Mad Men: The Illustrated World | Dyna Moe

Today‘s haiku is inspired by one of my favorite episodes of my all-time fave show, Mad Men. If you‘ve seen S3E7, Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency, you‘ll get me. 🤓

The Brits are coming;
never fear, Lois is here!
No more golf for Guy…

dabbe Okay, now I have to start a TV TBW list. I've heard wonderful things about this show, and your words just sold me! 🖤🐝🖤 19h

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe greatest show of all time! Although I may be biased 😬. It‘s a fantastic character study. I‘ve seen it 30+ times and I still catch new things on each rewatch. 🤓 19h

MemoirsForMe

Love, Lucy | Lucille Ball, Betty Hannah Hoffman

pick

Gotta Love Lucy! 🙌🏻This is the lost memoir Lucille Ball started to record at the height of her career. It was somehow forgotten & discovered 20+ years later after the passing of Lucy and Desi Sr. It‘s truly a love letter from this Hollywood legend to all her fans. Loved the sizzling Lucy & Desi love story and hearing about Lucy‘s enduring friendship with Vivian Vance. Daughter Lucie‘s narration & touching intro blew me away. (Published 1996)

MemoirsForMe I had no idea that the streets and retail stores around the country were empty whenever “I Love Lucy” aired on TV. It was THAT popular! 🤩 3d

Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 1w

I Love Lucy: The Complete Picture History of the Most Popular TV Show Ever, Authorized by the Lucille Ball Estate | Michael McClay

When I‘m having a bad day, nothing cheers me up more than I Love Lucy. Laughter is the best medicine! (This also happens to be my favorite episode, L.A. At Last! with the gorgeous William Holden 😍)

On my darkest days,
Lucy is balm for my soul.
I laugh through the tears.

dabbe I have the fondest memories of being home from college in the summer and eating lunch with my mom when she'd come home for her lunch break. ILL was on from 12-12:30, and we'd laugh and watch together. This episode is a fave (Ethel cutting Lucy's spaghetti is priceless). My all-time is the Vitameatavegamin episode. “Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?“ 🤣 Thanks for such a fun haiku. 🖤🐝🖤 3w

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe “Well are you??” 😅😅😅 that‘s my second favorite episode! I loved watching this with my grandma. And on Nick at Nite back in the day. Lucy is timeless. 💚💚💚 3w

Murder, She Wrote: Three Strikes and You're Dead | Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain

pick

Jessica is in Arizona cheering on the foster son of friends when murder happens. Of course it does—she attracts murder wherever she goes! The darker side of baseball is revealed, with sex, drugs, and gambling, not to mention prejudice and power purchased by wealth. Good escape reading. My April choice for #ThematicCozies

Taskmaster | Alex Horne

#MentalHealthMonday

1. Overall, rather anxious and disregulated. Having a hard time focusing on much at all. But the sun is shining, so that's something.

2. Binge watching Taskmaster Series on YouTube. There is very little that makes me cry tears of joyous laughter as readily as that.

Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever | Matt Singer

Fun and quick read about the guys who made watching arguments entertaining. 👍🏼 I always enjoyed “Siskel & Ebert” — they were smart, sharp and opinionated. In this bio Siskel comes across as a jerk, though. 👎🏼 The “pranks” he played on Ebert behind the scenes weren‘t very funny — it sounds more like bullying to me. 😖 Thanks to @JoeMo and #AuldLangSpine for putting this one on my radar!

JoeMo I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! I was always a bigger fan of Siskel back in the day for some reason (I could never really explain why) but his behind the scenes pranks definitely went too far sometimes. 3w
