That's Your Sitcom: Sherri

Clearly, this is your sitcom. "It just speaks to me." That's what you tell your lady friends over lunch at an outdoor cafe with a bottle of the second cheapest white wine on the menu. Oh, btw, you are a woman, and that is why this show speaks to you, because it is just telling it like it is. FWBW, says your sweatshirt. In any case, the "Vodka and Fudge" mousepad is going to take 4-6 weeks to ship to your house, but it will be well worth it, because then all the other girls in the secretarial pool will know that you have something that you actually care about. That your life has depth and meaning.

I feel sad for Sherri Sheppard. Before she was on The View, I thought to myself, "I'd love to see more of her. She's funny!" But - I was wrong. So very wrong.

Is this your subtle way of telling us you're in Cali to write scripts for the "Sherri" sitcom, Gabe? "I’m old enough to be your patient, more experienced lover" has Delahaye written all over it.

Now that you're single, you know what that means -
Vodka and Fudge!

WTF - They give Vodka colonics now?

Theo Huxtable, what are you doing in this train wreck? Heathcliff would not approve.

Hold up! Did she just call Claire Huxtable "ugly crap"? Unforgivable!

it's hard to argue with that.
this is definitely my show.
those are my loyal, interrogative girlfriendz.
those are my classic mom and food jokes.
those are my pink, feminine leaves blown across the screen in my sexually empowered breeze.
hell, that's even my sassy, middle-aged font at the end.
BUT WHERE'S MY ADORABLE AND EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTIVE PET?!

"my sexually empowered breeze" -- this belongs in a yet-to-come lifetime-themed haiku contest.
(Constantinople will win.)

This wasn't my sitcom until 23 seconds into the video when they have the three shots of her smiling at once. Now, it is the highest priority on my tivo. First run and repeats! Who cares if its a new show?

I'm going to start writing letters again, just so I can use the signoff "Vodka and fudge," in place of "Sincerely,". First stop, my congressman!
Vodka and fudge,
Jim

"all the other girls in the secretarial pool"

Do secretarial pools still exist? And are they still all girls? When did this become 1963SterlingCooperGum?

I work in a secretarial pool, more or less, with other women. And Sherri Shephard, oddly enough.

when I was a young paralegal I had to sit in a cube with a crazy old secretary that had spiked hair, plenty O' tude and a printed out paper that said "CHOCOLATE! WHY GOD CREATED WOMEN". At the time she filled me with terror, now she's my hero.

On the one hand this is Sherri "the earth is flat "Shepherd, on the other this is also Mrs Tracy Jordan. Why do life's choices have to be so difficult?

If you run out of mousepads I'll take the less sought-after "Vodka and Tampon" coffee mug.

This show sort of looks like a live action adaptation of the comic strip "Cathy" mixed with "The Good Wife" with a gentle infusion of my worst nightmares. Sherri: The Freddy Kreuger of Lifetime.
