That health problem is still ongoing, alas. Currently waiting for an appointment to verify that we need to take the next step. Even though nothing has changed since the last appointment. UGH. At least I haven't missed any additional days of work yet.
Anyway. A recommendation! Season one of Abbott Elementary is on Hulu - 13 episodes of charming and gently comical elementary teachers working at an inner city Philly school. There's a built-in problem with two characters - a matter of writers who either didn't know how a specific education thing works, or didn't care. But it's clearly not a deal breaker for me.
Also, writer, show runner and lead actor Quinta Brunson won an Emmy for "Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series". Huzzah! Terry Gross interviewed her back in February, and learned that Brunson's appreciation for elementary teachers and love of Philadelphia are deeply rooted in her childhood.
Another cast member won an Emmy for her supporting role; the video of Sheryl Lee Ralph accepting her win is worth watching.
The show returns for season two in late September, with weekly episodes. IMDB indicates that there will be 22 this time? Huh. At any rate, I'll probably binge-watch in the spring, because I'm ready for the hop to the next streaming platform. Probably Apple TV? I've been meaning to try that for months now... better hurry up and finish Only Murders in the Building before I run out of time.
