Just giggling over Molly's Ally McBeal piece. Molly acknowledges the show's imperfections - and there are many - but conculdes that:
"i think the show was actually a great influence in our culture. it brought feminism, however gently, however watered-down, into the living rooms of millions of people every week."
I just don't buy that. If anyone's still interested in feminism, then I think AMcB is a kind of fictional anti-feminism; where women are only motivated by getting their man, and where they get really really good jobs without doing any work. Possibly entirely based on how they look.
I wrote a piece about this when the show started. All I have to do now is get some webspace, and load my columns, and send you there. Mmm. Sure I can do it...
