This useless trivia has been brought to you by nothing other than the fact that TVShowsonDVD told me today that "Mama's Family: The Complete First Season" is coming to DVD Sept. 26th. Pardon my controlled giddiness.

Sonja went through an interesting metamorphosis on the show which may be likened to that of a butterfly. She started out as a spaced-out, lazy, "groovy, man" hipster (caterpillar), morphed into a tomboy girl who got interested in boys and civic awareness (cocoon), and at last blossomed into a made-over feminine teenage beauty queen (butterfly). (Hmm, ever get the feelin' you've said too much?...)

Blanche's Uncle Lucas: "That's how Blanche refers to you in her letters." Dorothy: "Yes, she must be punished..."

The useless trivia you tend to remember from your youth. I was looking at the calendar yesterday and realized it was John Taylor's birthday. I had to go to the band website to verify if I was remembering it correctly. <--Lives a sad and scary existence, sometimes. Getting back on the Rick Springfield topic. DH & I were having dinner in downtown San Jose a few weeks back and overheard a table of ladies talking about going to see Rick later that night. I hadn't realized he was going to be in town.
