Netflix announced today that they picked up the critically acclaimed The Kominsky Method for a third season. That is the good news, but the sad news is that it will be its’ last season.
The dramedy stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin as two friends who are adjusting to life as they get older. Towards the end of the second season, Douglas was diagnosed with cancer. I bet you the series will end with him dying from it. It is a good way to go out.
Chuck Lorre, who created the show, has this to say about his Golden Globe winning show ending, “’The Kominsky Method’ has been a true passion project for me and it’s been an incredible experience to see the warm response from both audiences and critics. I’m excited to wrap up the story with this final chapter.”
Are you sad that we are only getting one more season?
Before Kirk Douglas was one of the biggest actors of the 20th Century, he got his start in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. Even when he was 29 in that 1946 movie, you can tell he has such star potential.
Today is Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas’ 20th wedding anniversary and his father had some words of advice to make their marriage last another 20.
Kirk Douglas wrote, “Michael, you learned a very important lesson, to stay married you must obey your wife.” Then he added, “Keep practicing what I do with my wife.” Considering he has been married to Anne Buydens for 65 years, it works.
Both men’s womanizing ways were tamed by their wives, so they learned to honor that part of the vows. I think they are too afraid to find out what happens if they do not.
Catherine Zeta-Jones wents as a sex siren from the Golden Age of the Silver Screen and you have to wonder if she is really 50 in that body-hugging dress that leaves very little the imagination. Doesn’t she look like she is ready to dazzle a red carpet in the ’50s instead of her being 50?
The actress and Michael Dou1glas brought back old school Hollywood glamor on Halloween. Which makes you wonder what type of throwback movie they could make together. Something that would make the Oscars voters vote for them again.
Chuck Lorre has given us some of the biggest comedies over the last 30 years: Dharma & Greg, Grace Under Fire, Cybill, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Mom and Young Sheldon. That is a lot of funny television.
Now he is teaming up with Netflix to give us a dramedy starring two huge movie legends. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin are partnering up in The Kominsky Method. The show is being described as, “On November 16, meet Sandy (Michael Douglas) and Norman (Alan Arkin), two lifelong friends who are navigating the ups and downs of life with humor, dignity, and some prostate trouble – reminding us that some friendships never get old.”
I think all of Lorre’s sitcoms have been leading up to this one show. The show that will finally change the perception that so many people have of him and realize he is one of the greatest executive producers to ever work in television.
Now the only thing I want to is will he do Vanity Cards for it?
