I really enjoyed it...warm, funny, wonderful music...wish Marvin was still with us.

But through his musical legacy, I guess he IS still with us.

My Marvin Hamlisch Moment
By Curt Schleier

Excerpt:

The only thing wrong with the latest American Masters profile is the title. Officially it’s “Marvin Hamlisch: What He Did For Love.” More accurately, it should have been “Marvin Hamlisch: Mensch**.”

**Mensch = a person of integrity and honor.

Caught most of the Call The Midwife Christmas special - why didn't I know that was on? Anyway I love this show and all the actors are just brilliant as far as I'm concerned. Just a little confused about the doctor's son and his illness - I didn't get the secret taking of the pills - was he starting to feel ill and self medicating or is he supposed to be some sort of addict in the making? Very peculiar. I thought the boys had poisoned themselves but that wasn't it at all.

I agree...that business with the boys sharing a drink at the party, and the pills was very confusing. Maybe it was meant to be a red herring so that the diagnosis of polio would be more of a shock/surprise.

I can't believe I went out to dinner tonight without setting Call the Midwife to record! Aarrgh! And it doesn't repeat!

Nope. PBS web videos are geoblocked in Canada. Which really p!sses me off, since the Seattle affiliate markets itself as serving both Washington State and BC -- and they're always happy to take our money during pledge drives.

^ Thanks for that dardar. The video quality is pretty crappy but it's better than nothing -- I'll save that as my plan b. if I can't find a better copy to download.

At least it's not geoblocked.
