I don't know if it's already reached your radar, but there is rather new Netflix series called 13 Reasons Why which centres around a teenage boy called Clay, trying to deal with the suicide of a fellow student for which he, partly, is to blame for.
It has been my new binge-watching show for the past days and although it is really painful to watch, I deem the show really good and definitely worth watching. So here's the plot. The series commences with student Hannah Baker committing suicide by slitting her wrists and bleeding out in the bathtub. Before she committed suicide, she made 13 tapes, each dedicated to one person/reason as to why she killed herself. Clay Jensen, a geeky, not entirely popular boy receives the tapes and is ordered to listen to all of them and then passing them on to the next person. He is slowly learning about Hannah's past and what drove her to her decision. Also, he learns about the other people on the tapes who now also want to shut him up in case he wants to give the tapes to the police. I haven't watched the whole series yet, but so far it is very fast-paced, exciting and featuring great actors like newcomer Katherine Langford as Hannah Baker with whom you have to fall in love and whose loss you bemoan as a viewer. The horrible thing about this series is that you know it will ultimately end badly, with Hannah's death, and the closer you get to her and her pain, the more her pain becomes yours. I wouldn't recommend binge-watching it as it will make you cry and hate bullies even more than you hopefully do now. Clay Jensen, admittedly is a little harder to like - especially in the first episodes - as he doesn't do much but stand around and stare stupidly into thin air, sporting his nasty cut on his forehead. Of course, as it is a high school drama series, it features the always-popular-in-movies-and-series-but-seriously-hated-by-viewers football crowd of rowdy assholes you make hot-and-not lists of girls, rape them and shame-picture them to show around in the whole school. Even the gay men in this series are meanies to poor Hannah and in the end you're so paranoid you don't want to trust anyone or anybody ever again, as poor Hannah shouldn't have. This is the second worst thing about the series. It permanently jumps between the present in which Hannah is dead and Clay is listening to the tapes, and the past where all these things take place. So, you will see Hannah make a friend, but because you know he/she is on the tape, you will know he/she is a stupid asshole who contributed to Hannah's suicide in the end and it will make you cry even more when she pours our her heart to someone only to be crushed minutes later of screen time. But for people loving high school drama with a more sinister edge and a truly great message (look what you can achieve with your deeds, bullies), it is definitely worth a watch, but keep tissues ready!

On September 25th the eleventh season of TBBT is about to air, so it is time to recap the last episode of season 10 with a short recap of what happened. The Cooper-Nowitzki-Debacle The 10th season of The Big Bang Theory has come to a close with a mind-blowing finale in which Sheldon finally pops the big question to Amy. You wonder what triggered his decision to eventually come round and secure his girl’s heart (hopefully at least, Amy hasn’t said yes yet)? Well, it was the reappearance of Dr Ramona Nowitzki who first appeared in TBBT season 2 as the interested (and terribly creepy) grad student who was fascinated by Sheldon’s work and started to stalk him without him noticing her doing so (just remember the odd scene in which she shrubs Sheldon’s feet while he’s writing a paper…ugh). Anyway, she’s back and Amy’s going all jealous and insecure about the arrival of this new potential threat (“I’ve been smacking that ketchup bottle for a long time, all she’s got to do is tip it over and point it at her fries”), especially after Sheldon telling her – in his usual blissful naivety – that “Unlike you, she’s tall, blonde and used to be an Olympic swimmer”. Apart from the whole Cooper-Nowitzi-debacle, nothing else seems to be important in this specific episode and both the girls and the boys pretty over-obsess on what to do about it and whether to talk to Sheldon or Amy. Raj increasingly generates more pity than laughter (please, someone, give that guy a proper story-line already), including Howard revealing that Raj posts videos on dental flossing (a) ugh, b) terribly sad) and in him being rejected by Dr Nowitzki (“Dr Nowitzki, may I join you?” “No.”). Additionally, his friends are mean to him to an extent which makes you wonder whether they actually still consider him to be their friend (Bernadette states “There is a million reasons of women who would shoot Raj down” – Ouch). Leonard and Penny seem to be the odd couple they’ve always been and the story-line, again, hardly puts any emphasis on their relationship