TV's funny women prove comedy not just a 'boys' club'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Jennifer Aniston recently revealed that she turned down an offer to join the cast of "Saturday Night Live" in the mid-'90s because she considered the show to be a "boys' club."
Today, the club has a new policy. Kristen Wig is as valuable to "SNL" as Eddie Murphy was in the early '80s, proving week after week that women can be as outrageous, goofy, creative and unpredictable as the men. She's not the only one.
Consider lane Lynch's version of Idi Amin in track pants on "Glee" or Toni Collette's arsenal of whacked-out personas on "The United States of Tara." Admire Kaley Cucoo's perfect eye roll on "The Big Bang Theory" or Tina Fey's klutziness on "30 Rock." Betty at Betty White's spunk in "Hot in Cleveland" or question Cloris Leachman's sanity in "Raising Hope." Gawk at Sofia Vergara's beautiful destruction of the English language in "Modern Family" or Laura Linney's mastery
Toast Courtney Cox's wine-guzzling antics on "Cougar Town" _ and while you up, raise a glass to Mary-Louise Parker, Lea Michele, Patricia Heaton and Amy Poehler, all evidence that TV has never been more welcoming to funny women.
"We're lucky enough to be on shows where it's not just about the man's journey and the woman is
anding there shaking her finger or waiting for him to come back from his fart fest with the guys," said Julie Bowen of "Modern Family," where the punch lines are split down the middle between the two sexes.
spent time together and Laverne & Shirley turned in a fine impression of Laurel & Hardy. And then Roseanne Barr rumbled onto the screen.
It wasn't just her dry-ice delivery that made Roseanne a groundbreaker. It also had to do with the fact that she ran her own show — sometimes with an iron fist, but it was her vision — a rarity before "Roseanne"
"I just think that we're sort of redefining what it is to be a vibrant, beautiful woman.."
Not that female characters haven't been drawing laughs since Ralph Kramden threatened to send Alice to the moon. Lucy Ricardo was as animated as Daffy Duck, Carol Burnett made us glad we

premiered in 1988.
Roseanne's reign also paved the way for such actresses as Emmy winner Lynch, no slouch in the looks department, but not the
standard eye candy.
TV's willingness to cast funny females who don't look as if they just walked off the Victoria's Secret runway explains why "Hot in Cleveland" is one of cable's hottest
shows. "I just think that we're sort of redefining what it is to be a vibrant, beautiful woman," said cast member Wendie Malick, who recently turned 60.

Sheen doubts inclusion of morals clause in contract
Charlie Sheen has been far too busy with his at-home drug rehabs project lately to spend much time reading, say, his contract. But he seems sure of one thing: It contains no provision that says he can't enjoy himself as he pleases.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Sheen was referring to a morals clause, the contractual provision that
"I haven't read it," the wayward star of CBS' hit sitcom "Two and a Half Men" told radio host Dan Patrick last week, "But I don't think it covers. 'Let me totally dominate and interfere with your personal life'"
since the early days of Hollywood has governed any conduct by a performer that might pose problems for the studio. "Two and a Half Men" is on hiatus while he is in rehab and isn't due to resume production until at least the end of the month
"I was sober for five years a long time ago and was just bored out of my tree," Sheen told Patrick. "It's inauthentic - it's not who I am."
If Sheen is correct about not having a morals clause — and Warner Bros. Television, which makes the show, has neither said nor done anything to contradict him (a studio spokesman declined to comment) — why doesn't he have such a provision in his contract?
