‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ Season 5 Premiere | Prime Video
This series tells the story of Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a housewife in the late 1950s and early 1960s who discovers she’s a truly gifted comedian. The ups and downs of trying to make it in the business are hard enough to navigate, but for a woman trying to enter a space dominated by men, it’s almost impossible.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
It’s 1958 Manhattan and Miriam “Midge” Maisel has everything she’s ever wanted - the perfect husband, kids, and Upper West Side apartment. But when her life suddenly takes a turn and Midge must start over, she discovers a previously unknown talent - one that will take her all the way from the comedy clubs of Greenwich Village to a spot on Johnny Carson’s couch.
After being falsely accused of prostitution last season, Midge is back on her feet and has her sights set on an appearance on “The Gordon Ford Show.” A knock-out performance on that series would launch Midge on the path to success she’s been seeking for years, but will she be able to pull it off?

Seattle Sea Dragons vs. St. Louis Battlehawks XFL Game | ESPN, watch with a subscription to Sling Orange
Missing the NFL? The wait until September may be a long one, but it’ll be a bit shorter thanks to spring leagues like the XFL. The Battlehawks and Sea Dragons currently sit in the second and third positions respectively in the XFL North division, but neither has secured a playoff spot yet, so this contest will go a long way toward developing the postseason picture.
The XFL is a fast-paced football league that takes all the hard-hitting, deep passing action of professional football and multiplies it, making for the ultimate viewing experience. A new rule this year has allowed coaches to challenge literally any play, penalty, turnover, etc. they want once per game, as long as they have a time out. There’s no extra points, and no time to take your eyes off the screen while the game is on!
