Yes. Where’s sexy wild pig and sexy murder hornet? Endangered panda and Black rhino?

I didn’t follow the Mulaney/wife guy relationship dynamic super closely outside of his standup and I’m not a celeb goss person in general. But my only prevailing thought is holy FUCK do I feel terrible for Mulaney’s ex wife. To have your famous husband who paraded your supposedly blissful (and childfree) marriage…

I feel like this being treated differently because we all generally like JM and think his work is good. Which, I agree with.

Finally watched the first episodes and the way they portray co-ops or condos makes no sense. They said the dead guy was behind on his rent. You don’t rent, you own and make monthly maintenance payments which is what Martin Short was behind on.  Unless you are subletting but the dead guy had lived there for years with…

It is explained by Mabel house-sitting for her aunt. And given the state of the renovations (e.g., nothing seems to be getting done), I don’t think too much money is being put to use in that area.

Needle Park was based on a LIFE magazine photo essay, check it out:

Usual note that “Friends” did indeed explain how Monica/Rachel/later Chandler could afford that apartment.

yes, she’s apartment sitting for her Aunt whilst she renovates the place for her.

Martin Short’s character also wondered the same thing. It’s explained in the show.

Yes.

Worked or, more likely, waited their entire lives rooted in under rent-control (the entire building sold for only $15M as recently as 1994).

I am assuming her character has a high paying job or comes from money.

Well, older people could have bought in a zillion years ago when things were much cheaper. My favorite example that shows this is the movie “The Panic in Needle Park,” which shows a bunch of heroin addicts scoring around a skid row-type area. The “park” in the movie is actually the square at 72nd and Broadway, a very…

That would be great if they did that as an in-show explanation as opposed to the usual “Friends” non-explanation of people living beyond their apparent means.

I think she’s a former Disney star.

I kind of hope one of the other two notes that they worked their entire lives to get there while she traipsed in after school.

Do they explain how it is that a twenty-something could afford an apartment AND a renovation in that building??? The cheapest current listing at the Belnord is priced at $2.5M. That’s partially because they don’t have many smaller apartments in the building but at the actual Ansonia a smallish 1BR is still close to…

That sounds so gross (the lady expecting someone catch her fallen towel, that is) and I’m sort of obsessed with the idea now.

For some reason your post made me think of all of the different places they started setting film versions of And Then There Were None...  Originally a British private island.  Later versions were set in an isolated Swiss ski chalet, a middle eastern hotel and an African safari...
