I flew United Airlines this week, and was lucky enough to catch a preview of the new John Lithgow/Jeffrey Tambor sit-com called “20 Good Years.” (This was not Laptop Television; it was Toddler Television.)
I have to say… it was really funny. I love Lithgow and Tambor, but could not picture them together. The duo really works. Lithgow showed his “Third Rock” style of humor (and even broke out a Speedo); Tambor broke out his “Jeffrey P. Brooks III” (and was great). I can actually say that I laughed out loud (and this was an all-day trip with a 22-month-old kid.)
The only character that did not work for me was the woman who plays Lithgow’s daughter Stella. She over-acted the part and was not believable.
I will certainly set my TiVo when “20 Good Years” hits the Fall line-up on NBC.
(TypePad is driving me nuts… sorry for the whacked formatting.)
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.




I can’t wait to Tivo this too. I was sooo disappointed when Arrested Development went off the air. At least now I can catch Jeffrey Tambor somewhere else!
