When I wrote the HBO-skeptical section of my last post, I hadn’t yet seen the news that HBO will be doing a half-hour comedy starring Diane Keaton and created by Marti Noxon. There’s something strangely apropos about the teaming of cinema’s most neurotically self-indulgent star and TV’s most neurotically self-indulgent showrunner, but it doesn’t fill me with great anticipation.
In comments, Todd defends Marti Noxon:
Did anyone else have a twinge of fear at this credit on the second season of Mad Men?
