Whenever I see Tooberville’s name I go for preemptive laughing. And so far I have not been disappointed. What Booker is doing is something I do not recall ever seeing for as long as I can remember. I’m sure there have been others, but none as passionate and dedicated as Booker and the brave colleagues who joined him. Bravo!

And entirely unrelated, maybe not, but I’ve been meaning to check out “Boston Legal” after I saw the clip (now unavailable apparently) of Shatner laying out his firearms in the office. Pure J.T.Kirk. Or maybe T.J. Hooker, I get confused.

On my list for years, same with House Of Cards and a few of the others. But nothing can compare with what we’re living through, if it ever is retold no one would ever buy the non-fiction angle. I doubt I’ll live long enough to see the toxicity wear off enough to make a film (or series) that doesn’t cause projectile vomiting. Hope whatever this is we’re seeing every day comes to a swift and satisfying season finale. ()Any time, I’ll wait.
