As barely twentysomething during the tenure of this late 80s TV show, I didn't really get what they were all whining about. Now that I'm a fortysomething...please God, let me be past all that. Quote: "I mean, Michael's cute and all, but how much fun can it be sitting at home watching him sulk night after night?"
