15. Tori is a riot. A total camp princess.

When you take her acting for what it is, she is rather clever.

On a side note, I thank the OP for changing the title line.

Aaron Spelling was one of the good guys.

3. Come on, Aaron was a good guy

Came to Hollywood literally almost penniless, and he and his family (albeit tacky) have done alot for charitable causes. And, when no one else would touch it, he produced "And the Band Played On." I'm against the estate tax being cut, but there are many other people I would needle about this other than the Spellings, that's for sure. Starting with the Bushes and their cadre.

4. Please don't diss on a family who has lost a loved one.

If you have something to say about the estate tax, say it but don't trash a family who's grieving.

5. I think there are two other Spelling kids

as well. Tori may be the oldest.

I read where Aaron Spelling's first wife was the woman who played Morticia on the Adams Family.

11. The king of brain stem television. And I say that respectfully.

I've always considered Spelling's brand of entertainment to be sort of the TV equivalent of pulp writing- and I *love* pulp writing. It's absolutely shameless. "Here's some t&A!" "Here's some blood!" "Hey, not enough crime!" "Where's the car chase?!"

14. When The Thought Of Someone Not Paying As Much Taxes Means More

to you then the sympathy of a daughter losing her father, then I feel for you.
