  • Right?!

    I enjoy the subject matter & dialogue. Don’t always agree and that is a good thing. That means I’m on a learning track. But, I have to take a break and calm down after every 25th time a certain person ends his sentence with “right?” To say it another way, the 21st century form of the Valley Girl up note detracts from his incredible knowledge and expertise. My frailty won’t impact my rating, however, the show gets 5 stars
