Am I the only one watching this very funny show? It’s like “Ally McBeal” mixed with “Seinfeld” with a big musical number thrown in every episode. It’s on opposite Monday Night Football AND Dancing With The Stars, but it seems like I have been hooked since the first episode.

'tis odd, I thought everything on the CW was trash. But with an open mind, I checked out this show. Ultra-liberal Rolling Stone loves it. They call it “TV’s Best Stalker Musical Comedy”. Oh, good, because we all need more stalker role models. The article continues to gush: “honest, irreverent and frankly feminist”. Feminist! So rare on television!

Rachel Bloom made her mark with a “raunchy” video with an unrepeatably obscene name. “The Sexy Getting Ready Song” in the series lets loose a blue streak of profanity. Is it bleeped on broadcast TV? I don’t know. It’s certainly not suitable for any age group, man or woman. The search for identity, Bloom says, is very hard to navigate. “So a girl who doesn’t know who she is and is trying on different identities by referring to popular culture is only bound to get more lost and more confused. We’re all trying to be Beyoncé and Sheryl Sandberg at the same time.”

So tell me, what redeeming values does this series have? Does a character have a crisis of doubt in faith and comes to love the Lord? Is there a sympathetic character who proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ? I don’t know, it’s kind of an off-chance, but I guess it could happen.

It is a good thing I got rid of my television set.

It’s not a religious show, so no, there’s no character who fits that criteria. It does have an eerily accurate depiction of what it feels like to live with anxiety/bipolar/depression - I certainly don’t expect anyone without such a diagnosis to understand that - mental health issues are a recurring story line - and Dr. Phil had a very funny cameo on the last episode. I’m glad The CW picked it up for a full season. It’s a very creative and funny show - for ADULTS (not kids.)

That explains the derogatory title of the series.
