Hate Mail File About the Goof That Keeps On Gaffing

most non-insane people would concede that Culp and Cosby in I SPY were the sine qua non of edgy coolness in their day

Oh my word.  In 1965, I Spy,  the sine qua non of edgy coolness.  A friggin' network TV series about spies for the government.  Containing routines that made my skin crawl because it reminded me of Amos and Andy.  I don't know if I'd figured it out yet but cool and edgy on American TV pretty much ended for a number of years with That Was The Week That Was. 

And the original.

Update:  HIs gROOvineSS informs the world that " [Lily Tomlin] is the poster child for being a condescending liberal asshole toward the kind of people you constantly tell me liberals have to make nice to.

Uh, huh.  And that is as opposed to his typical co-neuron in the "Brain Trust" at 

Eschaton.

Well, now, Simpy, they say that admitting your problem is the first step to recovery but this isn't a 12-step program for you to work on getting some kind of point.
