My roommate has taken to watching the old TGIF show Step by Step on ABC Family every afternoon.  I'm in the room for this stretch, too, to my misfortune.  Today, the show opened with the parents talking about enacting fantasies (I don't watch, but the TV is three feet behind me, kind of hard to not hear anything.)  Now, this show must be from 1995 ( Read more... )
