The Joan development - her talent, her high business value, the trigger of insecurity in her fiance, the<br>gross stupidity in hiring that young guy to do "her" job...boy, I hope they play this out well. It's rich material. Joan needs to head up the TV Department before this is over. --- Betty working up a sunrise sweat, beating the crap out of a chair, and slopping around in her wonder bread party dress... I liked it.</p>VictoriaTue, 16 Sep 2008 15:41:16 -0000http://newcritics.com/blog1/2008/09/14/the-world-according-to-bert-cooper/#comment-2355701<p>Is this the guy who started the guitar Mass?
