Earlier this week HBO issued another teaser for the second season of Looking, which returns Sunday, January 11, 2015. I’m not a fan of the 30-minute format for dramas, but I eventually did get hooked on the series. Do you plan on watching Season 2 of Looking?

The 2004 flick, Mean Girls, written by Tina Fey remains one of my favorite teen films of all times. For the movie’s 10th anniversary, EW invited the film’s female leads to come together and dish about their memories, behind-the-scenes magic, and what they think their characters would be doing now.
These are some of my favorite Mean Girls quotes:
“On Wednesdays we wear pink.” (I’ve actually written posts about this one).
“Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s not going to happen!”
“I’m sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It’s not your fault you’re so gap-toothed.”
You can read this delicious interview on EW’s site, here.
Halloween was just last night and Boston is still embracing the holiday so this seems like an appropriate video to share this evening. I like the subtitles in Italian, but mostly I just like that there wasn’t an annoying commercial that played before I watched it so I posted this version.
I’ve posted various clips of Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox in the past and with him currently on tour in the US I thought I’d share yet another recent release he posted this past September on YouTube.

The McCarthy’s is a new sitcom on CBS that takes place in Boston later this month. The lead role stars former NKOTB singer, Joey McIntyre. I hadn’t heard of the show until I read Out.com’s review, which by the way panned it.
Out.com reviewer, Daniel D’Addario, wrote, “The problem is that Ronny [played by Joey McIntyre] is the kind of walking cliché that savvy viewers would think disappeared sometime between Will & Grace and Happy Endings.” (outch!)
D’Addario describes the portrayal of the gay character played by Joey McIntyre as something that would have been in vogue 10-15 years ago. While I’ve never been one to put too much credence on reviews, some of the critiques make me cringe. Hopefully a more interesting storyline will emerge following the pilot. Do you plan to watch The McCarthy’s?
You can read the full review here.
Scott Bradlee’s Post Modern Jukebox returns to Boston October 19th at the Wilbur Theatre. I have repeatedly posted videos of the Post Modern Jukebox – a band that remakes popular songs and performs them in different musical genres with talented vocalists.
I love their work and wanted to share news of their return to the area so you may purchase tickets to see them on tour.
