Bruce, I think you'd enjoy the subsequent seasons of THE GOOD FIGHT.

HACKS, starring Jean Smart, isn't the sort of show I'd usually watch, but it's well done and I find the generational interplay interesting.

[Jeanne]

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

We are heading to the airport for our first flight.

Have a great trip.

Fun piece on some of the anachronisms and not in the new Perry Mason.

I realized that I really don't know the real-life story that Parade is based on, and I probably should.

[George]

Cute!

I remember that I read some stuff when the show was first on Broadway, but I don't remember what I'd read.

Well, the author of the WaPo article didn't catch the five-digit phone number thing. I'm sure the researched used Pennsylvania 9-5000 as their example, but that was not Los Angeles. LA didn't go Prefix and five digits until 1950. I just looked through a yellow pages from 1937 online and there is no number over Prefix and four digits.

Good night, friends.

DR JEANNE I forgot HACKS.....yes that's a good one.

Cool. Nice to know.

Jack Lemmon starred in a miniseries called The Murder of Mary Phegan. That’s when I first learned the story.

Jean Smart is great.

Dancing was fun tonight.

[John G.]

Starting Strange Brew. Somehow I missed this beer-besotted mess when it was first released.

[John G.]

I love Max von Sydow making fun of himself.

Love this bit from Variety’s review of Bad Cinderella:

Bad Cinderella” also presumes to know what a sizable fraction of its audience wants, and panders to them shamelessly with varying degrees of success. For those who are thirsty (but mostly the gays), there’s the chorus of barechested, leather-harnessed hunks, who mug and flex in a homoerotic number pining for their lost Adonis (the sensually modern choreography is by JoAnn M. Hunter). And when (spoiler alert) Prince Charming (Cameron Loyal) returns to resolve the mismatched marriage plot, he’s built like a truck and accompanied by a lover (Ben Lanham) he might as well bench-press to the altar. It’s a gay-us ex machina moment contrived for maximum squeal effect, but the jarring celebration of queerness rings hollow in a show otherwise enthralled to convention, because Prince Charming and his brawny bod are emphatically held up as the height of masculinity.

[John G.]

Needless to say, it was not a favorable review.

[John G.]

But the critic loved Carolee Carmello.

I was at the hair salon yesterday having a haircut, when I quietly commented to my hairdresser that I found one of the customers there annoying. He agreed. Then I suddenly realized who she looks like: Majorie Taylor Greene! It was rather uncanny.

. I would have felt bad for her if she wasn't annoying.

[Jane]

Travel vibes to Jane & Keith!

May you have a great trip!

Thank you.

We are heading to the airport for our first flight.

Thank you.

Our short hour flight was on a small plane. We boarded outside and had to walk up the narrowest stairs I have ever boarded on.

[John G.]

So, the pacing is so slow on this thst I almost fell asleep. I don’t like the addition of “if” to lyric about not knowing “if you loved me too.”

[Jane]

There weren't many stairs.

[John G.]

In short, he’s no Julie Andrews.

[Jane]

They would have been easy if I didn't have to carry up my roll on bag.
