The difference between reruns of MTM and reruns of TPIR are so dramatic as to make the analogy pretty weak anyway. If you want to pretend not to recognize that, you're just being obstinate. The bottom line is that Barker has the power, and whether he's acting out of malice, out of fear of embarrassment or out of a genuine and sincere believe that he's doing right by his four-legged friends, it's still his power to wield.

Bob seems to care a LOT more about beings with four legs than he does with people with two legs. An oblivious mink is more important to him than Dian Parkinson, Holly Halstrom, Janice Pennington, Kathleen Bradley, Paul Alter and the rest of the exiled production staff, and all children. Maybe if he treated his two-legged friends with even half the respect of his four-legged friends, I and others wouldn't see him as the jerk he is.
If Bob was even half as good as Betty White, my view of him would be a LOT higher than it is now.

Any sensible girl cares about animals and would protest and beg for cash in lieu of the fur. Fur is a relic and when the old generation dies nobody will care about it anymore.[/quote]Those are fairly wide-sweeping generalizations that you've made, and you're in no position to make them.

Most sensible girls in this day and age have lived in a world where fur has been a liability instead of an asset, marginalized for being a product of murder with the risk of having it being splattered by blood or paint by protesters being very imminent. In turn, they don't want fur because fur is no longer the object of luxury it once was and it's something they can do without. Ask any girl under 30 and the majority will either be against fur or apathetic towards fur.
