In 1958 New York, Midge Maisel's life is on track- husband, kids, and elegant Yom Kippur dinners in their Upper West Side apartment. But when her life takes a surprise turn, she has to quickly decide what else she's good at - and going from housewife to stand-up comic is a wild choice to everyone but her. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is written and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls).

Can you point to the best episode of the first season, maybe?

It IS nice to see traditional Jewish crazy, instead of Christian crazy for once...but at the same time... any religious crazy makes me tetchy...

I did tell hubby the joke about the French whores.... "Did you HEAR what that girl did to Joels' balls??"

If they take it off Prime I'll check out the other episodes you mention...

I liked it because it kept my interest, plus it was about the world of stand-up comedy, but the ultimate selling point for me was Tony Shaloub and Kevin Pollack, two of my favorite character actors - and both in the same place, at the same time. Genius casting.

There is a scene, I forget which episode, in a restaurant with Joel, where he brings his mistress to meet his parents. It is comedy gold. So well written, acted and directed. Granted there are some slow moving parts of the series, but overall, it's just plain funny.

The joke about the French whores was funny. There's more sprinkled throughout.

Let's say a guy was born with only one testicle... you'd be on board with him getting a fake one, right? Hair implants for balding guys?

If you wouldn't be judgmental about that, you got no right to look down on any woman for doing what she likes to her body. But, it's clear rethugs have no problem being hypocrites...

For the record, if they hada resort to showing boobs in the first damn episode...it can't be that good of writing. Whether they are real or fake.
Just desperate pandering.

See Game of Thrones, Westworld, Vikings, True Blood, The Girlfriend Experience, .. it's a long list.

What a hypocrite. How many times have you run down Hollywood, really? And now you praise those that pass out awards as genius.

I haven't seen any of those, and the truth is MOST TV is made for the lowest common denominator...baby, you IT.

And thanks typo-Nazi, you called me out on cite / site. Tremendous win for you, I'm sure. Cherish it.

Everything else I said ? You've got no rational reply. The substance of all this ? You're still lost in the shallows, no where near finding solid ground.

Attractive women with natural breasts, no less.

Funny thing about it all , the actress probably lines up politically right in Wishie's wheel house. I have no idea, could be wrong, but the odds certainly do favor it.

Always happy to call you and JSF out for being the self-righteous and yet utterly dense freaks you are.
