An interesting and accurate concept if I may second those thoughts.  I have
thought about this minority thing for quite a while and was wondering......
isn't this discrimination?  Yeah, I know people are about as tired of hearing
that word as a few others that are being discussed on a constant basis but,
think about it....Marcus has been on the show a lot longer than the resident
(whom he plays second bananna to) so, shouldn't he be top bananna instead of
second bananna?  Does it mean that TPTB doesn't believe that Abe (being a
minority) can made critical decisions?

c)  deleted also for pretty much the same reason

d)  deleted because I don't want to even think about the new Wayne/Diedre.
I liked the old couple too much to even watch what is happening today with them

Ah, come on....you expect the peopleInChargeWhoLetDaysGetToWhereItIsToday to
actually realize something good AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT?  There are quite a
few story lines (as well as characters) who were starting to become good and
really getting depth when TPTB just out and deleted them.

Another reason for them not to pick up on it.

Gee, I want that job too.  Where do I send my application?  I know I could
get some really good letters of recommendation.

Wasn't that something how Drake and Victor conveniently forgot to turn off
that monitor?  Especially since (sorry, I can't remember which one) looked
directly at it?
