Laughing Historically

Tonight, one way or another, history will be made. We’ll either end up with the first woman POTUS or the first oozing orange SCROTUS. But polls show that a good chunk of the population will be severely disappointed by the outcome, regardless of who wins. That’s why it’s more important than ever to find a little laughter in the heartache. […]

Laughter, Completely Uncensored

He held his own against Karen Walker on Will & Grace.  He made us cheer for the underdog in Sordid Lives. And he’s easily, consistently one of the best things on any season of American Horror Story he finds himself in. Next week, Leslie Jordan returns to Dallas in a show to benefit Legacy Counseling Center. Joined by talented singer […]

Ull In The Family

Without Tracey Ullman, we wouldn’t have The Simpsons. We also wouldn’t have a reason to resubscribe to HBO (Game of Thrones does nothing for us). But this weekend, the master of disguise and impersonation returns to the airwaves with Tracey Ullman’s Show and it’s going to be spectacular. From a hooligan Dame Judi Dench and Camilla Parker-Bowles to Angela Merkel […]

Forecast: Ferociously Funny

Not today, Satan. Tomorrow. That’s when Hurricane Bianca debuts. The legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race winner and soon-to-be-superstar comedian Bianca Del Rio (Roy Haylock) took the world by storm in the reality competition’s sixth season. Now she’s on a course of mass destruction against a few small-minded, small-town Texans in the hilarious new comedy that’s a perfect showcase for her epic […]

Thoroughly Modern Minnie

Not all moms are created equal. We so often see portrayals of women who would do anything to empower their children, which is in stark contrast to our childhood where we were overprotected to the point of avoiding all confrontation and anything even remotely risky (or fun). Well, Minnie Driver’s character in the new sitcom, Speechless, is the type of […]

Sex And Another City

To all our friends out there (OK our one friend with this problem), it’s time to stop re-watching the Sex and the City movie on repeat. We have a new show ready to step in and fill Carrie’s shoes. Premiering tomorrow on Amazon, Fleabag is a newly broadcast BBC comedy starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the titular character. Yep, just call […]

Holy’s Hit Show

There’s the religious right. And the religious wrong. Sister Helen Holy falls somewhere in between. Faithful followers of Paul J. Williams’ “altar ego” are singing praises and making animal sacrifices (slaughtered lambs make great tacos, FYI) in celebration of the Righteous One’s two-night Live Christian Broadcast on August 25 and 26. Sister Helen Holy preaches the Gospel each week in […]

Mad Men (And Women)

Some of our fondest college memories are thanks to MADtv, Stuart and Ms. Swan being our all-time favorite characters of the series. Well, after several years off the air, the franchise has been dusted off, moved from Fox to the CW and given a whole new cast (though veteran cast members also appear). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfsKpurSaG4 One of the reasons we loved […]

The Whole Kit & John’s Caboodle

If you’re not watching EastSiders on Vimeo already, here’s another nudge. We simply adore this hilarious dark comedy about a group of gay men and their California (mis)adventures. Now in its second season, it’s well worth the rental or purchase price. As fans of the show, we can’t get enough of these guys. And creators Kit Williamson and John Haibach […]

Slapstickery At Its Finest

We remember rushing home from our high school job scooping ice cream to catch the Moldavian Massacre season finale of Dynasty. Because way back then, if you didn’t catch it live (or remember to record it on your VCR), it was nearly impossible to catch an episode again. Thankfully, we live in 2016 when we can discover an entire series […]
