Apres Culture

Episode 41: Roseanne and One Day at a Time over Cuba Libres This week old sitcoms are new again: we’re talking about the Netflix reboot of Norman Lear’s One Day at a Time, and everything that made the soon-to-be-rebooted Roseanne beloved. We’ve got killer comedic actors, eye-opening storylines, and yes, behind-the-scenes shenanigans—and some of the best TV ever made. Pull up a chair and pay the three-pretzel ante—it’s time for Après Culture. Tipple of the Week: Cuba Libre Squeeze the juice of an entire lime into a tall glass, drop in a little ice and one or two of the spent lime rinds, add 2 oz rum and top off with cola. Next Week It’s all about Kasey’s new hometown, Chicago, with Adventures in Babysitting (1987) and Life Itself (2014), plus Roger Ebert’s reviews of Adventures in Babysitting and, for a bonus, of Hoop Dreams. Oh and the tipple next week? That would be a shot of Malort. Try it with us, you will regret it. Resources A 2008 EW retrospective on the series: http://ew.com/article/2008/10/24/r
