Catherine O’Hara Used to Ghost Her Dates “I’m sure I blew it many times, but I think I married the right guy. Dating is killer.”

Michel Ghanem @tvscholar.bsky.social interviewed CANADIAN legend Catherine O'Hara for @thecut.com about Apple's showbiz satire 'The Studio' and Schitt's Creek, of course. 💕 www.thecut.com/article/cath...

You’ll Want to Experience Common Side Effects An anti–big-pharma comedic thriller that’s perfect for the Luigi Mangione era.

afraid to tell tvscholar hive I'm thinking of watching The L Word (for the first time)

i know it's illegal to critique The Sopranos but why does Edie Falco get like nothing to do in the early seasons (so far). sometimes she's barely in an episode rip

should I be blueskying more...what are the vibes where is everyone at

the more time goes by since HOW TO DIE ALONE's cancellation the more I think about what a shortsighted decision that was. what a shame.

hoping to watch less shows about crime, murder, and cops in 2025...give me a surrealist slow burn gay yearning auteur dramedy or something 😭 the stakes are too damn high. I'll even settle for an emotional family drama, what happened to those!

(this is after watching every season of it except S3 which I'll wait to catch up on after I've watched Potomac, too many spoilers)

the concept of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (basically RH All Stars) is so much better than its execution, which ends up being quite boring as a watching experience — except for the bits where they reflect on their experience as housewives, but that could be explored in a different format imo

it starts off really strong but gets more limp as it goes along until its characters are making silly goofy Die Hard references and I'm rolling my eyes lol. but I love the cast!

the way this genre is evergreen: “When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood,” Peacock’s logline teases, “Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

thank you for having me!!! can't shut me up about RHOSLC these days omg...

‘Paradise’ Review: Sterling K. Brown Anchors Hulu’s Well-Acted but Uneven Mystery Thriller Despite a big twist and some emotional highs, Dan Fogelman's "Paradise" with Sterling K. Brown won’t scratch that “This Is Us” itch

a fantastic leading cast (Julianne Nicholson, try not to say mother challenge FAILED) didn't make up for a mystery/conspiracy that was a bit womp womp for me. less colloquial thoughts in my review of Hulu's Paradise for @thewrap.com: www.thewrap.com/paradise-hul...

can I go to a sauna/cold plunge studio (spa?) and just use their sauna or will they get mad at me

Why isn't every show about climate change? Apple TV+'s Extrapolations is a decent attempt—there should be more.

the gay agenda (pushing Big Boys in my column)

Big Boys Brings Big Laughs Hulu’s latest queer comedy import from the U.K. takes us back to the 2010s.

BIG BOYS was dropped unceremoniously on Hulu last month and I could not rest until I wrote about how much I love this queer show with uncanny parallels to my own life: for the first entry of my Appointment Viewing column in 2025 for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/revi...
