Andy's Character/Serious Line...

To echo another poster's message about Tom K. I also enjoy his messages.  I think they are very thought-provoking and informative.  I enjoy reading the descriptions of the scenes from specific TAGS episodes about Andy's or another character's facial expressions, or when Andy Taylor for a split s
