[Blindtlk] favorite tv shows

Wed Feb 7 19:22:53 CST 2007

I'm surprised nobody brought up McGivor. because his blindness was written
into the role when he was losing his vision. I don't know anything about how
his blindness was portrayed. There is also a blind vendor on a  sitcom
called Becker which I don't watch either. We got a long way to go, but we
have come a long way from Mr. Magoo.
