A Few

[ateolf]

In the late afternoon Mary Beth and I went up to Overton Park for a nice walk through the forest and around the pond. A little later we went up to Fresh Market just to kill some time and look around (and get more of these delicious cookies we got the last time we were there). We ended the night by watching some Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

I can HEAR the "Mary Hartman! Mary Hartman!" in my head. I've never even seen an episode, but somehow I know that intro.

Hah. It's a good show and you should watch it if you're able (though my wife had to buy the whole box set to be able to watch it all...I know there are at least a few episodes that are able to be seen online).

for me it was AT ALL, to be clear. i tried and tried and couldn't any other way. things may have changed since then, or the usual, let's be frank the internet is not the same for each of us access-wise.

and also, per the way the format it leaps from works and how it chose to use that format innovatively (pre-twin peaks!!!) for its own "further" ends, it's much better episodically, not a rando slice out of nowhere (which is why, the scant allusions and comments left intact online i could find about it at all, are as paltry as just, oh point and laugh at "waxy yellow buildup" or peanut butter, and nothing beyond that level of (non-)response, or even like so often straight up missing the point of some of the scathing satire and falling right into it earnestly, a la the whole "loretta cooing 'baby boy' at charlie gives me a hott!").

Ah. I was thinking you were able to see 1 or 2 episodes online before renting the best-of collection that led you to getting the whole thing. But maybe it was only pieces of episodes. And I agree about it being best watched in whole (but you know firsthand how hard that's been! :( ).

yea, super grateful for SF bothering to put it out--a big project and the kind that's hard for anyone to bother doing these days of only thinking about mass profit margins not cult devotees.

now if only a miracle could happen and all that glitters could become easily accessible!
