The ’80s Called and Want You to Leave a Message
Goldbergs creator (and star of sorts) Adam F. Goldberg delivered yet another insanely awesome flashback to 1980s-something wrapped in network sitcom gold.
Without diving deep into the episode, which has been done in the past, tonight’s post will be light-hearted and brief. This despite the engaging premise of the older sister-younger brother favor disguised as a hang-out. This dynamic rings especially true as a younger brother who has always been a die-hard movie fan (generally, not just the movie Die Hard).
Instead, I want to draw your attention to something quite simple and straightforward from the October 18, 2017, episode of The Goldbergs. A phone number appears during a (spoiler-free) moment that is presumed to be as fictional as certain parts of the episode exaggerated for comedic and dramatic effect. However, Adam F. Goldberg and Co. know their fans because they are fans themselves. Therefore, they prepared and I’m glad they did.
Here’s the number, so dial with your landline now.
(215) 883-4400
Notice the area code above is Philadelphia, PA. Well played, Adam F. Goldberg, well played.
Thank goodness ABC employed some nerds for its primetime television programming, despite that whole “pantry-raiding” incident.
Happy Monday
Larry David.
Alright, after you’re done chuckling to yourself recalling a funny Seinfeld episode featuring Larry David’s old TV-self George Costanza, enjoy the new TV-version of Larry David called…Larry David.
This has me thinking one thing:
How much wood would Jerry Seinfeld chuck if Larry David could not bear to chuck wood?
(Insert Jerry Seinfeld’s famed arm gesture) “Larry!”
Lesson? Be goofy and roll with your absurdity. Why? It’s highly entertaining.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
The Even More Unlimited and Extended Labor Day Blog Post
Hopefully, you had a nice, relaxing Labor Day.
Following a long holiday weekend, it can be laboring to return to the working grind. There are several (even countless) tasks that need to be sorted out on a Tuesday that puts on a rare mask and acts like a Monday, characterized by moments of exhaustion and stress.
And yet, because this workweek started on a Tuesday, there’s this feeling within us that it’s not really a Monday in approach and tendency. Despite the routine being similar to Monday, there’s an extra breath of relief because Wednesday is tomorrow…and then Thursday arrives…and then Friday is here before we know it!
Coming off a long holiday weekend, kicking off our weekly routine on a Tuesday gives us a bounce in our step. We don’t sweat (as many of) the small things. However, those ever-present Monday traits find subtle and bold ways of reminding us exactly what day it really is.
Like this.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is any Tuesday after a long holiday weekend.
