My wife was out of town the past three days, which I thought would be the perfect opportunity to make more progress with the Bergman box (in the moments when the baby was sleeping, anyway). And yet, when the time came, I just didn't feel like it. I was going to force myself to watch movies, but ultimately decided the heart wants what it wants so I just went with the flow and didn't question it.
Big Mouth season 2 - I don't love this show, but I love the people involved. I think I could love it, if it was more grounded and lost some of the more out-there stuff like the Hormone Monsters and Coach Steve. Heck, maybe even just Coach Steve. That character bugs the shit out of me.
Adam Ruins Everything - I binged a bunch of these. Some interesting things to be learned but Adam's deliberately annoying persona is too genuinely annoying. Also, don't promise me "Adam Ruins Sex" and then just talk about circumcision, herpes and hymens.
The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling - I loved Shandling's first HBO show ("It's Garry Shandling's Show") but curiously only ever watched a handful of episodes of "Larry Sanders". The whole series is only $16 on Amazon right now, I might just take the plunge (sadly, the "IGSS" complete series appears to be out of print and going for insane prices). Anyway, this was a really compelling doc, if perhaps a tad overlong, that dives deep into Shandling's psychology.
Bojack Horseman - Finally getting into this. As a huge Paul F. Tompkins fan, I delight in the character of Mr. Peanutbutter (the greatest name!) and the rest of the show is pretty good too. I'm 8 episodes in and not completely in love with it yet but definitely want to keep watching.
that new Brian Regan show on Netflix - I love Regan's comedy but this format does not work for me at all. The fake banter with the producer and the sketches just disrupt the flow of the stand-up (some of which is recycled anyway). I bailed before finishing the first episode.
