Hope anyone fasting has an easy fast.

Since i can't drink i won't be doing any biking today. Although pehaps after dinner i can maybe do some indoor stuff.

For some reason i woke up feeling sort of fatigued. Of course that would on the one day when i can't have orange juice or anything to wake me!

Did anyone else watch the season premiere of TAR last night?

I'm glad it always starts at 8pm here so I don't have to wonder.

I'll wait to comment until i see if those who watch it have watched it already.

But just generally i thought it was a good premiere. By the end i was happy with the cast and how the show went. But something happened at the very beginning that i did not like. I'll be curious how others felt (so it made me not love the beginning).

I thought last night's season premiere of "TAR" was great. A true nail-biter throughout. -As for the twist in the beginning, well... Other shows have had similar twists, so...

Otherwise, it's a good mix of teams, and personal dynamics. Should be another good season.

Jrand - Many thanks for your comment on YouTube!!!

I enjoyed TAR last night. I liked it that my two least favorite couples were in danger within 10 minutes, and I am happy with the first team that was sent packing.....not so much the second team.

I don't like the lawyer and his partner or the old people (why are the OLD people on TAR so damned annoying?) - and I don't like the lying poker players.

So it is shaping up to be an interesting season already. No clear favorite yet for me, although I like the brothers and the Christian couple - and to a point Miss America and her husband.

DR Jennifer - You can drink water today, can't you?

This is the first time in a few seasons when the SNL premiere hasn't been the subject of many comments......maybe it will go away soon......

Thanks to DR VIXMOM for the Hamlet Report.

TOD:

Last week's MAD MEN of course.

But also:

THE UNLOCKED WINDOW, of course, an Adriana Hefstetter reference.

The final moments of The ZUNI DOLL sequence of Karen Black's TRILOGY OF TERROR

And I shall await others from other DR's......

Jrand73 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:13:45 AM »

I will watch MAD MEN last night's episode later today on DEMAND.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:37:39 AM »

My friend Zachary Spicer is getting good reviews for his performance in AMERICAN BUFFALO in Hartford, if any DR ever heads over there. I haven't read the NYT review which was up maybe Saturday.....

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:42:44 AM »

Thank you for the birthday wishes DR Vixmom. I enjoyed reading about your Sunday.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #44 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:43:58 AM »

As for last night's "Mad Men"... Hmmm... I think The NY Times' "Mad Men" Watch is spot on today.

It wasn't a good season opener, it wasn't a bad season opener. However, it went by fast - for me - and there were no real dud skits, but none of the skits really stuck in my head. The big "mistake" was having Megan Fox as the host. She's a true non-star, and a non-talent. She either played herself in skits, or she played a slut. Quite the range.

TOD:

In no particular order:

Radar announcing Col. Henry Blake's death on MASH.

Nurse Shirley Daniels shooting rapist Peter White on ST ELSEWHERE

Gary's death on THIRTHYSOMETHING

Just about every death on LOST.

Hmmm...seems to be a pattern here...

OH!

For those DRs who happened to miss Barbra Streisand's intimate set at the Village Vanguard this past Saturday

, they've just posted some Video Clips from the special evening.

Back from Dr. Chew with my new crown. I feel like Miss America (cue Bert Parks).

It went very quickly - in and out in thirty minutes.

And just in case you want some more Babs, there was a nice interview in yesterday's New York Times with their classical music critic, Anthony Tomassini.

Streisand’s Fine Instrument and Classic Instinct

It's very reminiscent of Glenn Gould's appreciation of Barbra Streisand - and Tomassini even references that article.

I've completely given up on SNL. The people who are now writing the show seem to believe that all you need for a skit is to have someone stand there and look funny or say one catch-phrase over and over. It's inane.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** September 28, 2009, 09:20:26 AM »

DR Jose thanks for the links, I'll watch & read later.

DD Sherlock seems to be better today. We will wait another day before confirming it with the vet (meaning taking a stool sample to be checked).

Someone on Twitter stated that the entire concert would be webcasted sometime next week on aol.com (but I haven't checked up on that yet.)

In the coincidence department - just read a review of Stephen Schwartz's new opera of Seance On A Wet Afternoon by the talkinbroadway LA reviewer, who is, I'm afraid, a bit of a ninny (she loved it, though, because it sounded like musical theater). In the novel and film of Seance, the kidnapped child is named Amanda. In Mr. Schwartz's libretto, which he wrote, he has changed the name. Given that he has all my novels, what do you think he changed the name to? Coincidence? I think - not.
