When Barbra Streisand Tweeted GLEE's Lea Michele

I truly hope NBC gives TPC a chance to find their audience and move to better night and time with a strong lead in because, I'm personally enjoying the hell out of the new series. It's truly prime soap of pasts with juicy story-lines in the making it a guilty pleasure. Monday nights had big shoes to pull over with such hit shows on Mondays w\ABC & CBS. All the fuss from this group is to me a silly, it's based in the early '60s and a very different time for woman but seeing the woman's movement to start to happen is exciting for me. It will give the leading ladies some great material to delve into about women and equal rights.
