BTW? It's quite good).
Re: worst song. I guess I must be dating myself (no mean feat), but I cannot believe people are naming "Michelle" and "The Shadow of Your Smile." Since most of you know I love Sergio Mendes (musically speaking, of course, not that there's anything wrong with that), I will name a really hideous little song he recorded during his disco phase--"You Get Your Love From Me." Chances are, you've never heard it. Consider yourselves lucky.
And, finally: da-da-da-da-da-da (ba-ba-ba-ba-ba). Why, you may ask, am I humming the Entertainment Tonight theme? As I emailed JR yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to get a very nice email yesterday from none other than Leonard Maltin, who is interested in my Frances Farmer research! I am hoping Mr. Maltin will help get the word out about this much maligned actress. Remember, you read Shedding Light on Shadowland here first (or at least had the link here first!)
