Did James really say what I think he said?

What (or who) is "HTF"?

You mean "that sexy look will do wonders for you"? Yeah, afraid so. Or was there something else I missed.

No idea on HTF.
I meant where she asks him whether he prefers blondes or brunettes, and he replies, "well, as long as the cuffs match the collar", or something like that.

Ah, that. Yeah, he really said that too.

Again, this was an OK set, save for the two remakes that tarnished what would have otherwise been my two BOS candidates.

And to be a real stickler, we also got the re-recorded version of the All in the Family theme, which they did several seasons down the line to better enunciate the line "gee our old LaSalle ran great..."

Ah, yes. I noticed it wasn't the one you hear on the reruns. That line puzzled viewers for several years. (And an aside: why in god's name were they nostalgic for Herbert Hoover? He was a TERRIBLE president.)
Let's get right to it.

I always took it as a shorthand way to illustrate how blindly Republican they were. And there's of course a great exchange between Archie and Maude in that classic episode where he goes off on FDR as a way of pissing Maude off.
