What was the appeal of Jeffrey Tambor ? He was always so stilted, uptight and awkward. He starred in that awful Three's Company spinoff The Ropers. I bet Audra Lindley and Norman Fell were pissed by that mess and getting screwed out of their TC spots.

Which is to some extent the exact role he played here, except patriarch who transitioned.  I could only watch the first season because I thought the show was so sad.  All of the kids were so screwed up and unhappy and I didn't feel a lot of hope in Maura's situation.

 

I guess it was a realistic look at the life of a 70 year old trans woman who doesn't have Caitlyn Jenner's fame and money though. I am sorry people lost their jobs and trans people lost some representation though.

I find the entire Transparent situation very bizarre. Tambor is probably no saint and a man with at the very least severe boundary issues, and meanwhile one of the accusers apparently promptly left Hollywood and trashed the rather hapless Soloway after not receiving a payout following the scandal and is now running a gofundme or something. It's weird and I'll leave it at that.

This doesn't necessarily have to do with Hollywood, but I'm glad that Uber and Lyft are being looked at. I had to take Uber to and from work for a time while my car was out of commission, and some of the male drivers made me nervous. Thank goodness none of them ever tried anything.

I had at least one very scary experience with a cab driver and a few that made me uncomfortable when I was younger.  I think getting in a car with a stranger is always a gamble, not that we always have much choice.  Getting my own car (which I only did after I left San Francisco in my 30's) was a huge boost to my personal safety. Even public transportation can led to trouble, but at least then there are other people around and you aren't worried you are going to be driven into the desert (Vegas) and killed. Turned out he just drove me 20 mins out of the way to jack up the fair.

    • It does, doesn't it, lol?  It seems like Peter couldn't even go to the bathroom without Pat threatening to do herself in. Were the Pollocks writing the show at that time?  Because, if they were, that might explain why so much of what I'm reading sounds horrible.
    • I watched almost all of this, in real time, with no recording devices and nobody in real life to discuss it with.  I didn't have soap magazines, so I had no way to fill in any episodes I missed.  But most of this is very familiar to me. Hard to believe it's been 49 years!  I remember all of this except for Matt McAllister.  But I do remember seeing a clip of Matt McAllister in this thread a few months ago.  I remember Jenny being a nun but I don't remember anything about her having been a missionary in another country. It would be an exaggeration to say I remember it vividly -- it's tiny bits of memories from decades ago, so it's now quite fuzzy in my mind.  But when I was watching, I felt it vividly -- I guess I can say I remember my own vivid emotions that I felt while watching.
    • I remember the arrival of three Webber siblings, and I liked Terri.  (I know the Terry on GH most discussed by viewers was 1980s Brock's daughter, but this was someone else entirely, and a decade earlier). I think I remember Terri as having reddish hair?  so I just googled the actress but can't find any color photos from that year. (I don't remember Pat Lambert at all)

    • Sadly, that was more than some African-American characters get on soaps today.
    • I've been rewatching old episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on ParamountPlus.  There are times when Captain Sisko visits his father in New Orleans.  Sisko's father runs a restaurant with specific local New Orleans cuisine, and we actually see and hear him recommending specific dishes to the restaurant customers.  I can almost smell the aromas. I'd like to see occasional mention of the menu at Orphey Gene's Soul Food Cafe.  Someone orders something, or mentions how much they enjoy something.  They named Orphey Gene's after MVJ's mother.  I want to feel it as a soul food restaurant and not as a generic diner set for conversations.  I mean it obviously it will still be used as set for conversations, but give it more specific atmosphere.
    • Yes but, after Lucas, Lance, Leslie, Lorie, Bill Bell definitely had a “house code” when it came to character naming conventions.
    • IKR. I hollered just now. I totally agree. Even now the Doug/Joey/Vanessa storyline is moving from C to B and doesn't even touch on the crooked cop part of Joey's storyline. It's similar to what they did with Martin's secret...just idling on the backburner all of Month 2 until this month regaining a build to it. I feel the same about the crooked cop storyline.    And I can't wait for the police fundraiser. Hoping to see more of Jacob's family then as well. 
    • LOL @Taoboi and I posted the same thing at the same time. And during the convo between Anita and police chief Elon, we learned that Elon's wife (Jacob's mother) is the police dispatcher and Jacob's brother is another cop. So maybe the reveal will happen after the entire family is shown onscreen?
    • LOL. Great minds.
