Thanks to Wicked, we know the story of Elpheba and Glinda’s unlimited friendship. In Elphie, we learn what the Wicked Witch of the West was like before she met Galinda. And now it is time for the Good Witch to tell her tale before she became the Girl in the Bubble.
Gregory Maguire, the author of the Wicked franchise, will be releasing his newest novel, Galinda: A Charmed Childhood, in the Fall.
Harper Collins describes it as: “Who was Glinda the Good Witch before she floated down in her bubble to greet Dorothy? Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp’s magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University?
“Well, before then, she was Galinda. With a ‘ga.’
“Galinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliché—offering fans of Wicked their first richer glimpse into the life of a beloved and iconic character.”
Now, who is going to turn Elphie and Galinda into Broadway musicals so I can get the movies?
Kim Kardashian made her leading lady debut in All’s Fair, and some critics declared it the worst show ever. Even though people hate watching it, they are watching it. Therefore, Hulu and Ryan Murphy announced today that the legal procedural about female divorce attorneys, which also stars Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close, will be back for a second season.
I have to admit the first two episodes that dropped were absolute dreck, the latter three have been much better.
Murphy was having his Capote moment in those first two episodes with his swans, and now he is back doing wild and wacky storylines with stunt casting, instead of forcing us to listen to what vaginal plastic surgery Kim Kardashian got. Yes, that was actually a topic during a scene on the show.
Thankfully, she is doing less acting (if that is what you can call it). Good thing she has her law career to fall back on. Too soon? Plus, he gave Nash a storyline that made the series watchable.
Are you still hate watching, or do you not hate yourself as much as I do?
Before everybody loved Ray Romano, David Letterman fell in love with him during his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Do you see what Letterman saw in the 37-year-old in that 1995 appearance?
Tonight at 9:30p on CBS, DMV gets a special episode after the Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion.
Did you know the DMV has a magazine that celebrates the best of the DMV, and that for the third year in a row, Beau (Randall Park) and his North Hollywood DMV are on the cover?
As soon as Barb (Molly Kearney), the gullible, pushover manager of East Hollywood DMV, sees that, she gets her workers together and suggests they go there on their lunch break to see what NoHo is doing that Least Hollywood (Beau’s words, not mine) isn’t doing.
What could go wrong when our lovable, dysfunctional E-Ho workers, goody two shoes Collette (Harriet Dyer), troublemaker Vic (Tony Cavalero), sexy newbie Noa (Alex Tarrant), and over-it Gregg (Tim Meadows), show up at their competing DMV that has everything they don’t? Just what you think will happen, but only worse.
And that is why I have been enjoying DMV so much. I went in with low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it is.
Yes, they suck at their jobs. But would you expect any less from DMV employees? Nope! Everyone hates the DMV, but this show almost makes me want to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
If only they had one in North Hollywood like the one they have on tonight’s episode, I would go. But just like the show, that office is fiction. Our closest office is in Glendale, and it is nowhere as nice as East Hollywood. And yes, there is only a Hollywood DMV, and not one E-Ho. There is a lot of lying going on at CBS when it comes to the DMV.
Back to the sitcom. If you have never seen it, tonight is a great episode to start with. And then you can see why I am loving and not hating the show about one of the universally most-hated places in the United States.
