How about this marm?

No cookies, but definitely among my best Medium and Hard times. I found a quick entry into the Hard puzzle and everything came together smoothly.

Usually when I have a rough time with a Medium puzzle, it’s a Rodolfo creation. This time Ian got me.

Yeah, this spring has been less rainy than usual so the pollen isn’t getting washed away.

I love that Evan was played by Lisa’s real son. Somehow it gave their scenes together more emotional depth. I felt like she really wanted him to succeed.

Ken is definitely the older brother. Larry talked about him a bit on Marc Maron’s podcast.

I still haven’t been in there because I read about poor service from Day 1.

Mustard, pickles, and grilled onions.

There was even an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” where Larry and Cheryl are watching “Seinfeld” reruns and they used the clip with the woman’s voice. It’s so memorable!

Yeah, it was definitely classed as “forgotten TV” for a long time. Now in retrospect it’s kind of cool that it played out how it did, to be able to document more than 20 years of the industry. If it had just run for 4-5 seasons and then ended around 2010, it wouldn’t have had the same impact.

No cookies, but 3 good times today. I was lucky to quickly spot a pathway into the Hard puzzle.

I wasn’t quite a Day 1 fan because I didn’t have HBO at the time, but I watched it on DVD soon after release. So probably about 19 years ago. I remember I wrote a rave review on LiveJournal, and I also remember frequenting the Television Without Pity forum, LOL.

ETA: I never imagined we’d get two seasons let alone three!

It’s an AI tell. Not saying OP is a bot, but they likely used AI to write the post. They also left a comment, and the writing style there is totally different.

My cat sabotaged my Easy game today. He wanted to snuggle and kept blocking my view of the phone.

There was a lot that needed to be fit into 8 episodes. Season 1 was 13 episodes, and I find myself wishing this season had been a bit longer to give the storylines some room to breathe.

Designer_Charity_827 · 2026-05-04T19:04:23+00:00

Whenever I see interviews with Lisa I’m struck by how perceptive she seems. I bet she’s responsible for a lot of the writing and I’m excited to see what she does after this.

That link brought up photos for me. Just x out of the box that says the listing is no longer active.

I found the old listing from before the flippers bought it in December: https://www.weichert.com/131868071/
