Yesterday we lost one of our most versatile performers ever! Cloris Leachman had a career spanning over 7 decades in stage, film and television. She won various accolades, including eight Primetime Emmy Awards from 22 nominations, making her the most nominated and, along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, most awarded actress in Emmy history. In addition, she won an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Daytime Emmy Award. I chose a pic from one of my all time favorite movies, Young Frankenstein (1974), directed by the legendary Mel Brooks! RIP Frau Blücher!

isfjmel-phleg asked:

Top 5 animated and/or live-action TV series?

fictionadventurer answered:

Top 5 Animated Shows:

1. Animaniacs: This was my childhood. We watched videos of it constantly. Such sharp humor, good characters, amazing animation, excellent songs.

2. Recess: This was also my childhood. The top-level slice-of-life children’s cartoon. Loved its down-to-earth school plots, over-the-top setting, sharp humor and memorable characters. I’d love to watch it again and see what references I missed as a kid.

3. Arthur: Also my childhood. (Seriously, this top three gives you a pretty good idea of my formative influences). The first 100 episodes are uniformly pretty amazing (give me a quote, and there’s a very good chance I’ll know the episode and the exact intonation it should be delivered in), everything after that is much lower quality.

4. Phineas and Ferb: Sharp writing that shows just what wonders can be created by sticking to a strict, strict formula. That framework is the skeleton that supports so much off-the-wall humor and outlandish plot.

5. Kim Possible: Hilarious spy-fi fun with good characters and outlandish worldbuilding.

Top 5 Live-Action Shows:

1. The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Top-tier character-based comedy. I own all the seasons (even though I haven’t watched all of them because halfway through Season Six I realized that I was going to run out of episodes soon and stopped).

2. Doctor Who: This was my major fandom for so many years. So much scope for the imagination and excellent characters.

3. Psych: Utterly hilarious. Combines character, mystery and comedy better than anything else out there.

4. Corner Gas: Newest thing (to me) on the list. It’s low-key absurd, slice-of-life rural humor. I’m always amazed at the tiny things they can create plots out of, and the different dynamics created by pairing different sets of these weirdos together.

5. Cheers: Look, there is an awful lot of Not Good Content here, but the characters are excellent (except for Rebecca) and the ensemble humor can’t be beat.

why The Mary Tyler Moore Show is so important

the mary tyler moore show was a television show that ran for most of the 1970s. the show was so successful, it ran for seven years and produced three spinoffs: rhoda, phyllis, and lou grant. the show pushed social boundaries in the 1970s and played a large role in the feminist movement.

mary richards moved to minneapolis after breaking off her long-term relationship with a man who wouldn’t commit himself. she then got a job as an associate producer at wjm-tv and her friend phyllis rented the top floor of her house to her.

the show often dealed with sexism and other issues. with mary being the only woman in the newsroom, she has dealt with her fair share of sexism and is even paid less than a former associate producer after she had previously received a significant raise.

mary also puts her friends, lou, ted, and murray in their places after they insult and stereotype women over drinks with her, a woman, at the same table.
