May 21, 20241 yr I've always maintained the illusion with a vaseline coated lens that Jean Smart is still fuckable. But after that weigh in. Woof!

June 2, 20241 yr I'd call the Christmas episode the only weak one they've ever had. The comic scenes and really emotional scenes mix together so very well. Ava's appeal about the relationship is gut-wrenching. The final scene is such a well deployed surprise. I'm so glad that Jean Smart got to rise above the limitations of her character in Designing Women, which was actually a good show the first few seasons. I found her the most attractive to look at; her character was a ditz, so who knew what she was really like. I saw her a few years later in a small movie called Mistress. That little movie has an all-star cast. It's a fun little diversion. She captivated me there. I felt like I was watching somebody paying their dues to move up. Bravo to her. She's great in everything and constantly works.
June 2, 20241 yr I really enjoyed the scene where Ava was doing naked lesbian stuff in the shower. They should expand on that in season 4. Really lean into it.

June 3, 20241 yr I always loved her in "Garden State" despite only having a couple scenes. "Besides...he might be getting into real estate!" She's obviously had a helluva long and deep career, but to SafeSex's point...to see her do this later in life is a such a treasure. It was like she meant for this show after being kinda under-utilized for decades. Let's be honest, female comedic actresses get put into categories by show-business. Tell me I'm being sexist, I don't give a shit. But Jean doesn't really fill a bucket. She can play it totally straight and dry, witty as hell, she can be goofy as fuck, she was always attractive but wouldn't be cast as the sexy girl, she can do physical comedy, she run scenes all by herself, or play ensemble. She can play sad humor, self-depricating humor, romantic comedy, and then just also throw out old-school liners like a Borsch Belt comic. This role is perfect for her and she's nailing every season. She kinda reminds me of Tina Fey who can do all those things I just typed. Tina had the benefit of also writing and producing so she could kinda craft herself into projects. But Jean Smart made a wonderful career for so long and now has this masterpiece to enjoy and hone her true range of talents. csb/ About 10 years ago, for the Texas Book Festival...I got asked by C-SPAN (big network, yuge) to interview Yael Cohen about her book on female comics/comedic actresses called "We Killed." The publisher even put me in touch with some of the comics she wrote about for background information. Turns out Ellen Degeneres is actually quite cranky. Everybody else was a delight. But Yael also really wanted to include Jean Smart in the book as sort of a multi-media (movies, TV, streaming, voiceover/cartoon) trailblazer but Jean was apparently working on something and couldn't make the time. But check out the book when you can, it's a wonderful foray into female comedy. Not that there needs to be gender-specific types of comedy, that's just the subtitle of Yael's book so blame her. But the range of the stories of the interviews she does in the book remind me Jean Smart's range. She's no Julia-Louis Dreyfus but damn I am glad she's doing "Hacks"
June 6, 20241 yr Just finished the S3 finale and wow. Their confrontation scene gave me chills - I've never thought Hannah Einbender was an amazing actress but she really brought it then. And the final scene was great, but I almost think it was too dark for the show. They usually do a good job of walking the line between humor and drama but I think it's going to be hard to get back to hilarity after that. I did love the plane scene. Jimmy's escalating frustration with the lady filming was great. I'm glad they found a way to give Kayla more depth in this episode - she's always been kind of one note until now.

I mean, I get what they were trying to go for, but the writing was just bad and I found myself just waiting for it to end.

Wife and I finally finished S3 last night. I still love the show but I enjoyed the first two seasons more (still loved this one). I thought Einbender's performance was weaker until the last couple of scenes with Smart when she knocked it out of the park. I guess S4 will take on a Larry Sanders' feel, which I'm 100% on board with.
April 18Apr 18 Kayla is such a beating. Her character has never been funny. More assistant, less Kayla. Other than that, another solid season so far.
April 19Apr 19 The person that plays the new assistant is the one that just married Gabby from The Bachelorette.
April 19Apr 19 I don’t watch the bachelor but I know who she is because she was just on traitors. Hottie.

April 20Apr 20 Ok I love the show. But one thing is really bugging me. Maybe it’s me being slightly in the spectrum but I have to figure it out. Ok so they’re partying in Vegas and Deborah suddenly realizes they need to be working. So she grabs Ava and leaves. Now Deborah is driving and it looks like they’re leaving Vegas because downtown is behind them. Ok, 1. Where did they get the car? 2. Are they fucking driving back to LA at 3 AM? ETA: then the next morning, they’re back in the Fountainbleu meeting room. Wtf Edited April 20Apr 20 by SubliminalHorn

May 10May 10 The person that plays the new assistant is the one that just married Gabby from The Bachelorette. Her standup special was hilarious to me and her appearance last week on Mulaney’s Netflix show was also solid.
May 10May 10 I think I’m two seasons behind now but seeing this bumped so much is making me want to hop back in.
