"The Office" | Recaps for All Seasons
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. While I modestly feel that I did some kickass recaps of NBC's "The Office" Season 3, I soon learned that doing a proper recap is one hell of a time-consuming undertaking. Furthermore, a certain well-known famously snarky television website that watches TV so you don't have to----previously dead set against recapping any comedy----decided to make an exception, and recapped not only Season 4 but all previous seasons. So that niche was closed anyway. Find out more here. And read my recaps. Even if you've never seen the show, you'll enjoy them!
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. Hollywoodland, a consideration of the still unexplained death of actor George Reeves, was an excellent film. I didn't even remember ordering it from Netflix and my expectations weren't all that high, but I was totally pulled in within the first ten minutes or so. Ben Affleck was amazing (ditto the always amazing Bob Hoskins). Nicholas gave it a 5 out of 5. 
THE FLATLAND CHRONICLES/CROSS-POSTED TO JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. I know I go on a lot about The Animaniacs, Spielberg's cartoon tour de force from the Nineties. If you've closely watched them, you'll understand why. If not, have a look at this. Check them out 
ANGLO-SAXON ATTITUDES (cross-posted to PEACH). Prompted by an internet acquaintance, I gave some love to British comedian/character actor Harry Enfield (here). If you're American, you haven't heard or seen enough of him. Fortunately, you can do so now on Netflix. (
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. Nicholas, who knows jazz and the jazz age, has posted a clip of jazz dancing back when the phrase really meant something. 
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. You know that writer's strike that just won't go away? The networks are responding by putting on a slough of reality shows, many entertainingly bad. How to cope with them? By doing this: don't watch, read. This one, recapped by Potes of Television without Pity, is one I'd prefer to watch unfold in the safety of my own brain which---unlike these participants---has boundaries. 
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH/ANGLO-SAXON ATTITUDES. If you're American, you probably haven't heard of Albert Pierrepont, Britain's most famous hangman. As played by Timothy Spall in The Last Hangman, he is not the executioner you'd expect, but a kind-hearted and humane one, whose principle objective was to spare even the worst criminals any unnecessary fear or pain and who firmly believed that by paying the ultimate price, even the worst of the worst (e.g., the Nazis he hanged) reclaimed their dignity. It is quite an extraordinary film, though not exactly a feel-good movie. 
JUST EAT THE DAMN PEACH. Another reason you need to get 
Though I'm a woman of a certain age, I haven't lost all awareness of what my grandmother used to refer to as "the opposite S-E-X." In fact, quite the reverse. We live in a society that believes that sex is only about sex, and is therefore the province of youth. For which I have two words: "Madame Pompadour." 
It's cheating a bit, but I want to find a way to get the peach page going without spending so damn much time on it. The Office recaps were fun, but they took forever---ditto anything approaching a review, such as the ghost story series. Since Television without Pity is now covering The Office all the way back to the beginning---though I wish they'd got Jacob to do it----it's gone from a task with little point to a task with none at all.
