  1. Every episode was named after something on the menu in finale, I believe.  Even Pop.  
     
    I didn’t love the texts on Marcus’ phone at end.  We already have the main character conflicted between those he cares about and the job.  I don’t need the other.  
     
    The biggest mistake even good TV shows make is contrived conflict/drama.  When I am watching a show like The Bear or any good TV show and I am trained to expect the other shoe to drop when something good happens, because it always does in TV drama. And then it doesn’t.  That is some of my favorite TV, frankly.  Richie’s arc in Forks is a great example of that. 

    No one is counting shoes.

  2. This is probably a dumb question, but what is the reason for reducing the libraries? Is there an ongoing cost for them (I didn’t think so as that is part of the WGA fight) or is it just a way to have a huge tax write off for things that aren’t driving revenue? Some of both?

  3. You Hurt My Feelings

    My wife and I really enjoyed it.  Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a legend (not sure how she keeps getting better looking...maybe I'm just getting older) and the movie is very funny.  It's an easy 90-minute low stakes movie about the small lies we tell each other to keep everyone afloat.  I really enjoyed Enough Said, the last Louis-Dreyfus/Nicole Holofcener movie and this was in a similar lane.

    Highly recommended for a fun/easy watch at the end of a long week.

  4. Pay it forward had me dying when the lady behind him backed up and started ordering 55 burgers and 55 fries.

    Halfway through but this is my favorite so far. Killed me when that happened.

    This show is hit or miss but its’ hits are about as good as it gets.
  5. However you dice it up, looking through that list is a reminder of how much truly great TV HBO has put up over the last 25 years. No other network has 10% of the essential TV they have put out.

  6. I just started The Other Two.   A Schitt’s Creek vibe but raunchier.  Enjoying it so far.   Good cast. 

    My wife and I love it. Great mix of absurdity, grounded humor and pathos. Molly Shannon has had a really strong second act over the past 5 years or so.
