> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Four words: “[My Mother the Car](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riOcOgUE-W8)”. I was trying to recall a good example of just how bad things could get in the vast wasteland of 1960s sitcoms. Thank you for saving me the trouble! 😃 ---

Well it’s all over now. I loved Selina’s funeral; I kept waiting for the pallbearers to actually drop the coffin as one final indignity for her. Catherine celebrating with margaritas was a nice touch. ---

Was kinda hoping Andrew would show up, since he managed to cheat death. Also kinda hoping Amy and Dan would stay together (Amy and Diedrich Bader’s character? Really?). Sigh. Gary… OTOH, Richard Splett. Well, okay, maybe there is hope… ---

> [@Malienation](#): > > Amy and Diedrich Bader’s character? Really? Hey, he’s sexy. He sounds like Batman. I have to admit I want to see a spin off about Richard’s presidency. After the satire with a terrible person as president, not to mention icky reality, I’m game for a fantasy about an intelligent and moral (if a bit literal-minded) person in the job. ---

Wonderful finale. Of course Richard ended up becoming a great President. Who doesn’t love Richard Splett, the guy with the email address [splettnet2@splettnet.net](mailto:splettnet2@splettnet.net)?
