<pre wrap="">No, I think you are right, it was Roseanne that said it. 'What's all

<pre wrap="">No no no, Brad had it right, except for the spelling. Emily Litella
was the crochety elderly news commentator who was always mishearing
words ("violins on TV") and "never mind", and Roseanne Roseannadanna
was "It's always something", "I thought I was gonna die", talking
about bodily functions character.

characters. Plus, that was almost 30 years ago....christ I feel old... :)

FWIW, I believe the phrase was "Too much sax and violins on TV"<br>
