NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

In last night's episode of 'Studio 60', the newbie writer said he was going to put Lucy's line of "I'm not white; I'm British!" into a sketch.

Had that happened in the Real World, there would be somebody like me ready to point out that he'd be accused of ripping off a similar line from 'All In The Family'.

In one episode, I believe when Archie was either in the hospital or trapped in an elevator, Roscoe Lee Browne said to him indignantly, "I'm not black; I'm Haitian!"

BCnU!
