As Liz and Sarah write the pilot for their reboot of Fantasy Island, they’re also feeling the pressure of getting a show off the ground after a straight-to-series pick up. Their best coping mechanism? Focus on the task at hand at any given moment. In Mailroom, they answer a listener question about the many behind-the-scenes details of making a show. This week in Hits & Bombs, Liz and Sarah give two Hits. Liz gives a Hit to the HBO Max show, It’s A Sin, about a group of friends coping with the AIDS crisis in London. And Sarah gives a Hit to Violet for the sweet gesture of putting toothpaste on Sarah’s toothbrush. This week’s Hollywood Hack will improve your home popcorn experience: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray.

I was struck by the white female privilege here that went unchecked, as if readers are not clearly aware of what has occurred here with the vaccine. Liz volunteered for one day in order to get a vaccine. If I am mistaken by this, please let me know how many days you volunteered. The recap of the fake phone call of Liz acting “surprised” that she got a vaccine at the end of her one-day loophole was so disingenuous. As was the staged acting of today hearing about how you – apparently were smarter than all of us! – and simply called the Doctor and let them know you’ll drop anything in a minute to get the vaccine! As if every woman in the United States is not in the same boat. You are unaware of your enormous privilege here, and to so brazenly show it to your viewers is so dissappointing to say the least. Since you are fine with playing the system, we’re going to be reaching out to ABC on how this alienates consumers to hear people act in this way, which directly affects the ability for your show to get traction. I will be emailing the senior management and executives today to detail just how brazen and unacceptable this behavior was. Respond by COB with an explanationn and context if I was wrong with Liz only exploiting volunteering for one day. If not, please inform us of LIz’s service in this regard!.
