Anyway, I guess I want to rant about little Jay Dubya a bit. I think he's really been just a one-trick pony with Buffy. That's it. I don't care if he's a third generation Hollywood writer. I don't recall anyone posting about the work of JW's dad or grandfather, so I will now.
Joss's grandfather was John Whedon. He wrote for such programs as "Disneyland," "The Dick VanDyke Show," "The Andy Griffith Show," "The Donna Reed Show," "Leave It to Beaver," "The Alcoa Hour," and "Kraft Television Theater," just to name a few.
Joss's father, Tom, wrote for "The Golden Girls," "Benson," "Alice," "The Electric Company," "The Dick Cavett Show," and "Captain Kangaroo."
I got all the above info from imdb.com.
I'm a babyboomer and I'm familiar with all those programs, and they were( and some still are) classic, IMO. They hold up quite well, even now.
Maybe Joss is getting by because of his last name. I don't think he's in any way, shape or form as talented as dad and granddad. He just knows how to talk a lot.
Oh, yeah. I am extremely glad about Joss "creating" Willow and Tara, but I think most of that was because the actresses had such chemistry. But he had to go and fuck that up.
Karma's a bitch.
End of rant.
) and this definitely isn't it. For an officially sanctioned product this is bizarre and the K reference in the Wikipedia description is just plain insulting.
