on Girlfriends . . .
I just wanted to take a minute to recognize this CW television network show. I only started watching about two seasons ago and catch older episodes in repeats. However, in it’s seventh season, and despite the loss of Jill Marie Jones, the show is fresh, energized and interesting.
This season the show has tackled domestic violence, marriage, the intersection of religion, sex and love, and how class and status still affect our ability to relate to and love our own. The shows characters are successful, but not just because of their jobs. The success is in the honest treatment of characters, inspired acting and writing that guarantees not an episode goes by and I don’t think of someone in my family, or hear something one of my friends has said.
There is an obvious attention to detail in this show. Creator Mara Brock Akil’s and producer Kelsey Grammar (yes . . . Frasier) have assembled a marvelous cast and crew that actually recalls the wit and vulnerability of shows like Frasier. It’s not enough to just be funny or dramatic, but to be able to reveal the comedy and the tragedy of the characters in their strongest and weakest moments. Thank goodness we have a show that captures our insecurities, successes, fears, triumphs, tendencies and goals without pandering to obvious stereotypes or treating its characters as any less or any more than human beings. Brava!
