My new favorite fall show is NBC’s The Mysteries of Laura.
It’s a drama that doesn’t take itself seriously. Laura Diamond is a NYPD detective with twins who are out of control and an estranged spouse that is a big kid in a police lieutenant uniform. I have always loved Debra Messing since her days in Will & Grace. Her character is a no nonsense mom who wipes blood from a gun shot wound with a wet wipe, and returns a $375 bathing suit after wearing it in an undercover job in a bath house.
I loved the pilot episode which aired last Wednesday and is being promoted along with other Wednesday night fare NYPD and Law and Order SVU. Hopefully, Laura will be around for a while. It’s just the right mix of mid-week fun we need.
Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
