Enlightened is the best show on television. Here are some things you should read about it.

Please, please watch this show. It airs Sunday at 9:30 P.M. on HBO.

Each one of these ladies auditioned for the role of Sarah in Labyrinth (1986), as did Yasmine Bleeth, Mary Stuart Masterson, Kerri Green and Laura San Giacomo. Before Jennifer Connelly was chosen, Ally Sheedy, Maddie Corman, and Jane Krakowski were front-runners for the part.
HBO has granted Enlightened a second season. This makes me very, very happy.
