What We’re Watching: Ted Lasso “Mom City” and Brothers and Sisters “Two Places”

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, Ted Lasso approaches the end of season 3 (and possibly the entire series) with an episode that could alternatively be titled "Parents: They'll Mess You Up." Mentioned: The Philip Larkin poem Mae recites to Ted, "This Be the Verse," and Alan Sepinwall and the commenters on his Substack newsletter. Next: S3 E12, "So Long, Farewell."

On Brothers and Sisters, the brothers currently are doing more messing up than the parents, although there is plenty of messing up to go around. And we assume there will continue to be on the next episode, S2 E7, "36 Hours."

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from August 2019.
​
It's easy to obsess when our kids make big choices, like what college major to declare or what career to pursue. The hardest part might be deciding when to let it become their obsession instead of ours.

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Terri recommends two Ashley McBryde songs, with accompanying videos, that are fun, fiery, and female-empowering: "Brenda Put Your Bra On" and "Bonfire at Tina's." Nicole's touching up her color with L'Oreal Paris Magic Root Cover Up Spray. And Catherine watched the Bridgerton spin-off/prequel Queen Charlotte on Netflix.

On this week's entertainment- themed episode, a delightful episode of Ted Lasso featured many character breakthroughs and lovely scenes, plus the return of Phoebe! Mentioned: Sam Richardson in The Afterparty. Next: S3 E11, "Mom City."

On Brothers and Sisters, more bad decisions, more secrets kept and revealed, and more accusations of bad mothering. So, par for the course. Next: S2 E6, "Two Places."
