After 7 years, Workin' Moms is over and I'm gonna miss having a show based on Toronto that I can catch all the references
Kate Foster was a gem of a character (shout out to Catherine Reitman) and I spent so much time laughing while watching this show. Literally the zombie mannequin head giving Kate oral sex honestly killed me 😭😭
Kate and Anne's friendship was a rollercoaster and I really didn't love where it ended up, plus I dont think that Anne and Alice's storyline ended in a way that made sense (why is she going to Australia? What happened to Anne's TBI from the beginning of the season?)
High level opinions: Jenny was the worst she should have been written off. Sloane was great, and she and Paul were such a fun addition to the show. Val was weird and whatever. I actually missed Frankie even though I didn't expect to and I really miss Giselle. Nathan Junior was the best cast addition that the writers made. Lionel was too sweet for Anne
Basically the show was a fun watch for the last 7 years! That being said, this final season was very all over the place - like Kate and Ram was the a storyline for half the season and then it fizzled into nothing else? Plus out of no where Kate selling her her company and then going back with Rosie, Richard and Mo made no sense?
There were definitely a lot of areas where there was room for improvement, but overall it was a funny show and I'm glad to have been able to watch it over the past few years. Watch our review here (plus we have a guest this episode!) :

Here's the new details that I can give on Shego in the completely reworked version of Global Justice, that you can obviously both read and see below for yourself so beware of any potential spoilers:
• When we're first introduced to her, Shego is a wicked, cunning, boisterous, somewhat vile and femme fatale villain with her same signature snarky and witty sense of humor from the original series and takes sadistic pleasure in torturing and toying with her victims BUT is shown almost early on to have somewhat of a code and her own standards as well as a sense of genuine respect towards Kim for her skills.
• Shego is of course wanted in over 11 countries but is also top of the FBI's most wanted list, top of the CIA's most wanted and has a very high kill-count of her enemies. Topping it off, she's also at the top of Global Justice's most wanted thus making her the most dangerous and deadliest criminal and villain around currently.
• It's through Kim however that she starts to grow and evolve into more and more of a genuine anti-hero who while isn't afraid at all to get her hands dirty and still has the same personality, has a stronger moral code and that leads her to do the right thing.
• Another thing that is equally important is while her overall backstory and motivations for becoming evil will be left completely ambigious and never be revealed, there will be plenty of hints here and there. She was once the best, most highest ranking Global Justice agent that defeated and brought in over 500 villains on her own, she was captain of the cheerleaders in high school just like Kim is, she has a bachelor's degree in child psychology, she graduated top of her class at the FBI Academy in Quantico and she had a childhood fear of drowning that she overcame.
• But a major change and later reveal will be her connection to Kim. The relationship between her and Kim is the most important and central aspect of the show as both come into their own as unlikely heroes that can depend on one another and make an incredibly effective team. However, with all of that said, she also has a literal PERSONAL connection to her as it's revealed that [SPOILER ALERT] Shego is in fact her mother Ann Possible and this is what she does when she's not taking care of her family along with her husband.
This eventual reveal will be hinted at a couple of times home right after Shego leaves the house through the window with little footsteps on the roof being heard and last but not least, Ann grounding Kim for a little secret that only Shego knew and Kim told her with the former's reaction being pursed lips and both hands on her hips.
• Now as for why she kidnapped her own daughter and almost tried to "kill" her (not really as it turns out on the latter), that too will be left completely vague with the only answer being Shego telling Kim that she "was ready".

“Axis Sally” was the generic name for women with husky voices and good English who read German and Italian propaganda on the radio during World War II. Like the Japanese women who became collectively known as “Tokyo Rose,” they were trying to reach American soldiers, hoping to demoralize them by telling them their casualties were high, their commanders were bad, and their cause was lost. “A lousy night it sure is,” Axis Sally said on one 1944 broadcast: “You poor, silly, dumb lambs, well on your way to be slaughtered.”
Tucker Carlson, who also repeats the propaganda of foreign dictators while speaking English, doesn’t have anything like the historical significance of Axis Sally or Tokyo Rose, though his level of credibility is similar. This is a man who famously wrote texts about his loathing of Donald Trump, even while praising the then-president in public; recently, the former Fox News host kept a straight face while interviewing a convicted fraudster who claimed to have smoked crack and had sex with Barack Obama.
But when Carlson speaks on behalf of Viktor Orbán or Vladimir Putin, his words are repeated in Hungary and Russia, where they do have resonance: Look, a prominent American journalist supports us. I don’t know what Carlson’s motivation is—he did not respond to a request for comment—but his words also circulate in the far-right American echo chamber, where they are sometimes repeated by Republican presidential candidates, so unfortunately they require some explanation.
[The American Face of Authoritarian Propaganda For Viktor Orbán and Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson fulfills a need.]