and what is going on in their lives except the one or other sideswipe Leonard gets from Penny, whereas Bernie and Howard seemingly find enough time to both leave the house, letting the viewers wonder where the heck their infant daughter is (ah, right, with Stuart, it feels like the only job he’s got these days is making sure the main characters can all constantly meet). So in the end, Penny tries to convince Sheldon he needs to realise Dr Nowitzki is after him which he – unsurprisingly – ignores, culminating in Dr Nowitzki kissing him and Sheldon flying to Princeton and proposing to Amy. However, before she can answer, the episode ends and we will have to wait to see whether we will have a Dr Amy Farrah Fowler-Cooper. Apart from the great cliff-hanger at the end, the episode definitely doesn’t deserve a spot in a best TBBT episodes ranking, at least not in my opinion, and I hope the slightly deteriorating level of comedy is going to improve in the next season. Xoxo, Gossip Girl. Sounds familiar? Well, probably you have already ousted the infamous words ending all the episodes of the 2007 launched TV show Gossip Girl. In 2012, the final season of Gossip Girl was aired and we were relieved of the Upper East Side drama between the Waldorfs, the Van der Woodsens, Archibalds, etc. It's been a long time ever since and I cannot say I've missed them, as I didn't like the show too much back then. However, I have been re-watching parts of the show and issues which I considered to be quite odd back when I was a teenager, I can now condemn as utterly stupid and wrong, wishing TV shows like that would stop airing as they do more harm than anything else. Here are 5 Things Considerably Wrong with the show and let me know what you think about it. 1) The Age Gap Admittedly, I have no clue how life on the Upper East Side actually works and if these people are as sick as presented in the show; still, there is something considerably wrong with the timeline in GG. Remember, when the show starts, the main characters are 16 years old and disregarding their choice of clothes (to which I will dedicate a point of its own), their behaviour according to their age is not only outrageous, but simply illogical. They sit in bars and drink champagne, they attend parties all the time without anyone chaperoning, make out with people and whatnot else; however, this is not even what I am referring to, as the show starts with the main character Serena van der Woodsen returning to New York after a year of scandal, drugs and wreaking havoc. Later on in the first season (where she is still sixteen), she tells Dan on Thanksgiving that "this will be her first Thanksgiving in a long time I'll remember." Honestly? When did she start slutting around and taking drugs? With eleven? Consider that BEFORE she left (so when she was fourteen or fifteen), she hooked up with Nate. Or even think of Chuck...he runs around in a suit aged sixteen (and doesn't get beat up, what kind of world is this?), drinks scotch and sleeps with prostitutes. Admittedly, his father really sucks in his role, but this is really hard-core. Aged sixteen he buys a Burlesque club and, even worse, when he shows the club to Blair, she comments "the years of whoring around and abusing alcohol have finally paid off." What the ****??? The YEARS? When did HE start? Honestly, I was on the late side with developing my sexual interactions, but still, I consider ten or eleven quite young to be abusing alcohol and sex - call me a prude if you must... 2) The Clothes Stupidity I daresay GG kicked off the trend that teenagers dress like hookers or grown-up business women in TV shows and I consider it to convey a very dangerous and wrong image to young girls. I know I am repeating myself here, but please remember these kids are supposed to be 16 and younger. Blair Waldorf is dressed like the editor of Vogue, Serena van der Woodsen considers anything else than heels beneath her standards and Chuck Bass runs around in velvet suits. Even more relatable characters like Dan Humphrey or Vanessa Abrahams sport outfits considered quite uncommon for teenagers including Dan's long black coat and Vanessa's high heels and (horrible!) colour combinations. We see a recurring problem in TV shows like Pretty Little Liars, 90210 or Riverdale. Think back of the previous GG show equivalent The O.C.. Even though the characters came from similar backgrounds as in GG, they were definitely not dressed as over-the-top as the people in GG. 3) Serena's RBF Upon re-watching GG, I can say without any further doubt that I cannot stand Serena. She is a spoilt, rich, stupid child who thinks she is now better than most other people, until someone crosses her path and she acts as selfishly and manipulative as the next girl in this world. Secondly, she is permanently described as impulsive but she is only stupid and I hate how Blake Lively speaks as her. Please speak up Blake, no one can understand your terrible mumbling. Also, Serena permanently sports RBF (resting bitch face) and I literally had to switch off the TV in between episodes because I couldn't stand seeing her stupid face with the opened lips one more second (at least now we know where Bella Swan got the idea from). And finally, Serena please comb your hair, it's always messy. 