TROPHY WIFE.

as an actual gymnastics fan (which means, no offense, that i have forgotten more about douglas than those of you who watch just the Games will ever know) i really, really wish that someone would actually do a decent TV show/movie/Lifetime movie about these athletes that doesn't devolve into blah blah blah Jesus is why…

I was very fond of HA3 as a kid. I just loved Alex and his parrot.

I am really sorry that happened to you. I do think discussion about Barney's (lack) of seeking consent is important—but underplaying rape, in referring to it all too casually, is yet another symptom of rape culture.
Again, I am sorry that happened to you. I hope therapy helps you work through it.

oh my god. bunheads WAS robbed.

Her?

Yup. The anti-intellectualism strain in America is as bad as it has ever been. We don't seem to care about knowledge anymore. See: Jenny McCarthy and her vaccine bullshit, everything the Tea Party does and says, climate change, etc etc etc. Charlie Pierce has a whole terrific book about just that.

especially after the black man called the white man "boy" very pointedly, over and over and over again. well played, Shonda.

oh good point about the case of the week. totally right.

the worst reality show is always, always, always The Biggest Loser.

or goofy like Ben from the much missed Ben and Kate.

YES PLEASE.

it's a garbage holiday predicated on celebrating or at least ignoring genocide, so it's a wee bit problematic from that angle. i mean i love me some stuffing and pecan pie, don't get me wrong (though this year i had it solo, in front of the tv, watching the middle and b99's tgiving episodes with the dog) but let's not…

Always telling him to clean up. But Max is good at subverting her.

one of my favorites for binge watching. also has 2 fantastic thanksgiving episodes.

see also: Terriers. And soon, I am terribly afraid, Trophy Wife.

yeah, no.
i don't root for Fitz and Olivia because it is a toxic, borderline abusive relationship. It has nothing to do with race. Way to project, though.

i am reading this!

watch on netflix and ff thru those scenes. it's worth it.

i actively hate football and mostly dislike Texas and yet friday night lights—a show "about" Texas football—is some of the best television I've ever seen.