New Post has been published on Books by Caroline Miller

The Heat Of The Kitchen
A gentleman at my retirement facility returned from a visit with friends in Australia recently. One of his hosts took him to a remote part of the country where they were joined by others who were his host’s friends. As might be expected, the conversation turned to American politics. One individual expressed disappointment that President Joe Biden was responsible for damages to the Nord Stream Pipeline in September, ignoring Russia’s statement that a faulty system compressor caused the explosion. The person sharing his information cited a Fox news commentator Tucker Carlson as his source. That rumor has been debunked by several news outlets, so I asked my companion, a man who’d made his living as a travel guide before retiring, how he responded. “I was a guest, so I listened,” he replied. “The better part of valor is discretion,” said Shakespeare’s Falstaff In Henry IV, Part 1, but as our midterms were at hand, and voters were pondering whether to turn the country over to insurrectionists or to defend democracy, I was in no mood for discretion. “I didn’t stay silent about apartheid when I was in South Africa,” I snapped. I regretted my words before I’d finished my sentence. Who was I to judge? Under the circumstances, rebuttal at best would have been useless. At worst, the man would have embarrassed his host. I tendered my apology, realizing the upcoming election had frayed my resiliency. If I am honest, though, I’m weary of Tucker Carlson and his ilk and would prefer to butt heads. The coarsening of my spirits has, of late, led me to turn away from the news. I prefer to watch television cooking shows. What harm can there be in vanilla pudding unless Lucretia Borgia is in the kitchen? I’m not alone in my desire for escape. Susan Stoner, author of the Sage Adair historical mystery series, wrote me to say her 10th novel will focus on 18th-century women who developed recipes for healthy living. Her research so far reveals,“…there is currently minuscule to no information in any archive about these women. Grrr.” If she wrote biographical fiction, the absence of facts wouldn’t hamper her. She could make them up, as did Annabel Abbs in her 2021 novel about Eliza Acton. Acton predated Isabella Beaton as the author of the modern cookbook and, by accounts, the latter plagiarized some of her predecessor’s work. Acton’s life began as the child of a successful businessman. She was still young when the family’s fortune changed, however, and her bankrupt father fled to France, leaving his wife and children to fend for themselves. Acton had dreams of living a poet’s life and, with perseverance, enjoyed a small success. That being the case, she was affronted when a publisher offered her a contract to write a cookbook. Returned home, a penurious spinster, living under the roof of a mother who nagged her to find a husband, Acton reconsidered the offer. Even so, she was determined to make the genre her own. She succeeded with Ann Kirby’s help, an impoverished servant who had troubles of her own. Ann’s mother was mad and her father was a drunkard. The three lived in a shack with not enough money for Ann to own a decent pair of shoes. The girl, little more than a teenager, jumped at the chance to work in a warm, clean kitchen. The collaboration, born of commiseration, grew into a friendship. The result was a cookbook 10 years in the making which the public embraced. As an escape from politics, I recommend Abb’s fictional biography. Julie Whiteley, a critic for the Library Journal, as well as others, gave the work a thumbs up. Whiteley writes, Abbs has written a fascinating, long-overdue tribute to the unconventional Eliza Acton, the woman who revolutionized the English cookbook. Ann’s and Eliza’s drives for independence is (sic) inspiring, and their passion for cooking will awaken readers’ inner chef. My inner life would prefer to eat a cake rather than bake one. Nonetheless, for those who wish to escape the heat of today’s political kitchen, I recommend Abb’s book, Miss Eliza’s English Kitchen: A Novel of Victorian Food and Friendship.

