Amsterdam Russ Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Watching the first episode of the new Sky comedy series, Funny Woman, and at about 15 minutes in the soundtrack is Larry Laster 'Go for yourself'. Bit of a clanger though as the setting for the episode is 1964 and Larry Laster's tune wouldn't get a release in the States until May 1966 and, of course, there was no contemporary UK release. Still, hearing it was an unexpected delight! No idea if anything else interesting was played as I gave up on the show about 10 minutes later. 1
Tlscapital Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 How dare they trying to fool the Loma man like that ? No-no-no. I feel ya. Likely better entertainment if ever on 'Poker Face' episode 5 'time of the monkey' kicking in with Jackie Shane 'any other way' playing then all along during the episode my favorite of him/er 'coming' down'. American comedy show of 'modern' type likely with hipsters involvement accessing the Numero Group catalog but in this episode echoing the 'love power' era they're placing in the seventies (?) so even more serious decades overall mismatch for contemporary 'decor' setting than yours. 2

Trying to watch my first episode of that 'funny Woman' now and am going to 'zap' to something else. Never will try to watch any other episode of that again. 'Poker face' is much more entertaining IMO.

I thought with the 1960s setting and all that comes with it - or should come with it - that the show might be interesting. Very disappointing. 2
Philreeves Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I’ve seen worse shows. Nice to hear two of Bettye Swann’s Capitol recordings in one episode.
Soul-slider Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 'Funny Woman' does get better after a few episodes (basically the last 3 episodes!).
