“We as a culture” are mostly enjoying his standup and his Netflix show, and probably this upcoming book.

Hot take! I enjoy his comedy and also realize that he can be a little cranky because he’s old and things have changed a lot. I know what I’m getting when I watch him, and I don’t expect anything else.

Welp, it looks like Jerry is old enough and put enough things into the world to be hated by the internet.  Congrats Jerry.

Maybe I feel this way because network TV’s bar has been dropped so low, but I’m always impressed with this show’s ability to time-jump so freely. We have 1) toddler Kevin, 2) little boy Kevin, 3) lame-legged high school Kevin, 4) actor post-married-to-Sophie Kevin, 5) current Kevin, and of course, 6) future Kevin who…

So you think that this dinner was actually a solemn occasion allowing a group of Mexicans to honor the mythical and historical troubles of their people?

*to the tune of The Who’s ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’*

I’m actually a bit disturbed by how these articles always erase the involvement of Nichelle Tramble Spellman and Malcolm Spellman, the two African-American executive producers of the show. The show may have been terrible (we’ll never really know), but I don’t think erasure of people of color is a great way cover this…

No, we are not 4 years old. Which is why we call it lady parts, and not Vagina.

I don’t think the complaints are that it’s “color-coordinated fluff”. They’re more about how the color-coordinated fluff seems to be more important than character development or plot progression.

Midge got on stage after the music went out and the crowd got restless. I saw it as an attempt to help out.

Can you be willfully ignorant if you don’t know you’re ignorant?

I have watched the ending set twice. As painful as watching Midge talk about Shy the way she does, it’s painful because I’m gay (and from my life experiences back in the 70s and 80s), not because any of it was meant to out, or harm Shy. Midge was freaking out about the Moms situation, her not being right for the…

Can we give props to Wanda Sykes as Moms Mabley!

Is it bad that, three seasons in, we do not know very many details of a main character’s personal life, including something as basic as who they are attracted to, if they are attracted to anybody? Kind of!
Also, the show is set in 1961. You do not have a female character present herself in the way that Susie does in a…

The show’s disinterest in exploring what Susie *wants* for herself beyond hoping Midge will make her rich has become kind of frustrating, three full seasons in.

I’m hoping that becomes a big theme next season, especially since outing Shy Baldwin likely will lead to some tough conversations. But then again, I’ve been hoping they’d give Susie more interiority since Season 1. I feel like Amy Sherman Palladino is just too addicted to writing witty banter to really go there. 

She’s not a confirmed anything. The show hasn’t really ever touched on her romantic life. It’s just... a choice to take dyke signifiers from that time and apply them to a character and then never do more with it.

You're reading a recap for season 2 episode 2. We're well past explaining what the show is. Do your own research.
