What that quote should read is "I suppose if she took me to New York City or some Red Carpet Event [without a swag suite with thousands of dollars of free stuff for me and mine] I'd be the same way."
That blog was a rabbit hole I soo did not need to fall down. In shocked and horrified curiosity I just wasted a good two hours contributing to their page views.
@SuperStella: Well I'm not sure where you have been living or what you have been watching but I see a news story every other day talking about how obesity is an epidemic complete with pictures of headless fat people walking around. The First Lady has made healthy lifestyles her biggest platform because obesity is such a problem. The reasoning behind the two people meeting on Mike and Molly is Overeaters Anonymous for crying out loud. Obesity is treated like an epidemic, that message is everywhere.
@SuperStella: You are comparing banishing cigarettes to banishing fat people.
The show depicts the characters struggling to make healthier choices but because they are also human beings they also show them living and falling in love. What is so bad about depicting this on a TV show? Tell me what about the behavior they have shown on the show is so deplorable.
@SuperStella: The difference between criticizing a person and criticizing an action or behavior. A fat person is more than just a compulsive eater just as a smoker is more than just someone who smokes. If the show had the characters knocking back double downs and whole cheesy crust pizzas then you could argue that it is just as bad as smoking, but the show's food focus was on portion control.
I can suspend a lot of disbelief for this show, shrug off stupid stuff like the football storyline but my biggest problem is that Autumn Reeser should be a damn superhero too. It is absolutely unacceptable to make her a sidekick, she was born to kick some bad guy ass.
For me Chuck just airs too early. I would watch it live if it were an hour later. And I bet No Ordinary Family would get more live viewers if it were not competing with Glee.
@prettypithy: fake sweeteners are extraordinarily unhealthy but because it is culturally accepted that they don't directly make you fatter, they don't get the bad press they deserve.
@Archon Divinus: I don't think the point was to be pro or anti religion or atheism, but just a representation of what happens when different religious viewpoints clash. If anything it demonstrated why religion in school is such a hot button issue, everyone has a different point of view and what is comforting for some is wildly uncomfortable for others.
It would be unrealistic in an episode about religion to let an Atheist character not have to argue about faith and god especially on a show set in middle America.
Rather than let Kurt's story arch be a journey towards faith in God they let it be a journey towards patience and understanding in one's friends, even when they were incapable doing the same. In that respect the Atheist character came off stronger than the devoutly religious characters who hounded their friend when he was grieving.
