Expertise

Evil Dead, The Conners And Roseanne, Laverne And Shirley

Melissa is a dyed-in-the-wool aficionado of blue collar comedies such as Roseanne, Grace Under Fire, Laverne and Shirley and My Name is Earl. She is such a Laverne and Shirley devotee that she owns several pieces of memorabilia from the show, including one of Laverne's signature L-emblazoned sweaters and a chair from Cowboy Bills.
Melissa grew up watching "Roseanne," and, despite her love for the show and its spinoff, she thinks "The Conners" works a lot better without lead Roseanne Barr. She's also glad Darlene and David broke up and likes Darlene's relationship with Ben more.
Melissa conducted an interview for Newsweek with Christopher Schonberger and Sean Evans, the founders of Hot Ones and First We Feast. The interview was retweeted through their official social media.
