What a great, quirky new show ! "Getting On"

It's HBO's serious, funny, oddball, hysterical, sad - all rolled into one - set in a hospital series.

And Rosanne's sister, Laurie Metcalf, plays an amazing neurotic stressed out doctor. I haven't seen
much of her since Roseanne - but looked up her filmography and she's been working a lot ever since. Niecy Nash
from Reno 911 plays the sane role. And Alex Borstein is amazingly quirky. She plays Frank's personal
liability lawyer in Shameless.

who has HBO? Amazingly, our cable company allows you to have up to 5 computers free access thru HBO GO and
Showtime Anytime with a user name and password. With HBO Go, you can hook up your computer to your TV, with Showtime you have to watch on computer/IPad. But still, it's kind of an amazing loophole. They can't monitor where you use
your computer - so bottom line, they don't know if it's you on vacation in Alaska or your sister who lives there.