4) Dan's Hypocrisy Dan is the underdog who then is also revealed to be Gossip Girl (which, surprisingly, everyone easily forgives even though he made everybody's life hell for years). He lives in Brooklyn and is in love with Serena, even though she just treats him like shit most of the time. However, what is really annoying about Dan apart from his pouty lips is his hypocrisy towards the world of Serena and Co. He condemns them for scheming and their superficiality but is one of the worst often enough when it comes to the mentioned topics. Additionally, when you consider he is GG, he is the master of scheming and superficiality and shouldn't criticise anyone from the Upper East Side. 5) The Love Triangle Admittedly, love triangles are a common thing in TV shows but GG takes it to a complete new level. Just consider Nate, the smurf (editor's note: a smurf is a male slut) who made out first with Blair, Serena, Blair again, Vanessa, Serena (again!), Juliet Sharp, Raina Thorpe, Jenny, Ivy, Lola - in short, he banged anyone remotely interesting to the show. Chuck only nurtures his completely unhealthy and twisted relationship with Blair, which is so annoying come the third breakup that you wish for them to stay broken up. Serena goes through everybody pretty much too including Nate (when he cheats on Blair), Dan (numerous times), the teacher she got into jail (Juliet Sharp's brother), her university teacher, Nate's married older cousin and so on and so forth... The only one actually never hooking up in a real relationship is Jenny, but, hey, look at her...no one likes to date a raccoon. The most dangerous issue about these topics is what they convey to the people watching them. GG is a show for teenagers and adolescents and it conveys the message of gossiping, consumerism and a healthy sex life aged fifteen or younger. Think of shows like Gilmore Girls where Rory is a 16-year-old as it should be who wears jeans and shirts, dates (innocently) and wears high heels when the occasion suggests it. Please let's return to role models like that instead of having 16-year-old running around as if they were top managers of high profile firms. xoxo, oh no wait, that wasn't me...see you soon, Angie 1) The Father Abstinence Lane’s father is probably the most mysterious character in the GG saga. We know Lane has a dad and he must even live in the States as it is mentioned that he talks to Lane’s mother various times (S02E01 when Lane explains she’s heard her parents whisper behind their bedroom door); however, we NEVER see him (apart from in the A Year in the Life episode, but it doesn’t explain where he’s been all these other times). 2) The Gran Resurrection In S01E03 the Gilmores talk about Richard’s mother in a way which clearly indicates she is dead. When Rory points out the prettiness of the plates, Emily answers “They were your great-grandmother’s”. Richard says about her: “Lorelai the first was my mother. She was an extremely accomplished equestrian, a distinguished patron of the arts and she was also world-famous for her masquerade balls - she was quite a woman, my mother.” I don’t know about you, but to me that sounds as if she was as dead as a doornail. However, only mere episodes later (S01E18), Gran visits from London quite alive and nearly drives Emily into insanity. Definitely not cleverly planned, writers. 3) The Doppelganger Recurrence
There are various doppelgangers in GG you might not have noticed. There are some minor roles as well as the Kirk/Mick ambivalence, but the two most promiment are probably Gran/Aunt Marilyn and Sasha/Anna. After Gran dies, Aunt Marilyn appears and - even if you have to look twice - it is evident that she is the same actor of the just passed Gran (namely Marion Ross). And do you remember Sasha? Jimmy’s girlfriend (portrayed by Sherilyn Fenn)? The cool dog lady with blonde, short hair and the slightly disturbing daughter? Well, we see her much later again (and again with a slightly disturbing daughter), namely as Anna Nardini, mother of Luke’s daughter April. It is, however, quite hard to notice first-hand, as as Anna Nardini, she sports long brown hair and an elegant style. Still, she’s not as cool as Sasha… Also, do you remember Drella, the mean harpist from the Independence Inn? I am sure you couldn't guess where she re-occurs, but do you also remember Celine - the style advisor of the Gilmores? Yes, Drella and Celine are both portrayed by Alex Borstein, but it even took me several looks to figure it out. 4) The Hatrack Reposition When Gran visits the Gilmores in S01E18, Emily states she was here the last time when Lorelai was 12 years old, which must be about twenty years ago. Emily calls Lorelai to bring the hatrack Gran gave Emily five years ago and Emily obsesses about it being in the very same spot whereas Lorelai replies “It might have moved an inch in the past five years.” If Gran was there twenty years ago, she can’t have seen the hatrack standing there in the first place, so why would she know it had been moved? 