Fran Lebowitz is a national treasure
I just watched the first two episodes of her new Netflix series Pretend It's a City and I'm in awe of her wit and brilliant mind. She has to be the sharpest person on planet Earth at the moment. The modern-day version of Oscar Wilde.
She also comes out as a lesbian in the series.

She was great on The Nanny.

I don’t see any credits for her on IMDb for either The Nanny or the Shining. Anyway, I thought she came out 25 years ago.

Did you know that buildings in NYC would just collapse during the 1970s?

Fran Lebowitz is a lesbian? No way. She just hasn’t found the right man.

I loved her story about attending the opening night of Phantom of the Opera.

She came out as a lesbian in the 70s.

I wanted to like this but shut it off after around 20 mins. Feels forced and she's a bit grating. She goes on about people not looking where they're going but then says there are always to look at on the ground like plaques.

OP, you have obviously never read Oscar Wilde.

R1 I think you are confusing her with Scatman Carruthers.

Oscar Wilde was a pretentious old Queen, nothing clever about him.

a cross between Scatman Crothers and Oscar Wilde?

Someone mentioned the 70s above, is this a period drama?

R10 I watched 2 episodes and they feel padded. She's said basically all of this before and though she has some interesting stories of life in NY in the 70s when my cousin was the doorman at Max's Kansas City she does whine about the same things she's droned on about in every interview she's given in the last 10 years and it's a bit tiresome. Why doesn't she move? She's smart and witty but Scorcesse laughing at everything she says is annoying. 30 minutes would have been sufficient.

I found a $50 bill on the sidewalk outside her house in the Village

She does have a great wit- but I thought there wasn’t quite enough material to sustain interest in viewing the first couple episodes, and they are short.

Scorcese did this 10 years ago.

I’m a big fan but I can’t bear when people punctuate their sentences with "Okay?”

A little goes a long way. Her shtick gets tiresome very quickly.
