Update: This piece was written before more details were unearthed in regards to Shrills unexpected cancellation. But I still stand by writing this ramble of thoughts. With the biggest sigh I can give, it is official - I've finished all of Hulu's Shrill. The groundbreaking series, inspired by Lindy West's book and starring Aidy Bryant, was indeed a ride. From the painfully genuine laughs, the emotional mountains to climb, and all of the awkward romance in between, there hasn't been or may ... VIEW POST

Favorites Ala Mode: The Muppets
Some of the things you'll find in this blog series relate to what I love currently. But a few topics - especially this one - relate to what made me, well, me.

“For Ed” – a Love Letter to a Nostalgic Crush and Hero
In the spirit of nostalgia coming back to TV (I'm looking at you, Twin Peaks) I felt it important to take my own stroll down memory lane and present a little love letter to a show (and specific character) that I hope makes a return at some point.
