PRETEND IT’S A CITY – I generally enjoy Fran Lebowitz. She is an intelligent, opinionated writer with a biting, caustic wit. When I see her on various shows such as Real Time With Bill Maher, I often find her irreverent humor hilarious and her comments insightful. So naturally I was expecting the same in this mini-series which comprises one whole interview over seven seemingly endless episodes. Conducted by Martin Sorcese in a one-on-one fashion, Fran comments on life in New York City from the time she arrived many years ago until present day. Unfortunately, I found the whole thing boring. The first episode had a few funny comments, but by the second episode I was exhausted. I no longer cared to hear this woman drone on with her opinions and self-serving attitude. I still look forward to Fran’s appearances on talk shows, but I find her more interesting in small doses. Less is definitely better. Toasts- 0. Zero boyfriends/girlfriends.
