Yep that was the show. It makes me wonder, what standards still exist in terms of decency??
the entire episode is online. the actual line is “did you take care of business down there?” “are you kidding me? i am waxed like a ballroom floor.” this is between the mom and the grandmother, not the mom and her (age of consent) teenage daughter. the mom is blonde and her date is a black dude (but the dude is still played as a passive dork). it is all around non-stop effectively imho advocating cosmo style lifestyle. the intro involves the daughter announcing that she is going to lake tahoe to become a blackjack dealer. the mother says no, but lets the grandmother step in. the grandmother says fine, on the premise that the daughter needs to find out for herself what an idiot she is. the mother says something like she will become a stripper within a month. it apparently goes on for an entire half hour (with commercials) like this. who needs sex education classes (and for that matter, cosmo) when you can watch and learn for free.
I would at least have taken “did you take care of business down there” as referring to something like maybe birth control, but apparently i am hopelessly outdated.
i took certain pejoratives related to this lifestyle out of an early draft of the response. i think this was and is the correct thing to do, not to judge too harshly. for example, the mom character indicates that the last time she has had sex was 14 months ago. i wonder what women think of this program. is it a lifestyle choice? beyond that, what is such a program doing airing at all on primetime big 3 TV with presumably a lot of teenage and pre-teen kids watching?
For contrast, just for fun, anyone recall the old TV show “Harrigan and Son”? Or if not, maybe “Dr. Kildare?” A different era, a different universe perhaps. Evidently, we all live on bizarro world now! Whatever we do, don’t ever say it can’t get any more strange than this, because if we say that, it surely will get even more strange!
