I'm convinced Dr. Spaceman was based on a real Hollywood doctor.
(If you can see the pamphlet because of the caption, it says "You do the meth!")

I came in to make this joke and you beat me to it.
This lady would probably join a cult to cure a mental illness.
Delta or Jenna?
I haven't heard much about Delta Burke since the early 90s, but no major controversies come to mind (YMMV).
Jenna definitely, though. lol
30 Rock had such great writers.
If your beauty gives you lot's of money you can just replace it. If someone paid you 10 million wouldn't you use meth?! I would
My first thought was that it sucks that she felt like she had to do that.
I had no idea who this was so I went and looked on IMDB and she was in a show called "Designing Women" and one of the top rated episodes has this description:
Suzanne [Burke] attends her high school reunion, where people shun her because she weighs more than she did in high school.
Irony.
This show was similar to Golden Girls.
This show was waaaay more fucked up than Golden Girls.
For instance, The Golden Girls had an episode where they track down a jean jacket that leads them to Micheal Jackson tickets and the concept of the elderly becoming homeless. It’s a serious episode where political issues take a center stage…
Compare that to a show about a couple of women repeating a LOT of southern racist tropes… or the fact that an entire character was a 90s gay stereotype.
How about the episode where Rose was informed she might have received HIV infected blood, and the show tackled the stigma around it while she waited 72 hours for the results.
I’d say there’s a reason golden girls is still very popular to reference in gay culture but that implies there’s only one
Who? And why should anyone care?
Delta Burke!
She’s that lady with the face and the hair.
She should care...
careful. you don't want to get to addicted to that stuff so alternat coke or crack to be safe.
Denny Crane
Man shows up at the pearly gates, sees this guy in a pinstripe suit and a briefcase, a cigar, prancing about. He says to Saint Peter, ‘Who’s that guy?’ Saint Peter says, ‘Ah, that’s just God. Thinks he’s Denny Crane.’
It's literally FDA approved for weight loss.
Methamphetamine (desoxyephedrine) was first approved in 1943 by the FDA for treating narcolepsy, mild depression, postencephalitic Parkinson syndrome, chronic alcoholism, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and hay fever. Later, in 1947, methamphetamine was also approved as the first drug for treating obesity.
Hay Fever season just around the corner. Better stock up
I love that it was used for alcoholism. I see how, treating adhd helps with that, but still.
well, if that was an amazing beautiful woman i would give it a try but let's be honest, as a fat woman myself, it did work very well. I guess I'll just keep doing nothing
It did work for her, 40 years ago
Anecdotal evidence (seeing a couple of methheads) says it works.
For weight loss at least, doesn't mean you will look good, just thin.
Dexatrim used it in it's formula for decades.
Some that weight is teeth
She did not have enough cash for the classic weight loss magic?
Have you seen Elon? If there was such a thing as weight loss magic you know he would have used it.
Who? WHEN!? Wtf, how is this news? Please tell me that's the "Onion" part...
The more your smoke, the more you lose. The more you lose, includin them tooths!
exercise and better food work pretty good too
I did both
bad ass
If you stick with it, you're sure to lose weight! Teeth don't weigh nothing...
