Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a comic master and is willing to do anything, including doing a scene clad only in a bra and pants and putting ice pops in her armpits. The "peri-menopause episode" was so funny that I saved it on our DVR and re-watched it with my husband last night.
But does anyone else just LOVE the mean Moms on The New Adventures of Old Christine and think they steal every show?
They are every parent's dream/nightmare. We WANT them to handle Cotillion, PTA, being the Room Mom, etc. But we don't want them to judge us slacker Moms for being, um, slackers!
Marly: Oh, yeah, my nanny just went through the change, too.
Lindsay: Wait, I thought your nanny had a heart attack.
Marly: Well, she was sweaty and missed two days of work—I don't know.
And the "peri-menopause episode" gave a sweaty, hormone-driven Christine the opportunity to tell these women off:
Christine: (to Marly and Lindsay) Listen, I have taken your crap for the last three years, and I'm gonna tell you something. If you ever make Ritchie feel unwelcome, or embarrass him, again, I would be thrilled for the opportunity to kick your sorry, tanned, bleach blond, Botox asses back to your tacky McMansions and your loveless marriages. You got that?
Christine and 30 Rock are the only two TV shows that have held my interest since the writers' strike.