5) The Autumn/Spring Uncertainty In the episode where Rory and Emily go antique shopping in Stars Hollow (S01E19), Emily meets Michel, saying “J’adore Paris, Nous y allons chaque printemps”, which translates to “I love Paris, we go there every spring.” However, only five episodes before, Richard and Emily are upset about not getting their house on Martha’s Vineyar. When Lorelai suggests to go somewhere else, for instance, Europe, Emily responds they never go to Europe in spring, but in autumn to which Lorelai says they could still go in spring. Emily condescendingly answers what there is in Europe in spring...so what is it now, spring or autumn? 6) The Decade Leap When Jess arrives in Stars Hollow, Luke tells Lorelai his father left Liz two years ago even though, a bit later, it is stated that his dad went out to buy cigarettes when he was a baby. Did Jess jump from age two to age seventeen in two years? 7) The Regalski Disappearance Remember Dave Regalski? He was Lane’s boyfriend at some point and member of Hep Alien, Lane’s band. Dave eventually moved to California to study there but Lane and him are still together. At some point, they’re suddenly not together anymore and it is never mentioned why or when it happened! Suddenly Lane is crushing on Zack and we’re left to assume what happened between Lane and Dave… 8) The Prom Inconsistency Sometimes I really wonder if too many people wrote one episode because they’re so incoherent sometimes. In the prom episode in season 2, (E06), Lorelai speaks about her father, stating he should be exhilarated to see Rory participate in the debutante ball as she never did, only, when speaking to Christopher at the event later, they reminisce about their debutante balls. So did she now go or not? This inconsistency is also pointed out earlier in season 1 when Rory is stuck with Emily and Richard during a snowstorm. She gets down an album with pictures of Lorelai in one of which she is wearing her prom dress whereupon Emily and Richard react uptight, hurt that she never went. Later on, it sounds as if she attended hundreds of these balls - so what is it now? 9) The Photo Reappearance/Disappearance In S01E19, Rory asks Emily for baby photos of Lorelai to which Emily says there aren’t any because Lorelai burnt them as a little kid; however, in earlier in the season (E08) when Rory is stranded with her grandparents due to a snowstorm, they all look at Lorelai’s christening picture, Emily remarking that Lorelai spilt juice over her christening dress mere minutes after the picture was taken. Additionally, you see part of another baby picture on the other side, so there ARE baby pictures of Lorelai and the writers knew that when they decided to change the story. 10) The Penelin Lott Exchange In episode 8 of the first season, Rory is stuck with her grandparents during a snowstorm and they talk about wedding dresses whereas Emily states she had already known as a little child what her marriage should have looked to which Richard responds she wanted to marry Eroll Flynn and had a thing for pirates. He then states that, luckily, he took fencing lessons in college or he’d be married to Lucinda Leicester now. However, later, in the fourth season, it is explained that he was engaged to Penelin Lott when Emily appeared on his screen - which then is also the reason for their split-up. Penelin, Lucinda, Emily - Richard you really are a stud! 11) The Date Insufficiency In season 4, when Rory goes on her first college date, she states she has no experience with dating, as she’s only been in relationships. Lorelai wants to advise her upon which Rory says Lorelai has no dating experience either, as Christopher and her had Rory - therefore, relationship, then Max, another relationship, and then Chris again. Relationship. Does she really imply Lorelai only had relationships with Chris and Max? From the reputation sold to us of Lorelai the teen, she must have had hundreds of dates with guys and this notion is simply stupid. Alright, this doesn't really fit in with the Harry Potter Weeks; however, I am currently re-watching Pretty Little Liars after the finale was released and will write a more detailed opinion on the finale in a bit of time when the Potter Weeks have come to a close and more people had the chance to watch the PLL finale (so less spoiler alert). For now, however, I want to write about the PLL mums, mainly judging from the first four seasons and how I would rank them. Here we go.
