Today, I Am Obsessed With ____. Tomorrow That May Change

Season 3 of Community. To really appreciate it though, you should be familiar with who the characters were in Season 1.

In Season 3:

• Yvette Nicole Brown's character (Shirley Bennett) fully unleashes her dark side, as well as how she became the character we first saw in Season 1.
• Jim Rash (Dean Craig Pelton) gets to step away from his familiar portrayal of the Dean, and work from a darker than usual script.
• Abed and Troy (IMO, nothing more needs to be said)

I adored Community, it's been off the air so long I forgot how horribly uncomfortable I am whenever Chevy was on screen. Things were so awesome after he was fired, but sadly we didn't get much of Donald Glover as he left shortly after to go change the world with Atlanta, one of the best shows of all time.

I am currently obsessed with the book James and the series Severance which nails corporate America, according to my husband in finance. Also, High Potential, it's wonderful to see Kaitlin Olson finally get her own successful series, I have loved her since Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Wicked on Amazon Prime video. When it came out last year, I'd rented it online so the number of views was limited. (You can only get away with "starting from the beginning before the credits finish" so many times...)

Now that it's on Prime, I can watch it over and over... Man, it's so well made and acted!

My other obsession has been Wednesday on Netflix. It is definitely NOT a well-made, written, or acted series. There is no reason I should enjoy it as much as I do.

...but season 2 is definitely "The Harry Potter-iest/Sherlock-iest season ever!" (Schlocky promo for a schlocky show that for some reason I'm hooked on)

Trailer Park Boys on Netflix.

Just one of the quirky things I enjoy about the show: Its theme song is the isolated piano accompaniment line from Tony Bennett's 1962 recording of, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".

A little dash of "meta": The acting and the writing can be just as inconsistently flawed and unpolished as the characters themselves. (Sometimes I wonder if that's deliberately 'baked into' the show.)

I loved the fashion show episode with Laura Benanti and Andre De Shields (season 1 episode 10), it was so funny. I worry about the show now that her best friend Kaya left for DC. Their friendship was the heart of the show for me, so I will be curious what they do to fill that hole.

The BBC Desert Island Discs archive. Decades of stuff. Sondheim, Tom Hanks, Marlene Dietrich, and many more. Picking 8 records to take with them if they were to be stranded on a desert island.

I go through spells of being obsessed, so much to catch up on, perfect for a 35 minute commute. Margaret Thatcher is a recent one I listenex to.

These, and "The Proms" are two reasons I appreciate the Brits.

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Faraway Downs. I didn't even know it existed until last week, but I am so happy I discovered it. I saw Luhrmann's Australia years ago, but this is so much better than I remembered. Glad I gave it a second chance."

Jay, do you know the process of how Luhrmann took the completed film, "Australia" to the series, "Faraway Downs"? i.e., Did he use scrapped scenes and then re-edit to include them? Re-shoots w/both Jackman and Kidman?

INDUSTRY on HBO Max

I got hooked really quickly on the setting (Great Britain, but the characters in the show appear to be ~50% American).
The entire cast is distinctively beautiful. Some are just plain obviously gorgeous. Few would argue that point, yet even those cast members that some might consider to be “less beautiful than…” have a distinctive characteristic that makes you want to keep looking at them. Tell me if you think I’m wrong about that. I love the needle drops in this show. I never heard any of these tracks before, but I love nearly all of them. I love the writing, too.

Also note that "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (mentioned above) just won the Golden Globe for “Best Animated Film” and “Best Original Song” (“Golden” - there’s a link to it, also above). Have you seen it yet? I think it's very enjoyable - I've seen it three times, now.

Also, I’ve been obsessed lately about the possibility that I will both want and need to go to Minnesota sometime in the near future. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and/or federalizes the state’s National Guard troops, I don't see how I could not lend my support to the protests. I hope it will be later, or not at all, but I’ve still been thinking about the possibility because it exists with me.

Tomorrow that may change.

No -lol. Just stated my opinion and I could care less if people like it or don't like. (obviously you don't like it - ha ha)

Your correct Jay in these examples on this thread.
