I have already proclaimed “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” as my favorite new show, but it just keeps giving me more and more reasons to love it. Not only is the dialogue crisp and clever and the ideas original and refreshing. These last couple of episodes saw Abby McCarthy (my darling Lisa Edelstein, who shines in this role) actively and unapologetically advocating for divorce and taking on slut shaming for all its ugliness. We sure have come a long way. This is, at least to

Exactly twenty years ago, “ER” was nominated for its first Golden Globe. It didn’t win, and in its fifteen seasons that followed it only ended up winning the coveted golden statuette once (in 1998, for Anthony Edwards). But it will forever go down in history as pioneering television, as one of the best series in the history of the medium, and as my personal all-time favorite television show. You will see the term “in the history of television” repeated in this blog multiple t

*SPOILER ALERT* If you haven’t seen the fourth episode of the third season of “Last Tango in Halifax” yet, then don’t read this until after you have. Last night’s “Last Tango in Halifax” brought back a feeling I hadn’t had in years. The elation of having same-sex marriage approved in two thirds of the country, of a new Pope who is calling for tolerance and acceptance, and of the myriad gay characters that almost every show on television has now, has made me forget how to prep

When Betty Draper, the oppressed housewife from “Mad Men,” who is probably named after Betty Friedan and her Feminine Mystique, feels depressed and cannot express her distress, her hands start shaking uncontrollably. Her husband Don sends her to a psychiatrist. Both husband and doctor agree that Betty has the emotions of a child. Her breasts, however, are obviously mature enough for the psychiatrist to gaze at. This has been a great decade for women in television. It seems li

Five years ago, a new show premiered with the images we had all come to know and cringe at the sight of: the politician who has just been caught with his pants around his ankles (or with his penis in a twitpic) standing behind a podium, apologizing profusely and promising to be a better man. Usually during those press conferences, I can barely focus on what the schmuck has to say because I can’t take my eyes off the woman standing beside him. What must be going through her he

We’ve finally arrived, ladies. NBC and ABC, two of the major networks, have both dedicated a whole night of primetime broadcast to us. NBC has been advertising their Wednesday night as “Woman Crush Wednesdays” (wait, do they mean these women are powerful or that these are women we crush on? Hmmm) with “The Mysteries of Laura,” “Law and Order: SVU” and “Chicago P.D.” back to back, all—they claim—lead by strong women (with guns, it’s important to add). ABC has branded its Thur
