DR MAX REGRETS TO INFORM YOU: Early CNN fixture Tom Braden has died. While I liked Crossfire back in the early days, it never occurred to me that Tom Braden was the fellow who wrote Eight Is Enough, on which the Bradford family was based. Now, I think it would have been more interesting if Abby/Betty Buckley was having an affair with Robert McNamara, such opportunities were written out of the show by setting it in Sacramento.

I don't recall our ever having an Eight is Enough thread and given that it launched the careers of Scott Baio Ralph Macchio and Willie Aames, I trust our commentariat has something to say of the fine folks from Macarthur Park.
