Back in January, I fell in love, actually I became obsessed, with a show called Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. There is so much I adore about it. One of the things I love most is the sweet chemistry between Mary Steenburgen and Peter Gallagher, who play spouses. Her character has become her husband’s caregiver because he is suffering from a rare neurological disorder that has left him trapped in his own body. Even though he cannot communicate, you can still tell that the couple understands, and, more importantly, they love each other.
Their love is my relationship goal. That is until I went to donate platelets, and decided to watch the sixth season of Grace & Frankie while I was there. I knew that Gallagher is playing Jane Fonda’s husband on the comedy. What I found out is that Steenburgen is playing his ex on the show.
Now I am totally confused. It is weird going from watching four episodes of them playing a happily married couple to happily divorced co-workers. Therefore, I had to know, was it planned? I got on Twitter and asked them.
Steenburgen told me, “Not planned but lovely, all the same.” When it comes to Gallagher, he responded with, “So lovely and so lucky. xo.”
If she and Ted Danson were not one of Hollywood’s most admired married couples for almost 25 years, and he was not happily married to Paula Wildash since 1983; then I would say that Hollywood is trying to tell them something. However, it is actually telling us something.
We need to watch them in, my favorite new show of the season, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist every Sunday at 9p on NBC, and Grace & Frankie on Netflix. Can we talk about how this season ended?!?
KJ Apa finally had his cherry popped when he got to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for the first time today. Why now? He got cheeky with her when he showed her his peach during a birthday message he recorded for the talk show host. He knew that Ellen was going to see his a$$ in the reflection of the window on his balcony. It did not bother him because he was sure he had the best video of the bunch. He did.
Good thing, he is going to get Ellen underwear for being on the show. He is definitely going to need a pair. Not because he likes to send naked videos. It is because she scared the crap out of the New Zealand actor who was making fun of her wife’s country/continent Australia.
The Riverdale star got so frightened he jumped out of his chair and ran around it. Then when his heart returned to a normal rhythm, he laughed about it in a way that is so endearing. It left a huge smile on my face as big as his buttcrack.
I bet he is so happy he finally got to be on the show after that.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they had a whole category dedicated to Survivor, and Jeff Probst read the questions. They did this in honor of the competition show celebrating its 40th season and 20th year on television.
When they were done with the category (that I totally sucked at), Alex Trebeck had something to say. He told the cameras, “I can’t believe that Survivor has been on the air four years longer than Jeopardy. And Jeff has not changed one bit in appearance. And look at me. I need a break.”
After the break, he had something else to say, “I am feeling so relieved. I found out during the commercial break that Survivor, although it’s in its 40th season right now, it’s only in its 20th year. So I’m feeling like I am looking pretty good, after all.” I will take, that he is for $2,000.
The tribe has spoken, and Alex Trebeck is such a treasure. How can you not love him? It is nice to see him make a joke at his expense, and then a better one when it wasn’t.
Back in the ’80s, everyone wanted to have a neighbor like Monroe, and an apartment like Jackie and Sara Rush’s thanks to their show Too Close for Comfort. Even though that style went out of fashion, the friendship between Jim J. Bullock, Deborah Van Valkenburgh, and Lydia Cornell did not.
This weekend, the three co-stars got together and had a meal together just like they did when they lived with the TV sisters’ parents. Since they are still friends, why can’t we a revival with them? They all come together because someone wants to bring back Cosmic Cow and needs their permission.
BTW can you believe that they are all over 65? Not one of them looks older than they did when they were on the sitcom in the early ’80s.
