DR. JOYCE BROTHERS
From the New York Times:
Joyce Brothers, a former academic psychologist who, long before Drs. Ruth, Phil and Laura, was counseling millions over the airwaves, died on Monday at her home in Fort Lee, N.J. She was 85.Her daughter, Lisa Brothers Arbisser, confirmed the death.
Dr. Joyce Brothers, as she was always known professionally — a full-name hallmark of the more formal times in which she began her career — was widely described as the mother of mass-media psychology because of the firm, pragmatic and homiletic guidance she administered for decades via radio and television.
She was the host of her own nationally syndicated TV shows, starting in the late 1950s with “The Dr. Joyce Brothers Show” and over the years including “Ask Dr. Brothers,” “Consult Dr. Brothers” and “Living Easy With Dr. Joyce Brothers.”
On 'Girl Talk'
with Virginia Graham, Inger Stevens, Abbe Lane
She was a panelist on many game shows, including “What’s My Line?” and “The Hollywood Squares.” These appearances had a fitting symmetry: It was as a game-show contestant that Dr. Brothers had received her first television exposure.
Playing herself, or a character very much like herself, she had guest roles on a blizzard of TV series, from “The Jack Benny Program” to “Happy Days,” “Taxi,” “Baywatch,” “Entourage” and “The Simpsons.”
O'BSERVATIONS:
In June of 2000, Dr. Joyce Brothers was inducted into the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame (League of Themselves wing.) She could very well be the Queen of the League of Themselves!

JOHNNY THE SNITCH
Women's fear of success has left many of them confused about their wants and needs. Consequently, the stress-related burnout has driven many women from feminist aggression to female passivity, dependent upon their partners for vicarious fulfillment.
JOYCE BROTHERS
Well, what do I tell them?
JOHNNY THE SNITCH
Tell them to get in touch with their unconscious feelings and to share the growth process with their partner.

* The Cineverse is not part of the Toobworld Dynamic as a whole. But certain movies have been absorbed into the TV Universe and this screen captcha is from one such movie - "Naked Gun 2½: The Smell Of Fear", which was spun off from the 'Police Squad!' series.....
