Well that was established last season. He’s big into the “clean” investment. Maybe out of liberal guilt, maybe out of knowing in our current world if you want to be a billionaire and not have the people pressuring the government to take you out you better be a “good” billionaire, with all that green energy and MAWOB in your portfolio. The guy is still a jerk though, he’s just smarter about his image than Axe.
i enjoy the show but Midge is such a crappy mom.
In an early episode she danced (or something) with bare boobs. Unacceptable on the public airwaves.
She did not "dance" with bare boobs. She entered the comedy club on a night where non-professional comics could get on stage and do their thing.
She had just come from home after her husband told her that he wanted a divorce because he had fallen in love with a (teenage) girl from his work.
She was so upset that she wandered around until she wandered into the comedy club and went onstage and did a rant about what had just happened to her. She also was pointing out that she kept her figure and she was pretty sexy; and, to prove that she took off her top to show how nice her boobs were.
She did not "dance around" or anything. She did make some very funny jokes.
I watched a rerun of that first episode; and, Amazon Prime had cut that piece of her rant out of the episode. So, I'm not sure anyone who would be watching that now, will actually see her bare boobs.
When this show first ran, I read a review of it and that writer said that it was loosely based on the life of Joan Rivers.
Maybe they will do to the kids what they typically do when they get in the way of the story line. You know- phase them out of the storyline. That’s what they did in Murphy Brown.
The clothing that Midge wears on her trip to Paris in Season 2, was outstanding, really great looks.
She has a nice rack, that’s for sure. I keep watching just in case she decides to whip them out again. ;-)
I will join you.
Currently the only show I watch is Alone. Ten people dropped out in the fall wilderness with limited tools.
If they don't have a season 9 I might drop TV entirely.
It is boring, because the star actress is not funny.
But you can’t have what the main character wants, marriage and family and safety for children, without chastity. She tells dirty jokes about her husband, not knowing he cheats. He’s unfaithful. Marriage over.
Continually pushing the envelope of public sexual discourse, searching for a new taboo to break for the shock value and the laugh is destructive of chastity.
There’s good reason for raunchy jokes to be told within same sex, same age groups.
So as Paglia says, some degree of prudish limitation protects romance, protects sexiness, and enables comedy. No taboos, no Lenny Bruce.
If the show ever questions the sexual revolution and the coarsening of public discourse, that would be bold.
The article was a word salad and I’m not sure what the point was.
Love Mrs. Maisel. Worth watching just for the fashion. People use to dress in beautiful clothes. The episodes in season 2 at the Catskills were great as was the Yom Kippur dinner episode. Every show on now has some preachy lefty crap in it and I pick and choose what shows I’ll put up with it. Conservatives have always been behind in infiltrating the arts. Andrew Breitbart understand this.
Agree. It is sort of like a female version of Seinfeld but set in the past. It is really funny for a new production as well. You see a lot of Joan Rivers in it.
For those of you who are open to it which I know is not many o of you, if you like period pieces, Seinfeld and Joan Rivers, you’ll likely find it watchable, which is better than most Hollywood productions these days...
Looks like “Mad Men” for women.
no, she just dumps her kids on her parents.
I'm with you. I saw the first season and a few episodes of the second. She plays a comedienne but her character isn't funny.
The second season wasn't entertaining at all. She's still not funny and the rapid fire Aaron Sorkin-esque dialogue is irritating.
I don't know which season it was but the show ripped Phyllis Schlafly in such an unfair way, calling her a monster among other things. It was quite over the top, and stupid.
This new season IS bad...my hub fell asleep while trying to watch. I just don’t find it that entertaining
I watched one episode when it came on and gave up, just wasn’t interesting to me.
Shows like that as they go on lose whatever they had to begin with and fade.
Yes...I do enjoy the fashions of that era...seems sexier than today’s bare it all
