Larry Brody: Live! From Paradise! #94 “First Snow of the Season”

THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to  the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.

In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.

Oh, and if y’all detect any irony, please believe me when I say it comes straight from the universe and not your kindly Uncle Larry B. read article

HBO Gives Us a Peek at Its Upcoming Reboot of Perry Mason

Time for an LB admission. Never in a million years would I have imagined this particular re-imagining of the classic series – and character – known as Perry Mason.

Were there really books and stories where the archetypal criminal defense attorney was a film noirish private eye? If so, well, then, I’ll be damned. If not, well then, let the damnation fall on whatever genius HBO executive who thought this was something the world needed.

‘The Good Fight”

As long as you’re feeling stressed why not watch ‘The Good Fight? You’ll still be stressed but you’ll also be laughing!

by Larry Brody

The fourth season of CBS All Access’ biggest hit, and absolutely its best show, The Good Fight began last week, and episode 2 of season 4 will be on tomorrow, Thursday, April 16th.

It’s a wonderfully written series, created by Robert King, Michelle King, and Phil Alden Robinson, and has absolutely the best cast on TV.

Yeah, I know you have to pay for it, but it’s more than worth $5.99 or, if you don’t want to watch commercials – and who does? – $10.99 per month. If you start watching now, you’ll be able to see the first three seasons and at least three of the current season’s delights. read article
