I want Jimmy Burrows to know that his work is also a deep part of Australian culture too. These shows are ingrained on the Australian psyche. Every Aussie knows the Cheers theme, Latka from Taxi, Rachel's hairdo, Will, Grace, Karen and Jack. You are responsible for the happiness of so many Australian people.

Thank you for interviewing such a great director whose body of work made such a difference in so many lives. His shows, for me, were the laugh-out-loud shows that bring me to a place of joy by merely mentioning them.

26 minutes just flew past there, and they still had no time to talk about Burrows' work on NewsRadio, Frasier, Laverne & Shirley, The Bob Newhart Show. yikes
