This is music to my ears. Thank you so much

[@carolglover3582]

So talented…..we need more attention brought to the fabulous writers that bring us joy. We forget sometimes to appreciate the writers…we know but don’t always appreciate.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

So true.

Another great interview. You ask the best questions. He is a very interesting and talented person.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Thank you so much

[@LannieLord]

I think I met him at a party in NYC about 14 years ago . I was dumbfounded as to how YOUNG he was to have written The Golden Girls back in the 1980s and early 1990s .

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Yes he’s very youthful

[@cookingartguy2170]

Thanks!

[@MaleOrderBride]

You didn't ask him about "The Nanny"? My favourite show 😢 Harvey should interview Renee Taylor or Lainie Kazan: they are a riot!😂

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

Sorry I didn’t ask him about “The Nanny”. The interview was based on his book and he wrote nothing significant in the book about that show. We’ve tried to get Lainie Kazan on our show numerous times. So far no luck. We’ll try to get Renee Taylor. Thanks for the suggestions. And thanks for watching our show

[@MaleOrderBride]

@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 thank you Judge Brownstone!💚

[@MsBackstager]

I've often been told that I'm a Sophia wannabe.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]

That’s hilarious!!!

[@atrocchia]

Paul Lynde was a snarky queen.

[@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980]
