Frankie is not portrayed as working part time. She is portrayed as sometimes missing work for kid emergencies.

The moms on two of the four Wednesday sit-coms work, the exception being Beverly Goldberg, and that show takes place in the 1980s and the mom on Speechless, who is staying home with her child who has CP. The mom on Blackish is a doctor, and her husband appears to have a less demanding job.

Such a funny show.

I liked it, but I hope that they're not going to talk about weight in every episode. The character was an everywoman, and Katie Mixon is funny. I liked her on Mike and Molly, and what I really liked about that show was that it wasn't wall-to-wall fat jokes (even as Mixon, who started out as Molly's skinny sister,…

LOL. This seems like a pretty long causative chain there. He might not have been in that exact spot if she'd gotten on the lifeboat. I mean, if he hadn't won the ticket, he'd be alive in Ireland too. I was more upset by Old Rose throwing the diamond into the ocean when it probably would have paid for all her…

He was nice because he wanted something, and he reverted back because he didn't get it. I am not understanding the recent idea that an awful male character
(Ramsay on Game of Thrones or, here, Jody) being sexist is evidence of
bad writing.

She "took it" because she was done with him and didn't want to engage anymore. He was a jerk, and she walked away. Just yesterday, i was explaining to someone younger that women do not owe it to men to engage with them simply because men want to engage. It's a good lesson, and it's taken Mindy a while to learn it on…

^^This.^^ Any woman who's ever tried to change a guy knows it. They can hide their flaws, but they don't really change, especially if they don't think they need to.

Weirdly, I think they've finally found the right balance with Jody, jerky without sounding too much like Donald Trump. I hope they keep him this way, assuming he's staying, instead of ruining him like they did with Jeremy.

It's true her career is really taking off. But this season is 16 episodes, and I guess it's possible next season could be fewer than that. Similar Hulu originals, Casual and Difficult People, have 13 and 10 episodes per season. I guess anything is possible, and 5 seasons is definitely a good run (more than I ever…

But have they forced her into a stereotypical role? Or is being that type what is getting her roles? It seems like it is harder for more generic-looking actresses (neither strikingly beautiful nor interesting-looking in any way) to carve a niche for themselves.

I would love this. But then, I actually thought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was an underrated movie (or, at least, it should have been promoted as the comedy it obviously was).

Then you're not trying. In acting, people are types. Jim Parsons is always going to get cast as a nerd because he is a skinny, pasty guy who looks like he doesn't have any hair on his body. He isn't going to get the same roles as Chris Hemsworth, even though they are both white (I don't think I mentioned Leslie Jones'…

So I'm guessing no recaps? But the main character is a recapper!

She's 6' tall and probably weighs 250. What do people expect her to play, Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice or Natalie Portman's role in Black Swan (either of which would be hilarious, actually)?

They make a lot of trailers before the movie is even finished filming or cut, so I think they go with what they have.

I'm just curious — what did you find so awful about the trailer? I saw the trailer, and to me, it looked like the trailer I'd expect from a Ghostbusters movie — slime jokes, physical comedy, etc., same as the first two (I actually just found and watched the original 1984 trailer, and let me say, it was pretty bad,…

I watched every single episode of 30 Rock, and I had to look up who that was. So you mean he barely had a part?

89% of people on Rotten Tomatoes want to see it. So I don't think everyone in the country is negative on it.

Right. Mindy Kaling said years ago that it was her dream to be in a female Ghostbusters reboot, and nobody is asking why they didn't cast her — she's at least as well-known as Cecily Strong and has been in more movies. Nor is anyone bemoaning the lack of Rebel Wilson or Amy Schumer or Lena Dunham. Leslie Jones over…