[PITCH]
Global Justice
What is it —
An action/spy-noir superhero coming-of-age animated series and reboot of one of the most beloved and well-known animated shows of all time, Kim Possible, with the voice actresses of Christy Carlson Romano, Nicole Sullivan, Kirsten Storms, Raven-Symone, Jean Smart and even Kerri Kenney reprising all of their roles as Kim, Shego, Bonnie, Monique, Ann and Bebe.
PREMISE:
Set in the fictional Middleton, California, we follow and focus on (at first) 16 year old teenager Kimberly "Kim" Ann Possible, a straight A yet overachieving student and captain of the school cheerleaders who thinks she can do anything right down to it being the tagline on her website but is learning the hard way that may not be the case when she's now dealing with one of every teen's worst nightmares and that's high school pressure. Stretching herself too thin, getting too cocky and arrogant for her own good, striving too much for perfection, setting high expectations for herself to meet and proving to suck at everything she underestimates doing.
However, what one really can't even deny is that she's an outstanding cheerleader. Her moves, skills, agility, flexibility and quick wit makes her what may very well be the best cheerleader in the whole state which of course adds more to her ego and cockiness. It's all of this that unfortunately (or fortunately) for her catches the attention of multiple people from the shadows who see her incredible potential for either good or evil.
It's on a Friday night where she has the whole house to herself, the doorbell rings and she goes to answer it thinking it's her friend Monique only to find when she opens the door three blue and tall blonde haired gynoids that proceed to kidnap and bag her!
The fembots called the Bebes with the main one having a beauty mark on the left side of her upper lip take her to what appears to be their lair and shove her down a chute that Kim barely fits in where once she lands back-first onto a human sized roulette comes face to face from her upside down point of view with the person who ordered the Bebes to bring Kim to her — Shego, a raven black hip length haired, light green skinned, snarky, twisted, cynical, sarcastic, boisterous, vile and cunning young woman in a green and black jumpsuit and has deadly plasma powers.
It's all here that Shego toys with Kim in her own macabre and gleefully villainous way, keeping her motivation and reasoning for kidnapping her as vague as possible to help messing with her, only for it to take another unexpected turn when Kim manages to untie herself and attempts to escape.
All of this ends up setting off a domino-esque chain of events that leads Kim, Shego and Bebe (the main one) to a top secret, crime-fighting government organization responsible for defeating evil and saving the world from villains called "Global Justice", founded and run by Betty Director who lost an eye in battle and as it turns out, Shego and Bebe were once some of the absolute best agents in GJ before an incident gave the former her powers and fused the latter's genes with nanotechnology and broke bad.
With Kim being thrown into a hidden world full of superheroics and supervillainy that she never knew even existed, the series follows her, Shego, Bebe and others such as Bonnie for example since she's the biggest one becoming either Global Justice agents or full-blown anti-heroes with their own motives to doing so, fighting crime and defeating supervillains on a regular basis. Their missions or plots involve them traveling to various destinations from either around the world or around Middleton which will be fleshed out more than in the original series to where the latter has its own distinct character and is a memorable place and city, to rescue the citizens from harm and fight a variety of bad guys who often prove to be genuine and even dangerous threats when they want to and need be.
All the while, Kim, Shego, Bebe and all the other characters grow and develop as the show progresses with Kim becoming a better, stronger, more caring, more kinder and definitely more selfless person who learns that she can't do everything either on her own, without the help of others around her or in general and Shego and Bebe becoming more and more of actual heroes who even though they aren't afraid at all still to get their hands dirty, have a moral code they didn't know they still had and it leads them to do the right thing, eventually turning around back to good. It also explores the highs and lows of Kim's life as a high school student attempting to navigate dating, captaining her high school's cheerleading squad, academics, sports, homework, exams and eventually learning to drive, all the while striving to maintain a healthy work–life balance, fighting crime typically comes to Kim more naturally as the show goes on than the more standard components of adolescence. Better yet, it's not just Kim's life that is explored, it's everyone else especially Shego and Bebe. All of them ultimately decide to use either their talents or powers to help the world.
NOTES/TRIVIA/DETAILS:
• While the show will be done in overall the same animation style of the original series (minus the tiny feet and parachute pants), it will stand out from both the original and other modern animated shows with its distinctive use of colors and lighting, giving it a Bond-esque and even noir look and feel to it such as the look of The Incredibles, and the colors used make them really pop out when they're used always for contrast.
• The other voice actors and voice actresses that I have in mind for the series are Chelsea Kane, Geena Davis, Matt Jones, Dean DeHaan, Khary Payton, Scott Adsit, Oscar Isaac, Mara Wilson, Seychelle Gabriel, Jeffrey Combs, Jake Busey, Matthew Fox, Vic Mignogna, Rosario Dawson and even Jodi Benson.
• The show will be a genuine throwback to the action cartoons of the 90s, 2000s and early to mid 2010s right down to the fact that like them, it will have a genuinely dark and even intense edge to it to show the danger and stakes that the characters are in. Now will the show have the signature witty and self aware humor of the original series — absolutely! It obviously wouldn't be Kim Possible, like at all, without it but the original also had edge to it with its first and fourth seasons and of course So The Drama. The series will balance out the signature humor and banter of the original with genuinely dark moments, villains who are serious threats when need be and intense action and elements. It's comparable to the tones of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Rocketeer, The Mummy (1999), Hot Fuzz, Heathers, The Goonies and others like them.
• The show will run for a total of about three seasons with each episode being more of a mini-movie if anything and the overall series having 67 episodes as a whole. It feels like the right amount for a show like this to have without overstaying its welcome OR being much too short. Plus it'll show the characters progress from point A to point B as it goes on and as you watch the show for yourself if it's ever made.
• In a major change from the original that will most likely be divisive yet at the same time will make sense in the context of the actual show and be built up throughout with little hints and details so it's not bullshit when it finally happens, it will be revealed in the series finale that Shego is in fact Kim's mother Ann all along with Shego being her alter-ego and her real job and Bebe is in fact Kim's aunt and Ann's old sister Jenna (a new character and addition to the family) with Bebe being her alter-ego and her real job as well.
