The Baldwins In The Media

What a vile show.  Way to make money to pay for those legal bills after killing (accidentally, but still) a mom on that movie set.  Hilary (I refuse to say "Hilaria") seems like a real piece of work.  The promos for this show were interesting.  I saw one on Instagram where Alec asks the kids which of their parents was the sexiest.  I don't even know how to respond to that.  I did watch last night and have to applaud them for at least showing one of the nannies (Paola, I believe) because you know this daffy woman isn't wrangling all of these little kids on her own in those booty shorts she wore most of the night.  

More than anything, Alec made me sad.  He's 66, but acted much older.  I'm not sure if he is putting on a show (he has been diagnosed with PTSD following the shooting, don't you know), but it was sad to watch this once revered actor from my childhood slowly toddling around his apartment, surrounded by screaming little children, cleaning random surfaces with Clorox wipes because of his OCD.  The couch scenes were even worse, with Hilary stretching her legs out into his lap and gazing up at him while he sat there in a golf shirt and a pair of khaki shorts, dressed like my dad on Saturday mornings before he went outside to mow the backyard.  I would be absolutely horrified if I was his agent.  Part of me wants to give Hilary her props for securing that bag, but then I remember the "coocumbeer" scene from The Today Show and lose all, how you say, simpatía.

This is such a sad business.  I was revolted at the idea, but I was always a fan of Alec's since he was on The Doctors!  In 1979.  Then Knots Landing.  He is a very flawed person but also a talented actor, and I had always enjoyed his movies and SNL appearances.  So I thought I would watch out of curiosity.  I was mostly dumbstruck watching the million kids running around the house and sitting on kitchen counters.  But then they switched over to the scene where they were introducing the breaking news segment when the shooting first occurred.  I had to turn it off at that point.  I just couldn't watch. 

One time about 20 or so years ago, I saw him wandering around a local street fair on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.  It was Father's Day and he was all alone.  This was when he had that awful estrangement mess with Ireland.  It was really sad.

How many children do they have? I don't think anybody ever mentioned it.

This was really bad. I don't like the wife at all. Totally inappropriate to have filmed this show when they did and then air it now. However, I will say, if Alec had gone to prison I would have watched just to see the ... how many children? ... visit him behind bars.

Its only 6 episodes so I'll stick it out. Just so I can get the t-shirt that says I survived.

Hillaria/Hllary makes Alec look like a doddering old fool who is so stupid that he ended up with all the cats in his car....The kids are like banshees! Wifies likes to sit with her legs splayed out to display herself like a fashion model...Then we get the poor me piece of his shooting of the woman...and how  they suffer through it....oh...he has ptsd...while his victim's had to suffer through much much worse...

this show bites!

This wasn't as awful as I expected. 

Agree Hilaria is annoying AF and having seven kids 10 and under must be a nightmare.  

Alec looks like he aged 30 years since they married. The photos of them at their wedding, he was still very attractive. Obviously he's gained weight and I'm sure the nightmare of that trial and of course just the incident itself has taken it out of him. 

It was a terrible accident but I think the prosecutor went overboard on charging him. Apparently the judge agreed, thank goodness. Saying it was his fault because he had a producer credit is ridiculous. He had a producer credit on 30 Rock. That's just a negotiation tactic to get more money and have some creative control. You aren't in charge of the prop guns. 

Yes Alec has anger issues, but it seems like it's usually directed at the paparazzi, who just bait him to get the reaction.

Episode number two of this absurd farce that basically exists to pay Alec Baldwin’s legal bills show.  First, I’ve decided that I’m going to play Spot the Nanny every week.  Hilary goes way overboard trying to pretend that she’s raising all of these little kids on her own when she. is. not.  10-year-old Carmen said that being the oldest child means that she’s pretty much raising the younger kids along with her parents.  Hilary needs to hire one additional nanny so that her preteen daughter never feels that way.

Alec’s demeanor while talking about acting and his career was the most animated and happy he’s been so far.  Still, he looks so utterly tired.  He’s always been known for being a bit of an ass and I don’t like asses, but I do feel sorry for the 66-year-old guy, mainly because I cannot stand his phony wife and her phony accent.  That being said, he knew what he was getting into with this ridiculous woman, sitting on the interview couch with her legs wrapped up beneath her like a pretzel.  I did have to laugh when he said he wanted to “hasten this along,” referring to their exchange of anniversary gifts.  After listening to her rattle off the inscription (en español, of course) on that necklace she gave him, I can’t say I blame him.

I feel sorry for the family of the woman who was shot and killed, especially her young son.  What a slap in the face this entire thing must be for them, especially so soon after the trial.  I wasn’t aware going into this that the trial would be featured so prominently.  The discussion of Alec’s “survivor’s guilt” and the impact of the killing on his emotional health was in incredibly poor taste and should never have seen the light of day.  Judging by the preview for next week, it’s not going to get any better.
