They left us laughing. And we left them laughing. A fitting epitaph for any comic and for the series.
Watched every episode and appreciated all that went into the production, cinematography, writing and acting. Hoped they'd cap it off with something worthy of all that was put on screen. I think they did. I think they hit the right notes with Lenny, Susie, the families and, most importantly, Midge. No quibbles. Not a one.
While this is a review, take it more as a 'Thank You' note to the many talents who contributed to the series and this wonderful finale.
This last episode showed Midge's one special moment in front of the camera. The moment so many saw how much she had to offer. That she was different, bold, funny and, yes, beautiful. It also showed that her ambition never left her. That from the moment the pull of the stage microphone drew her to stand in front of a TV camera, the only thing that could have stopped her was herself. And she never let that happen.
Marvelous indeed.
