Girls, Didn't You Just Love Amy's Thanksgiving Show???????????????????

                                     I am telling you, that Amy Sedaris is one crafty lady, darlings!  Last season, she refused to do any holiday specials, and, since, I am supposing, she got so much grief, she is giving more than one would expect--a holiday for each show, no matter what the season.

                                      This past Tuesday was a Thanksgiving show, helped by guest star Ana Gasteyer.  Then came Tony the Knife Man (played by tall, handsome David Pasaquesi), as well as the usual suspects--Chassie Tucker, whom I did not know, till now, was a former pastry chef, and, of course the indefatigable Patty Hogg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Rounding out this feast was local librarian Winnifred Snood, played brilliantly by Jackie Hoffman.  She perfectly nailed the Librarian As Cultural Stereotype, but her real importance to the show was not revealed until later.

                                       Which was when the show morphed into what turned out to be a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds," with turkeys aiming for windows, coming down the chimney, through the door....just like in the movie!  Too bad they could not work in a sequence with children, or have someone spoof Suzanne Pleshette as Annie Hayworth.

                                          Aside from spoofing librarians, when it came to "The Birds," Jackie was actually spoofing Ethel Griffes as Mrs. Bundy, the avocational ornithologist from the Hitchcock film.  There was a moment where I thought Chassie was going to morph into Doreen Lang,  the hysterical mother in the diner from the film.  I kept waiting for it to happen, as the spoof could have used a dose of Doreen, but that was the only aspect of the movie to go unexplored.

                                            And I loved Amy's accelerated, hyperactive "Crafting Corner."

                                           All in all, another triumph for Amy!

                                           If only Doreen could have been there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
