Her essay on Japan is even worse — http://thisrecording.com/to…

Unfortunately.

I agree. Broad City deserves ten times more attention than Girls does. I think Broad City is more ambitious than Girls is and should be recognized for it; the way the simple, yet complex storylines in every Broad City episode pans out is epic. Also it's figgin' hilarious.

Regardless of the two shows' differences in comedic tone, Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson represent the voice of the millenial generation more than Lena Dunham does. However, judging by that New Yorker cartoon where a woman says her prospective roommate was more, "Girls", and the woman, herself, was more, "Broad City,"…

She actually had the audacity to put that racist essay in her memoir.

It really bothers me that James Van Der Beek is in a generic multi-camera sitcom as a supporting character after being on Don't Trust The B— in Apartment 23.

I agree. However, I guess, apparently one of the staff writers, Sarah Heyward, went there. But that still doesn't excuse Dunham's narcissism. If part of season 4 takes place in Iowa, I find it odd that they would change the entire direction of the show based on the life experience of an executive story editor's, but…

In Dunham's original draft of the pilot, Shosh was a businesswoman in her late 20's. So they never really knew what to do with her in the first plce. She was only supposed to be a re-occuring character.

I think it's something legitimately worth discussing. If Dunham picked a program like the University of Michigan, for example, it wouldn't be such a big deal. Obviously Dunham wants this to be discussed, otherwise she wouldn't have picked the best program in the country.

I don't think they'd have to go in the voiceover direction that Sex and the City used. In fact, I remember reading an article that said Dunham wanted to use voiceover in an episode, but was advised not to (and was glad she didn't use it). There are other ways to give us an idea of what kind of writing Hannah does —…

I'm going ot go out a limb and say that the many problems of Studio 60 aligned with Sorkin's narcissism and his lack of understanding of the interworkings of a sketch show. People who write on sketch comedies genuinely like working together to write. Sports Night was a good sitcom, but I wouldn't consider it to be one…

I'm not defending the moral character of Hannah's mother, just making an analytical observation of the episode/season arc(if there is one).

I kind of agree with this, however, the one reason I'm okay with Adam getting a role on Broadway was because of that scene with him rehearsing for that play in season 1. We've also seen Marnie sing (and fail at it). Jessa has painted before when she was married.

"You just got Jammed!"

I know! I really want them to have a storyline where they see that aunt Shosh is always referencing (if she is an aunt they share).

I don't think she ever, really thought she wanted to "drop," him. I think he was becoming distant, which was off-putting to her, so after he was (rightfully) upset about her telling him about grad school before he went onstage (even though he did well), she unconsciously took her mother's advice.

Well, you have to think about about what Hannah writes; personal essays. If Dunham grew up on the same TV Land/Nick at Night shows that I did, I wouldn't be surprised if she was influenced slightly by Roseanne and what we're seeing in the series is really future Hannah's book/short stories (even if this meta aspect is…

What you've mentioned is just the result of the writers not plotting the show well.

I like her character because of how complicated she is (I would never want to have lunch with Marnie). Judging from what we've heard/seen from her parents, they fucked her up pretty badly and she has no clue how to interact with people correctly — instead she puts on a weird performance of how she believes people act…

Williams' weak acting definitely hurts the character. Last season when she was in Booth's wine celler and "cried," I couldn't tell if Marnie was genuinely crying or only crying because it would make Booth want her/console her.
