Long Story Short, an animated family dramedy

Long Story Short could have been a long story. If it were a novel it would be a generations-long family saga about a Jewish family of about 800 pages. This animated TV series manages to explore the entire family and even a few secondary characters in 10 concise half hour episodes. […]

#Seinfeld 070 (1993) - 8/10
❝A woman that hates me this much comes along once in a lifetime.❞

1️⃣ #LisaEdelstein is back for her second episode as Karen. #JenniferCoolidge also guest stars. This is her first IMDb credit.

2️⃣ All the storylines are good, but none really take off.

#Seinfeld 062 (1993) - 9/10
❝The apples are mealy, the oranges are dry. I don’t know what’s going on with the papayas!❞

1️⃣ This episode is mostly about sex and orgasms but, except for a few references, they never say outright what they are actually talking about. It’s quite brilliant.

2️⃣ #LisaEdelstein (#AlmostPerfect, #House) guests. She will be back one more time.

3️⃣ Not one of the classic episodes, but hilarious nonetheless.

📺 My 438th #TVReview of 2023. Averaging 2h18m of TV, per day.

#AlmostPerfect s1e8 (1995) - 8/10

1️⃣ All the best/funniest scenes are the ones with #LisaEdelstein as Patty and #ChipZien as Gary. In sharp contrast to our smitten protagonists, they are a couple who fight all the time. And their dialogue is hilarious.

2️⃣ This constant bickering spills over into the romance of Mike and Kim. But the battlegrounds they fight on (salaries, children) are too cliched to make much impact on the viewer. Still a funny episode, however.

UPDATE: I sent it out during the midmorning break, because I wasn't going to write any better by evening.
