One MMOM ficHere we are. Six years and four months. At first I never thought it would take so long and then I thought I'd never finish. When I started this project, I was posting on DW/LJ ALL THE TIME. House MD was still on the air. Torchwood was still a thing. I was working at the Desk of Doom, either binging my brains out OR ( Read more... )

"Lady Godiva was a freedom rider,
She didn't care if the whole world looked,
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her,
She was a sister who really cooked."Of course, it was YEARS before I understood why any of this was humorous, but even then I knew it was catchy ( Read more... )

I know what you're thinking...why am I putting these two together, aside from a certain desperation to get this project done with? They are both "iconic" shows from the late 70's/early 80's essentially built on the personal charisma of one actor/character, but in other ways soooooo different ( Read more... )

I'm slightly confused on the time frame here. IMDB and Wiki tell me the original shows were produced in Canada from 1968 to 1972. That's me from 4 to 8. However, I'm pretty sure they were syndicated and shown in the US a few years after that, because I do remember watching this pretty vividly, so I'm guessing I would have ( Read more... )
