And the main premise, IMO, is that a young comedy writer who smart-assed herself right out of her field assumes Jean Smart’s character doesn’t know much of anything about comedy because of her age.

And yeah, along with your observation about old school TV – I have no fucking idea who any of the “stars” on this year’s Dancing With the Stars…[Read more]

Seems like the shows that won most awards were from streaming platforms. I’ve seen Ted Lasso…. it’s alright, even though I’m not much of a soccer fan. Haven’t seen The Crown, because I figured it would bore the unholy shit out of me.

Honestly never heard of Hacks before yesterday, but it looked like it might be interesting. Where is that…[Read more]

Mare of Easttown was extraordinary. Absolutely top notch. Ted Lazo was wonderful. I’m going to have to resubscribe to Apple TV to catch the second season. Loved Hack. So low key and understated, but funny as hell. Jean Smart is amazingly talented. Loved her in Mare of Easttown as well.

Some type of store, think it was Home Goods.
