bravest thing i saw. that felt great. that felt so great. initial reports suggest abc made a bundle on ellen s highly publicized outing on national tv last night. the broadcast was accompanied by coming out parties all around the country, including one in birmingham, alabama, where the local abc station refused to broadcast the show. she did a great thing. she was brave. i made the decision that i wasn t going to live my life as a lie anymore. i belong with everybody else and that s what i finally did. we used to say ellen opened the door and we knocked it down. hey, sister, i love my mr. male. tell me lazy, tell me so. tell me i m crazy. maybe i know. can t help loving that man of
okay. more clothes in the dryer? i was dropping my daughter off for sunday school at our temple and literally my rabbi stopped me and said, what s going to happen with ross and rachel?. you re pretty tonight. oh, thanks. the one with the prom video is one of my favorites. you guys, we don t have to watch this. fun. where s chip? why isn t he here yet? he ll be here, okay? take a chill pill. this seemed like a really surprising way to get rachel to know how ross feels. i can t go to my own prom without a date. take her. you could wear my tux. she won t want to go with me. she s learn is going new and he thinks oh, god, please don t let her see this. rachel, ready or not, here comes your knight in shining oh, no. bye.
pretty, huh? yeah. it was just a melding of a guy and a world. open the [bleep] door. open the [bleep] door. and a behavior that promoted all of the feelings that you would have for a guy that you love in a guy that you hate, you know. sopranos came on tv, and it really showed us the future, whether we realized that was going to be the future of television or not. this husband of yours, carmela, how much we love him. he s the best. oh, come on. he s like a father to me. just make sure nothing happens to him. that character in that show was a great inspiration for a great many shows that came after it, including one that i worked on. you know what i want, tony? i want those kids to have a father. they got one. this one. me, tony soprano, and all that comes with it. oh, you [bleep] the 90s is an amazing decade of tv.
show. it s just pure science fiction. that s probably what i like most about it. the x-files changed the way people watched television. you could sense these successful creators trying to see how they could do things different five or ten years ago. sometimes that led to really challenging network television that was cool and fun to watch. and sometimes it just seemed to fall off the edge a little bit. let s be careful out there at the time, steven bochco was a very successful producer of hour dramas and wanted to try something brand-new. we re the police! we have a warrant for your arrest! so his idea was to combine a gritty cop show with a broadway musical. i saw one in which a bunch of gang bangers were in jail. they began to sing.
in the 90s, you suddenly had shows that were aiming at a young audience. one of the things that really made 90210 stand out is that it was one of the first dramas to really get into the teenager s point of view. do you have protection? of course. that s always been my problem, lots of protection but no one to protect. i wanted to do a tv series that was going to be relevant to teenagers. and it s not about the parents solving the kids problems it s about the kids basically solving their own problems. what are we supposed to do? sit him down, have a kid to parent talk? no, you can t talk to parents on that mature level. tragic, but true. if the 60s had beatlemania, the 90s had 90210 mania. and when tv guide had its youth-quake cover, that was a sign that suddenly, television
