1. Mushy, mushy...

(Sorry -- a little Barney Miller reference for you.)

Holy shit -- that girl ain't right!

I think she is definitely the "new" Foster Brooks.

2. The episode where Wojo's

hippy girlfriend made the pot brownies?

5. That's the one!!

I love that episode.

I had a similar experience...but that story is definitely for another time!

3. Jack Soo as Yamana

One of my favorite episodes; I'm getting scared now:)

4. Ha Ha -- that's funny.

6. Can't be ...

Foster Brooks was funny ... and never made me want to jump off a cliff to get away from his image.

OnEdit: Oh yeah ... and sober.

11. You're right. Hey wait, Paula is also drunk and sober at the same time.... ?

7. But she's a happy drunk

:shrug:

8. Remarkable similarities!

However, Mr. Brooks, a fellow Rochester, NY, native, was always stone-cold sober. Ms. Abdul...well...since that's not supposed to be part of her act, it's probably not an act.

My uncle met Brooks once or twice and said he was a fantastic guy. I may be wrong, but I think my uncle said that Brooks was an alcoholic earlier in his life, got sober, and then raked in barrels of cash acting like he used to. But like I said, I may be wrong on that. Don't want to slander Brooks' memory by accusing him of an addiction he may not have had. :)

As for Paula--honey, get help...

12. That's correct about Foster, he drew on his own "battles with the bottle" for his act.

13. I just want to add....

That Dean Martin wasn't the lush he played in shows and on TV either.

9. She's not as think as you drunk she is!
