L ast month, I was in a family wedding mostly as a child wrangler, but still. In some flush of optimism, I picked a strappy dress with a plunging neckline. But for some reason, even though I know better, I let myself be seduced by the idea that stick-on bras really work for busty ladies. The week before the wedding, I kept looking at the stick-on bra box, and feeling panic. But I kept circling back to what happened when I was getting ready for prom. Not sexy, very tin man, but fine. So last month, I kept circling around this idea.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is growing up. In Season 3, our resilient heroine Ellie Kemper embarks on yet another young-adult rite of passage: college. Once again, nothing, not even the return of the oily Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne Jon Hamm , is going to deter Kimmy from making up for lost time and living her life. Fifteen years in an underground apocalypse bunker really puts things in perspective. But Kimmy isn't the only one making big moves in the Netflix comedy's third season.

On this show, it all happens in the space of about 15 minutes. For a cheerful comedy, Kimmy Schmidt can sometimes feel less relaxing than relentless, terrified of lingering on any emotion for too long — like Kimmy herself, I suppose. Her opponent, played by Peter Riegert best known as Boon in Animal House , is actually pretty similar to her. By the grace of God and Jeff Richmond, we even get a music video, with a dog driving Gordy and Titus in a green-screen convertible. After trundling her off to Connecticut for most of last season, this episode is a really clever reintroduction: Xan has landed a seat at the family alma mater, but is unable to make friends because of her unimaginable privilege.
