JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY PREFERS JOEY, AND DAVID AUBURN GOES WITH ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: This New York Times article about the end of That '70s Show would be utterly banal, were it not for this one throwaway paragraph:
One well-known critic of the modern condition recently discovered "That 70's Show" in reruns and became a fan. Edward Albee said in an e-mail message, "The characters are outrageous stereotypes and yet sweet and believable at the same time, and, oddly, the expected always surprises us."

First a play about a man's love for a goat, and now finding joy in a mindless and banal sitcom? Edward, we're going to have to talk about that Pulitzer Prize.
