Peter Tolan Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Oh please! That was just too much fun. Nirvana for this fan girl to catch up with 14-time Emmy Nominee, and two-time winner, Peter Tolan. In the midst of a Rescue Me re-binge, if you've never seen it or it's been years, do not pass go, run. Please. Brilliant, real, hysterical, terrifying, it's perfect TV. In my all-time top 5.

Peter, bless him, is opinionated and fearless in recounting people, events, and choices, which makes for great conversation and interweb TV. 

We started with his recent collaboration with Norman Lear, Guess Who Died, which did just that. With that loaded deck, it’s crazy that NBC pulled the plug. But, it dealt with older folk… who wants to represent them. Us. Hmmm. 

We talked his early days in theatre, sketch, cabaret, his early collaborations, a running theme throughout his career… from Linda Wallem, Garry Shandling, Dennis Leary, Billy Crystal, Paul Reiser, and the before mentioned Norman Lear, the man keeps good company. He earns it… and demands it. Breaking almost every rule, from his first spec script landing him a staff writing gig on that very show, unheard of, to getting producing credit before he earned it, an unearned Emmy as he calls it… to earning every one of those other 13 nods, and the nest Emmy Statue he took home. 

Fascinating, fun conversation about Carole Burnet, Murphy Brown, getting The Larry Sanders Show, connecting on The Job, creating and making Rescue Me, Analyze This with an intimidating Robert DeNiro, the Mad About You update, Helen Hunt, and the creative crisis Peter found himself in, just pre-pandemic, when two of his babies were thrown out with the bathwater. 

All-in-all, a lotta laughs, of course, there were… look at the man’s credits… a lot of insight, intelligence, and clarity. Damn, I had a good time. Enough of this, I have Season 3 episode 10 waiting for me.

Hey Inter people how are we today? I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and are ready to move on into the rest of this month and year. So here are my thoughts on last weeks questions, let me know what you think.

On Monday I asked about the TV show Murphy Brown and why are they rebooting yet another super old show? I vaguely remember that show, I wasn’t a big fan, and paid it no mind. My real thought is wow, this show like Roseann is so freaking old, the main cast is old and the ideas of the show are old. For what reason is it being put back one for? I mean are they really that hard up for TV ideas, well looking at other reboots I guess they are. Oh well, I’ll just keep trucking and pay it no mind I guess.

On Wednesday I asked about apps being used by kids, if they should come with stronger safety warnings. I think they should because just recently where I live I heard about a couple of stories where an electronic like a game app or I watch was hacked by a sick person and they were talking to kids asking them to meet them among other things. I really think that some apps should not be used by kids unless supervised by a parent. I think kids are vulnerable enough out on the streets that to have it coming from all over like the phone, games, computers etc is just sad. Parents as well as kids need to be very aware of who they communicate with as well as what they post now days.

On Friday I asked about YouTube’s world wide outage last month and if they ever said why it happened. I know is shocked the heck out of me, I was out for about an hour where I live. Was it cause by to many people being on the site, was it a glitch in the matrix, or what. I don’t have a channel myself but luckily it didn’t seem like the streamers lost anything in a big way, but I know it was very freaky to me since now I’m so used to watching reaction video’s there.

Let me know what you think and pass the thought along.

Candice Bergen's Golden Globes nomination is a nice tip of the hat to the "Murphy Brown" revival, even if the show didn't quite live up to its promise. Read our season review! http://bit.ly/2VyqkDu

#Repost @hillaryrodhamclinton1947 with @get_repost ・・・ ❤️PART 2 (make sure to watch part 1 as well everyone! Posted on my feed😘) ❤️"Murphy Brown" returned to TV on Thursday night(Sep 27, 2018) with help from another woman some people have missed seeing regularly. ❤️Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on the revival's premiere episode in a role that had not been formally announced before it aired. ❤️As part of the surprise appearance, Clinton played a woman -- named Hilary, with one "L" -- who was interviewing for a secretary position at Murphy Brown's new cable news show. (Of her resemblance, Clinton's character said, "I get that a lot.") ❤️ "Your reputation proceeds you, but I want you to know I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm qualified, and ready on day one," Clinton quipped. ❤️In the part, the former secretary of state flexed her comedy muscles, joking at one point she had been secretary "of a very large organization" for four years when asked about her experience. " ❤️She also noted, "I do have some experience with emails." ❤️Brown tells the candidate that she is "impressive" but "maybe a little over-qualified." Nonetheless, she takes her contact information. ❤️Her email?

Today, Live! Peter Tolan, Emmy Winning Writer/Producer of The Larry Sanders Show, one of the funniest shows, ever, Rescue Me, which we're currently re-binging––arguably (I'll argue) the greatest, most realistic series to deal with addiction and alcoholism, aside from being chilling, brilliant entertainment. Add to that Murphy Brown, another Emmy… Home Improvement, The Job, Ellen… A little film, called Analyze This… and,  Analyze That. I’ll be analyzing him… getting to the meat of how the hell this guy does it… over and over and over again. We’ll be cracking open his toolbox, sharing his tricks of the trade. Actually not tricks at all… treats for sure. As is he. I adore him.

Not saying it will actually happen but I’m currently into Building Lego sets. And I was just thinking about what a Murphy Brown bullpen and townhouse would look like in lego form. Lol
