Rewatching Ally McBeal

[Anonymous]

Watching Richard Fish in court and hearing his Fishisms now that I’m older is so amusing!

I was in law school when the show originally aired. It’s interesting to see the show from a generation+ ago addressing issues like gay, trans, race, sex, religion, etc. Very interesting.

Do the eating disorders stand out? All I can remember is how thin all the actresses were!

I think the first season was filmed before Spanx were around because you see natural rolls in season 1 when Jane and others wear certain clothing.

This is so funny b/c I was thinking of doing the same. I was also in law school when it aired. I was wondering how it has aged. I loved it so much at the time.

I tried and most of it is cringey.

Ally mcBeal and Portia de Rossi’s character are painfully thin

Psst: being thin doesn't equate to having an eating disorder.

So... overweight is "normal," but underweight is abnormal. Got it.

You might not know that both actresses talked about their eating disorders publicly.

You are absurd if you think some people don't have small frames.
