Girls and SATC are "comedies" not sitcoms. The Mindy Project is a sitcom. Much harder to tackle something like abortion in that context. Other sitcoms, like All In The Family and Maude have tackled serious subject matter, though.

Makes sense actually. Probably to cut down on drunkenness.

He's one of the foremost cardiac surgeons in the U.S. If, goodness forbid, Pres. Obama had a cardiac issue it would be unsurprising if Dr. Oz were requested to do the surgery or at least consult.

Well stated.

Love me some Ms. Poehler.

Am looking forward to seeing this.

Grades are just one part of it. The most amazing grades in the world may get you an interview with a prestigious law firm but if you show up in a micr-mini and a halter top to the interview you will NOT get an offer for a summer internship. And even if you do get the internship and show up to work consistently with…

In this case because it's a nursing school which are professional programs.

I think he's quite a talented singer and dancer.

Your comment is troubling.

"Sexism in Dress Code!!!!" seems like the new "Photoshopping Scandal!!!!" of Jezebel. Why is it so shocking/upsetting that different spaces call for different codes of dress?

The no earrings/no nail polish rule in radiology programs is for safety.

But it's not an opinion that you have. The man told a joke and you didn't get the joke. That's fine, no biggie. Happens all the time. But not understanding a joke is not an "opinion." I don't understand Mandarin Chinese but my not understanding Mandarin Chinese is not an "opinion" about the language.

If Jon Hamm were standing next to me I don't think I'd be able to tell it was him. Have never seen even 30 seconds of Mad Men and I've never seen Bridesmaids.

The lesson is that in certain spaces certain rules/norms/customs apply. I went to law school and for our Moot Court competitions we wore suits. Did wearing a suit make my brief or argument better? Nope. But there was a seriousness to our purpose and our wearing suits reflected that. We were also mimicing the…

IT WAS A JOKE.

It was a joke! Goodness gracious.

It's not just work, however. Different spaces call for different codes of conduct, including dress. Being in a house of worship necessitates a different code of conduct than being at a baseball game. Yet for some young people these "soft skills" are not taught in the home. It makes sense to me that schools would…
