Best show on TV and Fonda and Tomlin steal every scene they are in and the comedy and interaction between them is just priceless. So good to see a show aimed at an older audience. I can’t even begin to imagine the time and money it must cost Miss Fonda to stay looking so fabulous. She nails effortless age appropriate chic, no “mutton dressed as lamb” for her. I enjoy watching it for many reasons but one of the things I enjoy the most is seeing her in such gorgeous clothes!
