The Comeback

"What's this? This is entertainment? Well, as it turns out yes, yes it is, I was right."
Youtube VideoBack when it first came out I watched because Lisa Kudrow but it didn't grab me so much as confuse me. So it was with some trepidation I decided to check out The Comeback's comeback but I am so glad I did. I have gone back and watched all of the first season now ("I don't need to see that") and enjoyed it but this Season 2 is off the hook. Funny, cringe & more real than reality TV.
It's very rare that a 'comedy' gets me to feel real emotion but in the episode Valerie is Brought To Her Knees when she gives fake head to Seth Rogen I think my eyes were beginning to moisten I just felt so bad for her but then she saved it with that awkward grin.
If you haven't checked it out do, if only for the Rupaul & Andy Cohen scene but surely stick around for 'the blow job'. Don't need to have seen Season 1, just know that Valerie Cherish is a star!

I've really wanted to watch the whole series for a long time but haven't gotten around to it yet. I've heard great things about that episode and jumped to that scene in particular to check it out and it's really powerful; it's pretty amazing how Lisa Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, and their writers, have been able to come up with one of the most scathing criticisms of how Hollywood treats women in a show that isn't supposed to exist anymore.

The first time I watched that episdoe I drifted off during my first viewing but woke up because there was silence and assumed the show was over. Instead I had woken up during this scene and thought I was in Inception.
