What a Dingbat
Winston is a regular Mike Stivic, what with the lambchops and his head full of meat and the liberal political views and the always arguing with the conservative and crotchety Carmen. What a delightful and edgy sitcom "Prickly City" would make. Someone thaw out Norman Lear's corpse. (If he's dead, that is. If he's alive, someone thaw out his brain, which has been in a deep freeze since he brought us 'Who's the Boss.')
In today's episode (filmed live in front of a studio audience), Winston grows sideburns and Carmen calls him a hippie. In tomorrow's episode, Winston remembers he's in a presidential campaign and he tries to get to Iowa. In Wednesday's episode, Winston shaves off his sideburns much to the delight of Carmen. In Thursday's episode, Winston tried to get to Iowa. Man, this thing writes itself.
At any rate: STIFLE, STANTIS!

Mike is a "meathead" not a "dingbat." Edith is a "dingbat."
And Lear ain't dead.

Wow. I really appreciate your pro-bono fact-checking Mr. (or Ms.) You've Made a Terrible Mistake.
But let me clarify a few points for you, mate...
I'm well aware that "Dingbat" was Archie's sobriquet for Edith. At no point did I reference Stivic as "Dingbat." It was merely the name of the post. And as you may have noted in the line, "Winston is a regular Mike Stivic, what with the lambchops and his head full of meat and the liberal political views and the always arguing with the conservative and crotchety Carmen," I use the term "head full of meat" (aka "Meathead") when talking about Winslow as Mike Stivic.
And let's address the topic of Norman Lear and whether or not he is dead. I'm also aware that Norman Lear is alive. In fact, I say that he just may still be alive; it's just his brain that has died. Just trying to be silly for the benefit of our dear readers. You, dear reader, may not have derived any benefit from this, and for that I apologize.
I am full of hope that someone someday thaws out your corpse, Mr. (or Ms.) You've Made a Terrible Mistake.
