Not sure where he was but he’s on tonight. ETA: Stephen brought up that he was touring in Japan. Stephen was excited to have the whole band back tonight for the first time in six months! noticed that he was back. meant to post but the day got away from me. i thought he was with the band when the show came back on 10/2. must have been a short trip to japan.

may have missed it, but has there been any mention of where joe saylor is?

with you all the way! what a perfect series finale that would have been. will, bonie and the kids off in the sunset. geordie keeps his job - and a puppy. things are copacetic between leonard and daniel. why not. quit while they were ahead?

feeling the same. but, will probably hate watch just to see how they write will out.

started watching ‘evening shade’ on amazon prime and was stunned to see a teenaged jay r ferguson playing the son of burt reynolds and mmarilu henner. had no idea he’d been around that long.

finally! i’ve been saying this for years. from the ny times: ”In recent years, producers at late night shows had a perennial complaint: why on earth were they being forced into an Emmy competition with John Oliver whose HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” did not resemble anything like theirs? They did celebrity interviews, Oliver didn’t. His show was 30 minutes, theirs an hour. “Last Week Tonight” rolled out 30 episodes a year while their output was at least five times bigger. To make matters worse, Emmy voters adored Oliver’s show and gave him the best variety talk show Emmy seven years in a row, leaving them in the cold. No more. The Television Academy has moved Oliver’s show into a new category this year — outstanding scripted variety series. This gave an inside track to hosts like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel or Seth Meyers to win for best talk series for their current late night shows for the first time.” eta: last week tonight generally focuses on a single topic, so the staff can take as long as they need to research. very different from addressing events of the day — sometimes even tearing up a monologue 5 minutes before air to include something that’s breaking.

read this and couldn’t help but think about all the mayors who’ve had to deal with frank over the years. the link is free. nyc police commissioner resigns

i remember treat williams playing a retired football player with dementia on l&o svu — heartbreaking performance. beth chamberin (guiding light) played his wife. andre braugher was his defense attorney.

memo to oscars and emmys: THAT”S how you do an in memoriam!

According to captions, he said 'I'm a fa**ot with a Tony' Growing up, they called me the f-word. Now I'm a fa**ot with a Tony! that’s what i figured. thanks,

any lip readers out there? loved the opening number! i always hated the inane banter between the presenters in past tonys, so it’s orinic that the so far the show is actually better unscripted. hough i do wish they had included scenes from a couple of the plays along with the musicals.

hard to say for sure, but this episode has a possible series finale feel to it — bringing the kids back, along with jennifer esposito, the heavy foreshadowing of danny and baez — likely shot before the renewal was announced.

Same here! We girls weren't allowed to wear pants. One cold winter day a bunch of us got together and decided to wear pants the next day, figuring they couldn't send us all home. A couple hours into the day they announced over the intercom since it was so cold, during the winter girls would be allowed to wear pants. And they never pushed back when we just kept wearing them. also in 1967: i had a part-time job as a cashier in a huge supermarket. in the winter, every time the electric doors at either end of front of the store opened, there was a blast of arctic air and our legs froze — well, those of us who had to wear skirts. we all hated it, but i was the only one who complained. of course, management didn’t give a shit. one day i had had enough. i realized that if we all wore pants on a saturday there was no way they could send all of us home — they would have had to close the store. the part-timers were all high school students (as was i) and easy to convince; took a little longer with the full-time women, but eventually they came on board. it was my first collective action!

they are awful, which is why i’m not going to miss this show. i get that the audience has to suspend disbelief, but in the past, amy would take us to the edge. now she just pushes us over the edge.

loved trixie’s dress — think it looked far better with the pillbox than it would have with the tiara. curious, though, about colette’s persistent nosebleed. don’t recall it being issue before and concerned that it could lead to something more serious.

i don’t think it was character assassination. depression is common after a miscarriage. and they kept trying, without success. so i get her being depressed and wanting to be with her family. given all that, what makes absolutely no sense is cutting the scene when he left to join her. i mean how long could it have been ffs?!

True enuff, but wouldn't a normal family give the kids time to get to know each other before they embarrass them? operative phrase here: “a normal family.”

just caught alex borstein’s prime video special that dropped last week — ‘corsets and clown suits’ — which shot on tmmm’s nightclub set before it was struck. worth watching: vulgar (of course:), but very funny and often poignant. her marriage to jackson douglas ended in 2017, and she’s still processing.

major story point in the neil diamond jukebox musical, “a beautiful noise.’

haven’t seen the guests for tonight’s show. please — PLEASE — don’t let him be on vacation!

don’t know if i’m the only one, but this was a weak, repetitive episode that i pretty much ff’ed through until the susie/susan reveal. felt like filler — odd for the final season.

I'm guessing they had to scrap their original show and come up with a new one ASAP. I don't think they'd let this wait a day! looks like the news broke @ 5:30. pretty sure they begin taping @ 5. hoping they had a heads up that it was coming down and held the audience while they rewrote the monologue. much as i love john oliver and last week tonight, they do one topic a week and, what, 30 shows a year. i don’t begrudge lwt its emmys, but they’ve never delayed a taping while they rewrote the monologue. totally different animal from late night with sc.

i loved that episode! also the one where he cares for a victim’s dog, as well. sure, there are similarities between the two characters. but much as i love monk, in some ways, i’m finding myself liking will even more.

looks like the band got sparkly new outfits for the opening.
