When I was a kid, Garfield was my favorite comic strip. To this day, I stand behind his first six treasury collections. And 40 years ago today, he debuted:

Newest Xmastime BBC Slice du Jour

I just started watching After Henry, a show featuring Fawlty Towers' Prunella Scales (in a role that couldn't be further from Sybil Fawlty) that while funny, also shares The Vicar of Dibley's cozy warmth. After only two episodes, this article from January rings true:

The most striking thing of all about After Henry is how unassumingly ahead of its time it seems. Today, if ITV did a very cosy mainstream comedy in which the four main characters were three roundly-written women and a non-cliched, sympathetic gay man, it would be so ordinary it would hardly raise comment.

The fact that this kind of characterisation made it into a Thames Television production in the 1980s without apparent opposition, is remarkable. If there was any executive pushing for Clare to be a boy, or Russell to be a sexless old bachelor, their attempts were thwarted.

After Henry is available in its entirety on DVD and worth checking out if you’re an admirer of any of the contributors. 30 years on, of course it looks a little dated – particularly Clare’s fashions. However in a polite, gentle, well-spoken way, it’s a programme that challenges so subtly, that most of the audience barely noticed as preconceived ideas were toppled.

It may never sit at the top table of British sitcoms, but After Henry after three decades is very deserving of a new appreciation.

Highly recommended - 2 Xmas trees up!

The 2018 World Cup is a great excuse to post the time Beckham recreated Del Boy's iconic bar scene. :)

Was The White Shadow the first in the now-long line of “white teacher comes to black neighborhood and changes lives” tropes?

Chats with a 6 Year-Old

Her: what happens when you get to 100?
Me: most people don’t make it to 100. I won’t come close, & since I’ll die alone it’ll take weeks for someone to notice I’m gone & find me.
Her: (long pause, staring at me) no, I mean does it go 100, 101, 102, 103...?

Life. It's Really Happening, Isn't It?

Actual thought I just had: "Damn that lasagna on Monday was good."

Is it even possible to see this without reading it in a vampire voice?
