HBO: Hacks

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That’s good to hear. Jean Smart was on Fresh Air earlier in the week and I’ve been a fan of hers since Designing Women (she and Annie Potts were the best things about the show). It sounded like an interesting show and I was looking forward to it before your post. Now even moreso!

Dunno that this needs its own thread but we watched the first two episodes and it's fun. Jean Smart is so good.

it's no Barry

Seriously what is though? I can’t think of anything that comes close.

Yeah it's by far the best comedy on TV--I would say in the last decade, maybe?

[VinylGuy]

And yes, Jean Smart deserves every award of 2021
