The Charlie story was for nothing too ultimately. (Allie and Tripp should absolutely have struggled more with her initially accusing him of rape.) The plotting is so poor.

Kenya and Brooklyn on a magazine cover:

Sorry, I meant “All Access”… https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/all-access-canceled-last-episodes-to-air-in-june-exclusive-1234928631/

I always come back to this one, but Felicia and Lorna scenes (Dano and Coppola) on AW were such gold:

Admittedly I am a list whore, if only to use them as a discovery tool for songs/TV shows/movies I might have missed, so for me, the more eclectic, the better. And they are great clickbait to get folks angry. This list is predictable, aside from a few streaming-era obscurities in the 80-100 range, which is my problem with it. A very straight-American-white-male’s canon of TV comedy, which we’ve seen done ad nauseum. A few nods here and there to black sitcoms. Perfect for the Boomer-GenX Rolling Stone readership. I’d be much more interested in something more global. (Of course, people seeking validation of their own tastes would be pissed that their favorite ‘80s comedy was displaced by some Korean show.) But yeah The Simpsons has disgraced itself for going on far too long. It was great the first few years.

Berrettini out here making moves… This old tweet made me laugh, though.

The Golden Globes are getting hammered about their proposed reforms. I wonder if they’ll survive this. They were *always* corrupt in completely blatant and transparent ways.

Rich Juzwiak posted this funny clip of Tawny trying to pronounce his last name. She seemed like such a sweetheart: https://www.instagram.com/p/COnTW6HDbYQ/?igshid=ki15wboqplzr

Tawny Kitaen (Lisa DiNapoli) has passed: A clip of her and Signy Coleman that she tweeted out earlier this year:

Rome women’s draw… some juicy possibilities.

It’s hard to get invested in these stories because they just mutate into something different…. and stupid. A bit aimless. RC is lucky to have this writing staff to make the day-to-day at least somewhat watchable.

Hmmm…

Uh, what is going on with Rafa down a set and break to Sascha Zverev on clay of all places?

Now allegations are being made about Noel’s DW days and John Barrowman has also been named (for exposing himself—which we’ve known for years—he admits to “tomfoolery”):
