Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:

The Comeback (2005)

Valerie Cherish: Well, this is it, this is my It-wall. Used to be bigger, but then I got married and you know, you have to share. So... Um, let me show you this. *This* here is my People's Choice Award, that I got for I'm It. And it means a lot to me because it's from... The People. 

Today is the 10th anniversary of the first episode of Lisa Kudrow's show The Comeback, which aired on June 5th, 2005. The show of course did terribly, ratings-wise and critically (goddamn you shortsighted critics - I was there from Episode One!) and got canceled after airing its original thirteen episodes. Then years passed and every single person with half a brain starting shouting "I do need to see that!" unto the Heavens and HBO relented and a second season was born, and now hopefully Lisa Kudrow will win her goddamned Emmy this year, like she should have ten years ago.

You said it, JA! My husband and I have been praising Lisa Kudrow and The Comeback from day one (hard to believe it's been 10 years). Honestly, who cares about the Emmy Awards but in this case - should they get it right and award her - I would care.
