Notes imbibed. Scarfed.

I fell asleep whilst putting my youngest to sleep and missed all the fun of yesterday’s closing pages. Went right to the notes. Great news about another award!

BK, as the creator of Sami, are you privy to how many views each episode has or any such data?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #6 on:** May 03, 2023, 12:19:32 AM »

Quite enjoyed the bloopers! Want more!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #7 on:** May 03, 2023, 12:19:58 AM »

But what can ya do if nobody blooped?

Belated birthday wish for Fred, FJL. My old neighbor in Hell’s Kitchen.

Erstwhile, I should say. Not old!

Congrats to the great JRand on his being cast, and best of luck navigating that annoying crew member.

Sami's mom did the Amazon stuff so she sees those figures. They don't really keep it up to date, unfortunately, in terms of minutes watched or how many actual sales. but I suspect by now we're over 10,000 minutes watched, probably well over.

I spent much of yesterday battling the Hitchcockian swallows that have been attacking my house. I think I now have a good set-up to keep them off our lighting fixtures and porch. Time will tell. They are savvy critters.

I guess what you’d like to see is no dropoff of views from the first to last episode. So you know viewers who start it watch the whole thing.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2023, 12:47:38 AM »

It’s a short show to binge, but not everyone watches that way, so it wouldn’t be an iron-clad metric yet, but a general consistency of episode views would be a delightful sign.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2023, 12:53:50 AM »

The bloopers made me want to ask, was the chemistry between Sami and Sammy pretty natural/quick to gel, or did it take time to establish? They’re instantly believable as old buddies.

bk · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2023, 02:30:57 AM »

They went to school together, so they had chemistry to begin with, but we saw a lot of tapes for that role - he was the only one who didn't push anything and was real AND funny. My only problem with both Sami and Sammy was getting them to understand that the energy for the show is heightened, that there has to be a certain vocal energy. That took a lot of the first day's shooting to get them there and then I only had to reiterate it occasionally.

Good morning, all!

Good morning, friends.

BK, what good news about the award! I hope they keep coming in.

The Hitchcockian Swallows should be the title of something-or-other.

All my money is still in my bank account this morning, so I think the scammers were thwarted.

My Dublin friends have arrived. They want me to come to lunch tomorrow at noon on East 39th Street. I emailed this morning to say if there was one place I did not want to be ay high noon it's the area around Grand Central: traffic is terrible on the streets and sidewalks.

Sounds sensible, DR elmore3003. I hope alternate accommodations can be organized.

Today is more of the ballet; I'm still stuck in No. 15, the end of Scene Four.

I need a barber excursion, and I had hoped to tie it in with a trip to Staples and luncheon with my Dublin friends. I think that's now out of the question.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 03, 2023, 04:22:35 AM »

On Friday moring, I need lab work for next week's doctor's appointment, so maybe I'll see the barber on Friday.
