I didn't know Bleak House was in the offing so I'm sad I missed it! I've heard many good things.

I think Mr. Selfridge is supposed to be marginally better. Which wouldn't be hard because The Paradise is maybe the worst show I've ever seen - across the board, bad writing, poor casting (the lead girl confuses intense staring for acting), even the costuming isn't that great. I felt compelled to finish out the first…

YOU CAN'T HANDLE MY CARDIGANS!

All librarians and friends of librarians are welcome!

I'm sorry about your mom, genuinely. My grandma is in the beginning stages and it sucks.

I'm a librarian, too! Friends!

I think there's an episode of This American Life about it, too.

Jinx! But who cares, let's all celebrate Pinot Noir together!

The Toast helpfully listed the best rhymes in Pinot Noir yesterday. SPOILER "Listen to Tom Beren-gar" is #1.

Teri Garr, Jamie Farr, these are 70s TV stars.

Well, yeah, sure. Do that until your house blows up.

And you know what happens to people who are rude…
Sorry, wrong show.

YOU ARE RIGHT OH MY GOSH

I don't love speculating about awards shows, but that confession to the daughter-in-law. That was some beautiful acting that deserves more than just me acknowledging it in a comments section.

Keep being a serious/curmudgeonly archivist! Digital preservation involves so much more than people think - my intro class in grad school scared me away enough that I changed to public librarianship, so keep fighting the good fight.

Exactly! This was a fairy tale version and felt so hollow because of it, particularly because the timing of this episode was so bad re: the Justice Dept.'s Ferguson report.

Both. And she's adorable doing it.

Upvoted for mention of Degrassi only. Don't care for Kevin Smith (or his episodes of Degrassi).

Well, Mildred's report IS flabbergasting. I agree with gasparochomitz there.

I wondered if they were going to go with the MTM group hug to close out the series. It was nice to see in the credits.