1 Ashley Marin Uncatchable in the first place, of course, is Ashley Marin. She is a true lioness of a mother and always protects Hanna and despite the hardship she and Hanna had to face due to Wilden, the divorce and many other little incidents, Ashley keeps reassuring Hanna and telling her everything will be fine. Ashley Marin definitely isn't a mother to mess with, as Wilden has to learn and Hanna's (terrible) father. Hanna can be lucky to have such a great mother and role model in her life. 2 Veronica Hastings Sure, the Hastings put a lot of pressure on their daughters, and often it seems to much; however, Veronica, too, always stands up for her daughter when it comes to the tough bits, fights for her. Also, when we learn that Spencer isn't actually her child but the bastard of Mary Drake and her husband, it is even admirable that she can love her so much and steps up for Spencer when she needs it. 3 Pamela Fields I think Pamela generally is a good mother and she does a lot for Emily, too; however, her appalling attitude towards Emily's gayness at the beginning puts her third in this ranking. Still, she apologises for her behaviour later and I think we can all agree that Maya sucked and we totally understand Mrs Fields didn't like her. 4 Ella Montgomery For me, Ella is the worst mother in the PLL series and living proof that "giving your children free choices" and forgoing your duties as a parent can be easily mixed up. Not only does Aria look like a whore aged 15 who garners the interest of men 10 years older than her (alright, it might only be seven, but still), but Ella also leaves her children behind after her husband cheated on HER. I would kick the guy to the kerb and lock the door. Admittedly, Byron is a lousy parent, too, but he sees that Mike clearly needs help and that the relationship between Aria and Fitz is sick (which it totally is, think about it...) Then, she finds a new love toy and moves to Europe, abandoning her kids once more ... Ella, some people shouldn't have children, you know... That's it from PLL for today, I hope you enjoyed reading it and more is to come in the ever-growing rubric movies, series and obsessions. As I already did a piece on sitcoms and how babies kill them, I wanted to write about something else bugging me on television. It might appear as if I was watching far too much TV to be able to write about it so extensively, but, hey, I am a freelance writer, so there is lots and lots of time to cover between writing.
I have to admit I am completely obsessed with Pretty Little Liars (henceforth PLL). I know it is a teenager's series, but I find it very entertaining, exciting and scary. Additionally, it features the best TV character of the whole range of series (yes, Spencer Hastings, I am talking about you) and just watching Spencer all day makes my day (is that sad?) However, upon watching it I have noticed some issues I find rather annoying and which apply also to a range of other teenage series. If you agree or disagree, comment here or on Facebook. 1) Where the heck are your parents? In PLL we see the characters' parents; however, I would have to say they're quite terrible at their job of parenting as their fifteen/sixteen year old daughters can just walk around past midnight, dress like hookers and drink alcohol. Of course in PLL it isn't by far as horrible as in Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl or 90210 where you actually wonder if you should call the social services because they're doing such a bullshit job as parents. 2) How gross is Ezra Fitz? I have never understood why there could be any Ezria fans because I think it is disgusting. For all the non PLL fans, Aria is one of the characters, aged fifteen at the beginning, and Ezra Fitz is her teacher with whom she starts an affair and the series is trying to tell people that it is totally normal and acceptable. Well, I think it is gross when an at least 25 year old man fancies fifteen/sixteen year old girls who go to school - even though Aria really dresses like a whore. 3) The clothes???? Alright, I was never a role model for fashion when I was fifteen/sixteen. I looked horrible, seriously; however, I would still say the Liars dress in ways which are just stupid. Hanna looks like a business woman/wife of a rich billionaire and Aria looks like a mixture of circus director, hooker and goth chick. I have to admit that Spencer mostly looks believable and Emily actually looks like a teenager with her jeans and sweaters. 4) What's wrong with Alison? OK, we would need a full post entry for that but I am referring to her sluttiness. On the Liars' path of finding out about her secret past, she hooks up with Ezra (ewww, this guy really is a perv, not a hottie), goes to college parties, etc...When did she start this bullshit? With twelve? Ugh, her parents really suck at their job. 5) How daft can you be? Of course the series wants to create suspension and tension but how often do you have to use the same tools to achieve that? Seriously, during the series the girls repeatedly all walk into a room which is then closed by A or when they all come out again their car has been stolen or a message is written on the wind screen. Just a remainder, their group consists of four and up to seven people and they don't get the idea that at least ONE person could stand watch and tell the other people if someone is coming or at least position someone OUTSIDE a room with a lockable door???? Also, why do all of you have front doors out of glass? That is like the stupidest thing I have ever heard, not only can people peep easily into your privacy, they can also easily break into the house and, furthermore, why does no one of you DRAW THE CURTAINS AT NIGHT????? It is nearly as if you wanted A to peep inside and watch your every move. 6) Why does it never occur to you to consult the police? OK, this is a little daft as the whole series relies on them not going to the police and Wilden's corruption adds to it; however, in some episodes it really reaches a level of stupidity to not go to the cops and ask their help. 7) Why don't you double and triple save things??? Again, this is an issue that has occurred various times in the series. The girls get some information on a flash-drive/email/text, decide to bring it to the police (but not on this very same day out of some reason) and then A deletes it and they are back to square 1. If I got information which could help me prove a psychopathic stalker was behind me, I would immediately save it to all computers I have and those of my friends, saving it online and printing out the pics to make sure they cannot be all destroyed!! Don't be so daft, Liars! So this were the few things bugging me out and there are more to come on PLL, Gilmore Girls and Harry Potter and possibly some few more to come and I hope you enjoyed reading it and if you disagree or agree with me, I would like to hear from you in either case. I am a huge fan of the sitcoms How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory (or, as Trump would say, yuge fan, the best in the world, seriously, yuge).
