On our latest weekly roundup, we have a special guest star. Nicole is back for a cameo appearance!
What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "The White Room" was not about expensive Manhattan real estate, but about stage fright (and there was a catchy song). On The Afterparty, "Feng" brought some surprising subtlety from Ken Jeong, even in the midst of a lot of TikTok videos. Catherine's library find this week is another nonfiction series for kids that she found disturbing--actually, there are at least two series in the same vein, so we have concerns. Mentioned: "The Wolverines" on Saturday Night Live from October 11, 1975, and whether gophers and groundhogs are the same critters. In the archives, we revisit chats on our best school strategies (September 2, 2021), back-to-school emotions (September 3, 2020), and what was left out of the parenting manual (August 28, 2015). We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E9 of The Afterparty ("Isabel") and S3 E5 of Only Murders in the Building (“Ah, Love!”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on a couple of milestones: losing a landline and gaining a new capacity for passive-aggressive commentary.
What we're watching: On Only Murders in the Building, "Grab Your Hankies" brought some quite awkward efforts at investigating Ben's murder (involving hiding in curiously roomy furniture and asking transparent questions). On The Afterparty, "Ulysses" gave us a melodramatic dance movie send-up and some shady behavior from Zoe's family. Catherine's library find this week is Cutting Teeth by Chandler Baker. This mystery/thriller novel's flap copy grabbed her attention with its talk of bloodthirsty, murderous four-year-olds. Yes, preschoolers! In the archives, we revisit chats on spending priorities (August 22, 2022), the costs of raising kids (August 21, 2019), and the school-supply scavenger hunt (August 27, 2014). We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E8 of The Afterparty ("Feng") and S3 E4 of Only Murders in the Building (“The White Room”).

On our latest weekly roundup, we check in on social events, with kids and without; at this point, sharing a fast-food lunch with a friend is a special treat.
What we're watching: Only Murders in the Building is back! Season 3 started with a fake-out death and then a real murder that was, conveniently, in the building. We're looking forward to following along as our heroes solve the mystery. On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Danner's Fire," gave us very little to go on in terms of mystery-solving, so we felt pretty cheated. Catherine's library find this week is a children's book that you have to see to appreciate. It's Lou, the story of an anthropomorphic fire hydrant. In the archives, we revisit chats on pride and parenting (August 15, 2022), college in the olden days (August 16, 2021), and kids' activities we enjoyed (August 17, 2018). We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E7 of The Afterparty ("Ulysses") and S3 E3 of Only Murders in the Building (“Grab Your Hankies”). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you!
On our latest weekly roundup, we check in with our furry family members. Terri's dog is making friends, and Catherine's are making enemies.
What we're watching: On The Afterparty, this week's episode, "Sebastian," was a heist caper, complete with double-crosses, switcheroos, and high-stakes Connect 4 games. On Brothers & Sisters, "Prior Commitments" brought us another wedding, and another secret sibling?! Catherine's library find this week is a heavy, expensive-looking coffee table book featuring black-and-white portraits of chickens accompanied by quotations from literary classics. How are the two connected? Literary Chickens leaves that up to the reader. In the archives, we revisit chats on the emptying nest (August 12, 2021), those little-kid days (August 13, 2018), and summer transitions (August 7, 2015). We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E6 of The Afterparty ("Danner's Fire") and the season premiere of Only Murders in the Building, which is back for season 3 (the episode is "The Show Must..."). If you miss hearing from us every single day, the archives await you! Weekly Roundup: “Barbie,” “The Afterparty,” “Brothers & Sisters,” Cute Vegetables, and Teamwork8/1/2023
On our latest weekly roundup, we start with the unavoidable cultural onslaught that is Barbie, the movie (which allowed us to reminisce about the Barbies of our youth). Mentioned: One of Greta Gerwig's previous movies, Lady Bird, which we discussed back in 2018.
What we're watching: We continue with The Afterparty's "Hannah," a pitch-perfect take on Wes Anderson films that introduces some important new information, but doesn't seem to bring us closer to discovering the killer. On Brothers & Sisters, season 2 hurtles to its conclusion by tossing out or reversing just about everyone's storyline. Catherine's library finds include one cynical pick, the Behind the Brand series for young titans of industry, and one adorable one: The fruit and veggie tales of Jared Chapman (Vegetables in Underwear, Vegetables in Pajamas, and Fruits in Suits). In the archives, we revisit chats on what's keeping us up at night (August 3, 2022), our teamwork dreams (August 4, 2021), and household hacks (August 3, 2020). Mentioned: Oats Overnight. We'll be back with a new episode next Tuesday. Our TV watch will cover S2 E5 of The Afterparty ("Sebastian") and S2 E16 of Brothers & Sisters ("Prior Commitments").
