The Americans are Back and I’ll Be Recapping

Kay Gardella Memorial TV Review Blog,

That’s right boys and girls! Just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be recapping The Americans over at Happy Nice Time People — the bestest blog in television recaps. This should be interesting, and strangely enough was my idea. A couple of years back I wrote a rather uh critical piece about the show right here on this blog. I stand by it. The characters are not two dimensional, but the history is wrong. It’s a version Dick Cheney would applaud. St. Ronnie Rayguns is credited with ending the evil empire with military contracts.  The episode that drove me over the wall involved a fantasy version of the civil rights movement that J Edgar Hoover would have loved. So I’ll call it as I see it as I make with the snark. Hope you’ll join me!

(Just a reminder to those dropping in, the money I get for writing the recaps doesn’t even cover my cable bill, so you’d like to help — I don’t accept donations, BUT you could buy one of my books for as low as 99 cents, OR my visit the webpage of my latest opus.)

Downton Abbey S5 E4 — Oh My God, Is Robert Right About a Thing?

Kay Gardella Memorial TV Review Blog, , , ,

Anyone whose been following my recaps knows I think his Lordship is kind of an ass, but this week except for ignoring his wife and belittling his middle child, he seemed kind of REASONABLE. Of course that’s in contrast to Tom’s potential squeeze, Miss Bunting, who is more caricature than character.

To read the full recap, please to head on over to Happy Nice Time People the best television blog on the internet. They should have it up any minute, and if they don’t, there’s lots of other stuff to read.

(Hey welcome to my blog. If you enjoy being here, you can thank me by downloading a FREE sample of my latest novel, and then if you like it, buy it. Did I mention you can get a free ebook with your paperback purchase?)

The Russians Are Coming, and Granny’s Got a Past

Kay Gardella Memorial TV Review Blog,

I am on vacation in some exotic location with limited internet access. But that won’t stop me from bringing you the latest in Downton Abbey recaps. So tune in over at Happy Nice Time People where they should have my take on episode 3 of the current season up soon.  Also while you are here, look around. Maybe you’ll see something else you’ll like.

Downtown Abbey S5 — Lord Grantham STILL an Idiot

Kay Gardella Memorial TV Review Blog, , ,

The Crowleys survived the Great War and the Spanish flu, but season five opens with a much bigger threat. This time, marrying a wealthy American half-Jewess or your poor relation cousin who is the actual heir won’t be enough to save Downton. It’s 1924, and omigod–THERE’S A LABOUR GOVERNMENT. The peasants are revolting! They are also leaving “service” for jobs that pay actual wages and have set hours. Lord Grantham is expecting a siege at any moment from people “devoted to the destruction of people like us and everything we stand for.”

To see the rest of this exciting, hysterical and hell yeah SNARKY recap of a show you probably saw months ago because of the intertubes please go over to Happy Nice People Time because they will give me money for writing and you won’t. Then come back here and look at more of my stuff, or better yet, just go here and buy this book which I wrote under a pen name because it’s SO GOOD I was embarrassed by my own unworthiness.)
