She tried to be super sexy but ended up just wearing a dress that’s too small.

I think shows have kind of a natural self life of about seven years. One the other hand, Holy Shit what kind of a hot mess is Once Upon A Time going to be next year?
I mean, he looks like he enjoys food, anyways. So there’s that.
Not sure what you’re asking me here. Cultural criticism requires both a degree of nuance and a deep well of understanding about the culture being criticized. So it requires a specific approach that most people do not use. Ethnocentrism is a real danger. When you occupy a position of power (i.e. you belong to or have…
I made it through all 6 seasons on Netflix. It’s not a bad show, but the longer you watch the more you realize that the writers/creators have no clue where they want these characters to end up so right now it’s just kind of grinding along with no direction except some vague notion they need to be following the comic…
Or, you know, when you finally get around to binging The Walking Dead and it fucks with your dreams so much you set a limit of no watching an hour before bedtime and you need something in between and there’s no Bob’s Burgers and seriously Rick just shot Sophia and all you really wanted was to watch the Ambergris…
Completely agree with all you’ve said. And there are some terribly judgemental comments on here that don’t further any conversation or discussion, which is unfortunate because a lot could be learned. I only knew of the practice (in theory) because my mother worked as a librarian in a Jewish youth library (we’re…
Yes, I get that it’s a work of fiction, thanks.
A sincere thank you to your husband for all he does. May I add that it takes a special person to be a therapist/clinician. I made a transition some years ago out of a clinical role (and into a higher-ed role) in another field, and man, I do not have the chops to do clinical work. Applying scientifically vetted…
tl;dr reply: I’m only going to answer your last question. Yes, you kind of are.
I’d toss in teaching as one that seems to be misrepresented a lot as well.
oh my life, this is not just TV! Here in the UK it is one of the most stigmatised professional jobs ever. Having “the socials” in is like a fate worse than death, people hate them, think they’re out to break up families etc etc. And yet so often it’s just that the family doesn’t want to face up to the fact that one of…
Another profession I think is ill done by in TV? Social workers. On medical dramas and law shows, they’re always the eeeeevil people who want to take your kids away, and that’s so different from the social workers I know. But if we had DCFS (premiering this fall on CBS!) we could have a cast of exceptionally…
I’m pretty sure the wife has the right to sue for divorce in a rabbinical court.
As an aspiring therapist I kind of hate shows like this. I have had so many clients and friends who have had really shitty therapists and are hesitant to get help when they need it because of it. We certainly don’t need more depictions of terrible therapists. Therapy is already stigmatized enough.
I don’t want this. I want Fringe, Bob’s Burgers and Buffy back.
Thx for the answer. You’d think Google had the answer for everything. Which is why I like Jezebel. For every question from the common to the most obscure, there’s bound to be someone with the right answer. Once, I even asked a question about the prairie dog sexual habits/reproduction and surprisingly got a detailed,…
I think if he was observant enough to care about this rule he wouldn’t be having premarital sex. It’s sweet that you considered his faith but I don’t think you have anything to worry about here.
Maybe, but as long as those rules aren’t harming anyone, I don’t judge.
