One thought on “Monday TV: A Glittering ‘The Gilded Age’”
  1. Hello, Roger —

    RE your entry for “The Last Duel” — spellcheck has given you “Mark” instead of “Matt” Damon.

    Do you appreciate messages like this or should I refrain? (I didn’t mention an amusing one for “Billions” recently: Maggie Stiff — but I did think you might want to fix the Damon.)

    Thanks again for the website. I know it’s a lot of work.
