Interesting clips on "The Tube" of "The Ellen Burstyn Show" [1986] starring Ellen Burstyn, Elaine Stritch and Megan Mullally.
Mullally is almost unrecognizable, thin and blonde. The entire episode is posted in parts. Link directs you to Part 1.

Wow. Megan looks just like Susan Egan in that clip, only with long hair.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Dear God! I actually remember when this was on the air!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Do you remember this one, Borstal?

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Missed that one. But I do remember the one where Patty played the President. George C. Scott did another one where HE played the president...didn't last very long, either of them.

My favorite TV show that never caught on was The Powers That Be, a political comedy with a cast including John Forsythe, Holland Taylor, David Hyde Pierce, and Valerie Mahaffey.
