• Fan: Did you read the reviews and letters in today's New York Times, and if so what is your comment about the criticism of your show being too shallow and stereotypical?
  • Gale Harold: I haven't read the reviews and letters. But, my sort of meaningless response would be "stereotypical of what?" Anything could be stereotypical, so I guess it could be criticism. Criticism is a surreal state, like a good drug gone bad. When it's bad you wish it would stop, and when it's good, you can't get enough. Did they say it's shallow as a wading pool, or shallow as an open grave? And I guess the kicker of the whole thing is, I can't read. But I'm working on it.
