[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've watched the first two episodes so far and while it's pretty terrible, I'm probably going to keep watching only because i do like seeing these young people who are interested in marrying within Judaism. I'm Jewish, and when I was in my teens and 20's (I'm 51 now) my parents made it very very clear that they would not accept me marrying anyone who isn't jewish. I swore I wouldn't put my own kids under that pressure, and I stick to that, but it's nice to see these youngins who want it for themselves. I also just love seeing all these different versions of Judaism on my tv screen. [b] I do worry though whether non-Jews who are watching are thinking that these people are idiots, and how this will lead to more stereotyping.[/b] [/quote] In fairness, this show isn't any different from Indian Matchmaking or the plethora of matchmaking shows that came before it. For all these shows, prerequisite for entry is complete stupidity. So I don't think viewers are going to think that it is a Jewish thing but a reality TV thing. I cannot stand any of these shows BTW because the characters are always bottom of the barrel. [/quote]
