From Ghettoside to Better Call Saul
“Mad Men” starts again April 5 here on AMC — the final season.
And now yet another reason to live: “Better Call Saul,” the lawyer from “Breaking Bad,” here on AMC. If you’ve missed the first four, treat yourself. So good.
And a completely zany “Mary Tyler Moore for the Twenty-First Century” is available for binging here on Netflix — “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” You think Mary had spunk? Wait til you meet Kimmy.* Being a creature of Tina Fey, with no small assist from Jane Krakowski, it is just ridiculously funny most of the time.
And there are lots more, but no time. I still have episodes of “The Roosevelts” in queue!
The problem with kids these days, I keep telling people: they don’t watch enough television.
But if, like them, you don’t either . . . if you insist on books (thank you) . . . then read (or listen to) Ghettoside. Gripping. Wrenching. Real people most of us would otherwise never meet.
*Lou Grant, famously: “Mary: You’ve got spunk.” Long pause, as Mary blushes and beams. “I hate spunk.”
Quote of the Day
This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.
