Later Murphy Brown plowed into those same issues with guns blazing. Would we be the same people without them? I would like to think not...kudos to the networks for giving us role models that were real, and 'making it after all'!Sandi Maglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704266549174163817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-90964366493539060372017-02-17T18:11:09.130-05:002017-02-17T18:11:09.130-05:00You really did live a life similar to hers!!

(The MTM show started in my freshmen year of high school.) You really did follow in her footsteps. I am very impressed with your success and how cool to work in NYC and overlook that beautiful view. Thanks for sharing your story.

It is really cool to see what you actually did and what a HUGE career you had. While I am too young to have watched first-run MTM, I am just the right age to remember the Saturday Night Guarantee in the early to mid-90's. I remember checking the movies out on sleepovers and then watching them BEFORE going out in college. I remember this as a big, big deal before on-demand, streaming, etc. You really are like MTM to a whole bunch of people my age! I read the post twice I love it so much--ps, I actually think the sweater holds up!

NYC living so young? And that plush office, you must have been an early and great success! If I could even admire you more...<br /><br />I was a teen when I would watch her show on Saturday nights. For some reason she always seemed sad and frustrated in my 'child-mind'. Her workmates gave her hell, her apartment mates were so very odd...even her apartment made me sad! I don't know why!!! She played the straight man role and I wanted her to be happy. I guess I have a different version because I was young and totally didn't get 'it'. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I admire your drive, then and now!<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-6141628534976059352017-02-16T00:10:27.843-05:002017-02-16T00:10:27.843-05:00Aww, this is such a great post Amy!
