The "Hanky Panky / High Anxiety" pair is some of my favorite television, ever. Kathleen Turner was wonderful.

Both Kahn and Cotton! And superb at both.
If they find a dead ringer for Myra, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
Well, some things have certainly grown.
I would like Lindsey from YTW (Kether Donohue) and Rebecca Bunch in the same room, but… I doubt it's for the same reason as yours.
Yes I think so. But I could be wrong. Trying to think of someone who would fit… I feel like there *used* to be tons of guys who looked the part. (Dick Cheney's not technically an actor, right? just kidding)
The one thing that could be tough, in terms of faithfully telling this story, is that the trial was very long and (like all trials) mostly boring. So they have to cut it way down to the essentials, like Law & Order, to make it dramatically compelling — whereas the first 3 episodes dealt with the hubbub and craziness…
Hah! I thought that was odd too. Though I do look forward to an appearance by my favorite French actress, Voir Dire.
… he omits her reasoning in the followup
It's a shameful statistic: nearly 100% of Brentwood Hello assaults go unreported by the men who awaken to fellatio being performed gratis by the sexy milf-next-door.
I wonder about the casting of Nathan Lane; I mean, he *has* to give a very low-key performance, because for anyone who recognizes him, one glance at his wry smile and you'd half-expect him to break out into song. Whereas F Lee Bailey… probably wouldn't. I love casting against type, but maybe Lane (like Travolta) is…
Yeah, well, I'll say the same thing I've been saying for 20 years: You try dealing with your own child being brutally murdered, then watch as the trial becomes a fucking circus SOLELY because the (very obviously guilty) defendant is a celebrity, then watch the bastard be acquitted — and see if you can keep your…
Not Great, Bob!
Did Shapiro really walk into a meeting at that stage of the process, and suggest taking a manslaughter plea? Holy moly…
Anyone else see the mustache and the "one-eighth Chippewa" as a reference to John Michael Higgins' character in Christopher Guest's For Your Consideration? (in which Michael Hitchcock, producer of CEG, was an actor in Guest's stable of improvisers.) He was a proud one-eighth Mighty Choctaw!

I'm conflicted about the show being on CW, because Showtime would mean less censoring of the R-rated content that is central to Rachel Bloom's style, AND a shorter season wouldn't cause the immense pressure to create *so many* musical numbers. (Not to mention all the other writing, of course — but the wide variety of…
I like that the wall of big spenders at Jalapeno Jack’s has only two other people on it.
My favorite thing tonight was the intercutting between Paula explaining her master plan, and the plan's execution. Capped with their joyful success at "mission control".
I really don't want to think about The Cobbler in any context. At all.
