i meant to watch the first day of the dem’s convention. really, i did. i even know what channel c-span is on my cable lineup. but then…

dead like me happened. i read a short blurb about jasmine guy’s character — kicking off the new season that started on sunday — and thought, “hmmm. i wonder if it’s any good?” so i went downstairs to the tv room, and watched the pilot episode (on demand is a nice thing).

it was hysterical. i watched a few more episodes, and then my husband came home. he, the guy who hates television, got completely sucked in. we watched another episode. and then another. and by midnight, we’d watched the first nine episodes.

yikes.

but it’s really good. honest. and i can always watch the speeches on c-span.org