However, I think most fans can agree that towards the finishing lines, they often lose their level of greatness and descend to being solely endured, rather than enjoyed. I can say that only for HIMYM, for sure though. We all know how it ended, and most agreed that the ending sucked. However, I think the whole last season sucked to a standard which wasn't in any way acceptable any more. I mean, the episode with the last slap? Embarrassingly pathetic. TBBT is my favourite sitcom in the world - even far better than HIMYM in my opinion. I think what is so great about TBBT is that it behaved atypical to many other sitcoms, with the years and seasons, it actually always became better and better instead of worse. Think about it, we started with four quirky nerds and a gullible, yet sweet girl and we loved it; however, throw in Bernadette and Amy (my personal favourite, to be honest) and it becomes just hilarious and awesome. Also, I felt that the characters of TBBT were developing in some sort of way, which is often unusual for sitcoms which are so humorous. Don't get me wrong, the characters in HIMYM seemingly develop, too, but do they really? Mostly (and also in the end, more or less) we have Lily and Marshal in love and Ted, Robin and Barney in a weird threesome situation (again), so actually, they haven't been really developing - they only got older. Throughout the series they are still co-dependent on each other to an almost unbearable extent and towards the end I, and probably many more, was just glad I didn't have to see them anymore as they were simply annoying me. The last season of TBBT (10, if you haven't stayed up-to-date), started out pretty poorly, too, in my opinion. My man and I were sorely disappointed of many episodes and although it's been catching up in the last three or so, it just doesn't seem to work so well anymore. I have a theory to this. The moment Lily and Marshal got Marvin, the quality of the sitcom started to drop. Now, Bernadette and Howard have a baby, and it happens again. Why is that? Well, people who have babies don't meet their friends everyday in a tiny apartment and have time for the things Lily/Marshal and Bernadette/Howard seem easily to find (things like buying comic books, hanging out with their friends every day and sipping drinks). HIMYM and TBBT base on groups of young people who come to a city where they have no family and find each other (more or less, of course some exceptions, but, hey, Howard is Jewish - his mother wouldn't let him go anywhere). It is fun to watch them have fun and do unspeakable things most of us can only dream of, which is why we love to watch it; however, throw in a baby in the equation and it suddenly just seems sad. Lily and Marshal still hang out in the bar ALL THE TIME although they have a baby to look after. Bernie and Howie still have dinner in a teeny weeny apartment (compared to their house) and he seems to be free to play with his friends at the same time Bernadette meets with Penny and Amy. I am, of course, not saying you cannot maintain friendship when you have a baby, but I doubt that young parents have the energy and time to spend so much of it with their friends, seemingly abandoning the baby in the process. I have to admit, I like the way TBBT deals with it better, as it works in a different way than HIMYM (so profound, isn't it, but these really are the things I think about in my leisure time...sad). In HIMYM everything works over much more time frames and gives a more general insight into life whereas in TBBT we mostly see how the characters meet in the cafeteria or in one home, without really knowing how much time was in between (whether they eat together nearly every day or just every week). Therefore, it makes a little more sense to think they have just put their daughter down after they spent the whole day with her; still, the baby just kills the sitcom...or probably family does, as I hardly believe anyone who had a healthy, young family would spend so much doing things they did in their twenties...only compare to SATC, four young, single New Yorker women who constantly meet for cocktails? Alright. Four grown women who have children, work and other commitments? Sad. Just saying. |
