Before Goldie Hawn won an Oscar, she was on the variety show Laugh-In. The late ’60s and early ’70s weekly comedy show had people laughing until hurt, and she was one of their brightest stars.
Therefore, you would think that Netflix would have included her in their special Still LAUGH-IN: The Stars Celebrate. However, for some reason, she is not there. While Dick Martin and Dan Rowan have a good excuse for not being part of it (they are no longer with us), there is no excuse for her not being part of it.
While she is not in to laugh, Lily Tomlin, Ruth Buzzi and JoAnne Worley will be. They will be joined by a bunch of people who were born or not even born when it originally aired. People like Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish, Chelsea Handler, Taye Diggs, Maria Bamford, Margaret Cho, Ron Funches, Nikki Glaser, Lisa Ann Walter, Mary McCormack, Bobby Moynihan, Cheri Oteri, Rob Riggle, Jeff Ross, Tony Hale and Natasha Leggero.
I wish the networks would bring back variety shows like this and the other ones from the ’60s and ’70s. I used to love watching them in syndication when I was growing up. They taught me how to laugh and we need more laughter in the world.
ABC impeached Designated Survivor and Netflix elected to give it a third season. Today, they released the first trailer for the new season, that begins streaming on June 7th, and I am blown away. Just like all the elected officials, but President Kirkman, were in the pilot episode.
Designated Survivor had a great first half season, but then they changed showrunners a few times and the show was not about his presidency. Instead, it was about conspiracies and attacks. It lost its heart.
It does not look like it will be like it was when it was great. However, it might be even better because it looks like an engaging political thriller.
Kiefer Sutherland plays the President like one America desperately needs. Too bad he is Canadian. But if Ted Cruz can run, why can’t he?
Santa Clarita Diet was a scrumptious show, but it was not yummy enough for Netflix to order a fourth season. The streaming service cancelled the show that was a different take on the Zombie story. Drew Barrymore ate some bad clams and she became a member of the walking dead. Instead of using her hunger for bad, she ate bad people. Her husband, Timothy Olyphant was very supportive of her in all ways. Except one, and that was become a Zombie too. That is until something happened and she has no choice to get a taste of him and that was the end of the show. In a way it felt like a natural conclusion, and yet I wanted more.
If Netflix keeps cancelling the shows I watch, I can’t justify (no pun) paying the extra dollar. Especially when there are so many options coming out in the next year.
Adam Sandler was answering Ellen DeGeneres’ burning questions and she wanted to know which of his leading ladies is a better kisser, Drew Barrymore or Jennifer Aniston? Since he only plays a schmuck in movies, he rightfully answered that question by saying Chris Rock. Rock was not the answer to the previous question, so I guess the Water Boy did not want to leave the Diva out. Well, Rock is not as big as a Diva as David Spade according to Sandler. The more you know.
Another reason why Sandler might not have answered the question is that he has a Netflix movie coming out with Aniston on June 14th. If he said Barrymore that would not have been the only Murder Mystery in Jen’s life.

Santa Clarita Diet is back for a third season on Netflix today and it is so delicious. You don’t have to be a Zombie to want to eat up this show.
The season premiere picks up the next day and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and Joel Hammond (Timothy Olyphant) are dealing with the repercussions from the night beforehand. You know when their cop neighbor (Natalie Morales) finds them burying a body and holding Gary’s (Nathan Fillion) talking head in the desert. Thankfully, she is a religious person and gets a sign, a huge explosion, and thinks that Sheila is a prophet. Therefore, Anne wants to help them now. But the couple cannot tell her Sheila is a Zombie. It is better for Anne if she just thinks that Sheila is invincible.
Talking about that explosion, Sheila and Joel’s daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson) and her BFF Eric (Skyler Gisondo) are the ones who caused it. This season, they will have to do everything in their power not to be caught by the FBI who suspects them. All while trying to help her parents not get caught in general. That is a lot for any high school student to handle and yet they are much more mature than their parents.
If only trying to keep those secrets was all they had to deal with, but it is not. The Knights of Serbia have to come to Santa Clarita and they want to kill all the Zombies. Guess who is on their list? Sheila! She and Joel have to find a way to keep her secret from them as they try to find a way to kill her.
Then there is Ron (Jonathan Slavin), he wants to live forever too. Therefore, he comes up with a way to do it. What happens when he is one of the undead? He does things that will cause a lot of problems for everyone because he is Ron.
These are just a few of the many crazy things that happen this season on the endearing show, and you don’t want to miss a single minute of it.
Did I mention Ball Legs is let out of the freezer and starts to run free? That will cause them to have a lot of explaining to do. Also, Linda Lavin has a great role in the series and it is her best role since Alice.
One more thing, pay attention to each episode because it all comes together for the season finale. It is a brilliant mapping of events and people that all lead to one moment that ties the whole season together.
Plus, a great final moment that sets up for next season. Which we better get Netflix.
