Reserving Our Judgment

1/13/2021

When it comes to parenting, judge not, lest ye be complained about on a podcast. An article ostensibly about being a strict parent, but really about scolding others for not being strict enough, drew our ire this week.

What We’re Watching: ZEP “Zoey’s Extraordinary Return” and Veronica Mars “Welcome Wagon”

1/12/2021

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, the return of two of our series watches: The new-right-now Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (season 2), and ​the throwing-it-back-to-2006 Veronica Mars (season 3). Zoey has lost her dad, although he still appears in videos recorded before his death; but she has not lost her power to hear "heart songs" from the people around her. Next week: "Zoey's Extraordinary Distraction."

On Veronica Mars, Veronica and most of her friends, frenemies, and enemies have returned, and the action has moved from Neptune High School to Hearst College. Everything is still dark and confusing but at least we get a glimpse of Backup the dog. Mentioned: Veronica Mars Investigations podcast. Next week: "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week," which we'll watch without listening to the accompanying podcast episode for now.

1/8/2021

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: Nicole's Instagram Minute returns with @ZillowGoneWild for a dose of real estate humor.

And Catherine traded in her ancient Fitbit Flex for a Fitbit Inspire 2, which is, in fact, pretty inspirational.
