Anyone else catch the transition with Bernsie/Leila and LoHo? They had a pretty fun segment talking about old tv shows and their theme songs. Did I hear Leila right when she said she had no use for Archie Bunker because of the support of spousal abuse??  what the hell is that?

| WTF? Archie may have insulted her intelligence and called her a dingbat one too many times, but for each and every episode of that show there was nothing except 100% unconditional love in his heart for Edith.

The Libs don't understand unconditional love or unconditional anything. If it's not transactional, it can't be grasped. |

Exactly right. Anyone that sees it differently clearly never watched the show. |

You could say the same thing about Gloria and eventually Mike as well. |

I think she confused Archie Bunker with Ralph Kramden but didn't make clear enough references for someone to catch it. |

Regardless, even if you bought into the point that Archie was terrible for women that was the entire joke. He was overplaying all the bad stuff. |

Leila said she didn't like All In the Family because of threats of spousal violence. She's wrong. Edith might of slapped Archie. That's it. None by Archie or Mike. |

I’ve heard Leila on a couple times now as a part timer and it’s almost PTFB radio for me. Thankfully I’m only in the car 5 or 6 minutes at a time to go home for lunch and to go back to work. I find her obnoxious and never funny. |

She never watched the show. She is doing what she always does, saying anything just so she can belong. She's like Steve Carrell in The 40 year old virgin when the guys are playing cards  The truly ridiculous thing is the Score acting like Leila Wednesday is some big attraction to the audience. She was filler for her one year at the station, during which she perpetually had her eye on returning to TV. As I've written before, she's an empty vessel, most qualified to read teleprompter on TV. She sounds awkward anytime she is given a chance to riff. |

Other than her being somewhat attractive, I've never understood her appeal. Is it not being Julie? |

The show was crazily overrated. |

Tom Arnold's career is a testament to that |

i'm guessing she's done with wednesdays? if so, those were 3 precious hours a week where she can give her opinions and thoughts on all matters that she can't do on tv. career-wise...the money and tv exposure is a no-brainer; but i'm thinking it's got to be a bummer for her not to have 15 hours a week to talk about things important to her. to stay relevant, she may find a partner and do podcasts? she had former channel 9 reporter lauren magiera on recently and i can see those two.. |

As bad as Leila is/was as Dan's partner, she is exponentially better than Creepy Larry. |

Whether you like Leila's opinions she is pretty vocal about making sure she is heard and gets her say against the two dopes. |
