OMAR! I loved Omar. I wrote a few Omar scenes into my curriculum for the Fall, tambien.


I'm going to slowly acquire the box sets. This show is the Anna Karenina of television, and I'm not exaggerating. Did you know the writers actually worked in the Baltimore PD, school system, and newspaper? No wonder! You can't make some of that up.

I just looooooved how everyone worked in the rank system, even the boys on the corner.

(I must admit I didn't much like Bubs.)

I know Lafayette Gilchrist, whose music appeared in it a fair bit, from what I've told. He's phenomenal.

Did he do one of the versions of the theme song? I liked Steve Earle's version best.

Why didn't you like Bubs, Sally? It was a rough character, no doubt, but very spot-on. (Says the recovering alky.)

And I definitely don't think a Tolstoy comparison is inappropriate. I dropped Shakespeare's name a few times in my descriptions of it!

I liked Season Two's version the best.


Bubs just was so ... predictable. Predictably cheesy. His friend Johnny still creeps me out from the 90s movie Kids, so I could never quite fall for the pair of them.

Me too. That's one of my favorite things about Mindy.

OK, so when y'all come visit in NYC, I'll call my Daddy. Talking to him for just a few minutes usually starts it!

Addicts are pretty predictable. That's the insanity. But yeah, that Johnny guy was creepy and I never liked him.

I guess that was probably a character trait as well, the tendency to hang with creepos.

Yeah, standards and discernment tend to fall away fairly quickly on the way to the bottom!
