Spin off Big Bang with all the other characters except Sheldon. Let them start a commune, lead a city whatever...the show hasn't Jumped the Shark.

Don't end it!

The Komninsky Method

Since I don't know how to contact you or Michael Douglas, I just wanted you to know you did GOOD! Real Good!

Please contact me via email if you or your staff would like more input.

Here is a letter that I sent in response to a somewhat negative critique: To: Sophie Gilbert (Atlantic Magazine) Date: Nov. 23, 2018

Hi Sophie.

My name is MO. I’m 72 and not in the biz. My fiancée is 68, (we’re not getting married, but saying she’s my girlfriend is nauseating) and we just completed binge watching "The Kominsky Method".

Look I could go line by line, episode by episode….but my guess is that you’re not 40, 50, 60, 70+…and whether you’re Jewish or not is truthfully irrelevant.

You may not like the show, for a variety of reasons.

We on the other hand LOVE the show…because it’s real, hits home on many issues that AARP members face, either directly or hide from in denial.

I wish you would call me and we could discuss your critique for 10-15 minutes, because you’re writing for a well-known magazine, and your opinion counts. I hope mine does.

The Kominsky Method isn’t about acting, it’s not about death, it’s not about Jews, Old men, prostate problems: it’s about growing older and living, surviving…and not necessarily making better choices because we’ve been imbued with super powers (see Marvel / DC comics) or snappy one line weak sarcastic comments that draws even weaker laughs from a real audience or punched up from a sound board.

It’s life… in an area of the “pool” that YOU haven’t experienced.

We both hope that the show is renewed and I would LOVE it if you could pass this on to Michael Douglas (NJ Jewish guy like me)/ Chuck Lorre…because I want to give them a cyber hug, pat on the back and a Mazel Tov!

You may not get any of this. You may not agree with my analysis. But as someone who has seen firsthand the ravages of Lung Cancer (stage 4), triple bypass / Aortic Replacement, Colonoscopy / Endoscopy (this year)…the PSA issues can scare you, make you nervous, irritable, irrational, and unreasonable.

Given time this show offers something to the demographic of baby boomers…as we wrap up our time on Earth…and I’m still in denial because I want to live forever.

Lorre is to be praised for creating this vehicle and characters that are more real that you realize….though if you live long enough perhaps someday you’ll enjoy the show and come to embrace the characters as you deal with your own mortality and try to comfort your friends and family who are dealing with the same issues!

Sincerely,

MO
