Maisel herself: 'My roommate was friendly and fat, which was perfect, because I had someone to eat with who wouldn't steal my boyfriend.' Sure, maybe it's of-the-era humor, but it's being brought into a 2017 TV show under the assumption it's amusing, when really it's just unnecessary commentary on physical appearance.

Maisel, takes place in Manhattan in 1958 where (after a quick introduction to the couple at their wedding four years earlier) we meet Miriam “Midge” Maisel (played expertly by Rachel Brosnahan) and her husband Joel (Michael Zegen), living in a classic six on the Upper West Side. One of the more intriguing offerings is a new series from Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls. Some of these songs were officially released on a CD, Live at The Gaslight 1962, in 2005.

His performance was recorded and has circulated on bootlegs since the early ’70s. This week Amazon kicked off their new pilot season, offering one episode each for new shows they'll potentially pick up for their original programming. Fifty-two years ago, on October 15, 1962, an unknown Bob Dylan performed 17 songs at the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village, New York.
