From a reader:

There is NO WAY; I say again NO WAY Derb will make it through that entire series. I started off watching the show (I was young and needed the money…wait, that doesn’t make any sense…uh, my sister watched it…yeah, that’s the ticket) and watched the characters slowly morph from semi-believable human beings into cartoonish assemblages of quirks and affectations. I had to stop. If Mr. “Pop Culture is Filth” makes it past the third season into Bon Jovi territory, I’ll have a shock-induced stroke.
