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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
