“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will
involve a review of (or commentary about) websites, movies, documentaries,
television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the
time. Be assured that these reviews will
be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come
Monday.” This is subject to change,
however. In fact, I would be most
derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
Well, I feel like I
need to explain some things at the very start of this. For most of you know me as being a most manly
man, and manly men do not generally celebrate the fairer sex for things other
than having the potential to be dynamite in the sack and actually being
dynamite in the sack, as well as being great at cooking and cleaning
house. Whereas, this piece will not be
touching upon any of those things.
Yeah, I know, ‘tis
a great shock to the senses. For this
piece is going to be about how much respect I have for the likes of [Mo’ne Davis] and the characters played by [Debra Messing] and [Tea Leoni] in their
new television series.
Okay, the absolute
truth of the matter truly is that I find both Debra Messing and Tea Leoni
HIGHLY attractive in a physical sense, but I would like to focus upon the
character of the characters they are now playing here. This should keep me out of trouble with
Arlynda—right?
My days as a leader
of manly men may be drawing to a close, however. For I have never been opposed to girls/women
being allowed to do anything they can truly do, and Mo’ne Davis can flat-out
pitch a baseball. So, there should not
be any obstacles to her moving on to play high school baseball (with and
against boys) if she chooses to, but it is my understanding that she dreams of
someday playing big-time college basketball on the [UConn] women’s team. Oh, and aside from being a great athlete,
little Miss Mo’ne acquitted herself splendidly during press conferences at the
last Little League World Series, which indicates to me that she is a great
person, as well.
The same can be
said of Laura, and if there are any doubts of Debra Messing being a consummate professional
when it comes to acting, her role in [The Mysteries of Laura] should put it to rest. For she is constantly being subjected to
rather humiliating situations.
Yeah, her appearing
on camera like that made me rethink just how attractive I find her, but some of
you may applaud her courage. There is
something seriously wrong with those who do, though.
Aside from scenes
like that, Arlynda and I have both enjoyed the first two episodes of the
show. The pilot episode tried too hard
to be humorous much of the time for my taste, but the second episode was more
palatable.
The show should be
a big hit to both sexes just on account of highlighting just how [catty] women
can be in certain situations. Of course,
I suppose snooty women would find that rather off-putting.
Be assured that
there is nothing catty about Tea Leoni’s character on [Madam Secretary]. For she goes about performing her duties with
great grace and dignity, and I especially appreciate her leaning quite heavily upon
the support of her husband, with them appearing to have a truly equal partnership
in their marriage.
No, the significance
of Tea looking like Hillary Clinton (although a MUCH more smoking hot version) while
doing her old job as the United States Secretary of State on the eve of the
next presidential election season is not lost on me. It is still a show well worth watching unless
you have too many tea parties to attend to.
Now, do you think ending
this with a great song might help smooth any feathers I may have ruffled? Alas, I am going to give it a try.
