At Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I posted 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' wins 8 Emmy Awards plus other comedy winners. I quoted the Peabody Awards description of the show, but didn't embed the video of the Peabody Awards acceptance speech. Here it is.
A period drama and feminist comedy, Amy Sherman-Palladino’s story of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” centers on the emergence of a 1950s female comedian who runs afoul of New York decency laws. In the process, the colorful and imaginative story also reflects on the “place” of women in public spaces, Jewishness, familial relations, classed expectations, and the importance of a woman not being “ripped right out of a catalogue” that is both impressively weighty and effortlessly light.
