I remember when they updated the theme song to include her character.

The lyrics only went as far as "...a movie star, and the rest..." and that actually bothered me. Even back then I thought - "but what about Mary Ann and the Professor (who didn't even have a name, except when you dug into the research for it). I kept wondering - "what were they? Chopped liver?”

Finally, they added "...the Professor and Mary Ann, here on 'Gilligan's Isle'!" and I found that most satisfying!

Oh MAN did I love her!

I wanted to BE Mrs. Peel. Those catsuits! OMG! And she looked absolutely smashing in them.

LOVED "The Avengers"! But when Mrs. Peel's missing explorer husband was finally found safe, and she stepped away from her partnership with Mr. Steed, they brought in actress Linda Thorson as Steed's new partner Tara King, and it just wasn't the same! I think the show only had that one more season - I don't think it went on longer than that. NOBODY could replace Mrs. Peel.

Well, I'd say you can probably kiss your Presidential aspirations goodbye, dude.

We're gonna remind-remind-remind about this as you rear your ugly stupid treasonous Constitution-defiling head toward 2024.

Then again, if trump keeps making "I'm gonna run again" noises about 2024, your ambitions will likely be stillborn, anyway. He's enough of a dick to dick with your plans and everybody else's.

THIS! DAMMIT, Dems! Start figuring out how to get around this obstruction.

Think creatively AND deviously.

Mr. President-elect, and Democrats - think like fucking McConnell does.! And ignore the rules or at least the conventional “responses” if that’s what it takes!

Time to think in terms of outsmarting this devious obstructionist schmuck. I know Dems don’t often do that, or believe in it. Gee, then they wonder why they keep getting rolled!

It also eased the climate crisis a little.

Economic shutdown cut back on carbon emissions and other industrial pollutants - AND car/commuter pollution, too.

Hopefully the “new normal” of work-at-home and order-for-pickup/delivery options will prevail, once this nightmare (hopefully) finally runs its course.

We’ve GOT TO do many things differently if we’re going to have a planet not on the critical list.

December 30, 2020

Yep! Totally agree.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
