Scribbles About TV: Great News

This is NBC's newest comedy and I was pretty excited about it... it looked funny... but it also looked like maybe it could have been bad... but everyone in it and everyone involved in making it is super funny... so I thought it would be something fun to review.

Basic plot of the movie: A grown woman has a close relationship with her helicopter mom... but she wants to get away from her kind of sort of- but her mom gets an internship at the news studio that she works at. And her mom is played by the amazing Andrea Martin.

So I think the cast of this show is really funny. Andrea Martin, Briga Heelan, John Michael Higgins, Nicole Ritchie, Adam Campbell and Horatio Sanz... all super super funny! John Michael Higgins particularly in kind of a starring role here... He really the star of the show... but he has a much more prominent part than he usually has... and he is so good in that role. He's just great! And is really perfect for this role.

I love Andrea Martin in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I think she is really really funny in this. She's very funny, but she's also a really nice mom and you just like the relationship the two characters have even though it's a little bit strange... they're just very good together! Briga Heelan is really good also as being somewhat annoyed... but still totally loves her mom... it's just a great relationship and it makes for such a funny dynamic! They're just great together. They have the perfect chemistry...

And that is something that I would say about the cast overall! They have great chemistry great energy! The scenes with John Michael Higgins and Andrea Martin are amazing... and so are the scenes with Nicole Ritchie and Michael Higgins... PROPS TO NICOLE RITCHIE! Btw! If I had seen that she was on the show... I probably wouldn't have thought it would be very good... but she is so funny and she's just very good in her role. She seems slightly disinterested... if you were going to compare her to someone like Bud's girlfriend on Grace and Frankie... who is kind of similar... she's not quite as good as that actress... but I still think she does a great job and is a surprising delight as far as this show goes! I was happy to see her on this... I like Nicole Ritchie as a personality... so I thought it was good that she was on this show. It's good to see her again on tv.

The concept of the show is nothing that seems new or revolutionary or anything... yet it's a really funny and kind of refreshing take on a mother-daughter type of show. It's something you can watch with your mom and have fun with... and overall it's just really funny. I think if you like 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt you would like this a lot... if you're a reporter this is probably a funny show to watch... and it's just really good. A lot of people would like it and I recommend checking it out. For some reason I think this might not be something that lasts very long on TV... but I think a lot of people might really like it... so hopefully people are watching it and relating to it.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
