Really? Or maybe this show turns off slightly dumb people who feel that every barb or stereotype depicted are to be taken very, very personally. Because, you know, nothing can be tongue-in-cheek anymore. It might offend someone!

If the "tongue-in-cheek" stereotypical barbs were about a minority, would it be a comedy then?

You're kidding right? Most comedy takes aim at various groups. People with a good sense of humor find it funny, not offensive. I guess you don't find someone like Chris Rock funny, because his comedy generally skewers black people? Or Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, or even Joan Rivers?

Those are comedians. Not a show based on stereotypes of one group of people shown in a negative light. Also that comment wasn't even serious, it was to point out the stupidity that if someone doesn't care to be stereotyped they must dumb right?

Ah, so it *did* hit a nerve! Too funny.

Wrong.

I just find it ironic that on DCUM if the stereotypical tables were turned it would be the most horrible thing in the history ever. And again, the original comment was to point out that hypocrisy, nothing with identifying with anyone on the show.

This show is not controversial, it's not good or clever or funny. If this chick IRL wasn't as connected as she was, this show would die a quick death, without anyone even noticing.

What? jeez you guys just don't get this show. this is obvious. She is quite likable, not an asshole at all. She's goofy and self-deprecating.

Really? You thought the way she kept looking at her phone and bouncing up and down and talking over the speaker during that meeting was polite, a meeting she was late for no less? How about when she didn't bother to read the invitation and was just going to drop her twins off at the party, which they were late for - when the rule was twins needed a parent at the party? Or when she pushed her twins off on another mom, left the party then returned 45 minutes late to get them costing the birthday mom money per minute for the venue? Then lets not forget how she ripped open one of the gifts for a 5 year old child and began writing notes on the box.

And the cherry on top of this goofy, self-deprecating, likeable everywoman - She goes to a funeral, interrupts a guest (speaker from before) and tries to bribe him, even though he asks her several times to leave him alone. Then she knocks over a bucket of golfballs having them spill all over the wake and her and her friend run off only making a half assed attempt to pick up some balls and no apology. And lest we forget this loveable line, "I heard Mother Theresa was a bitch."

Is it that they want us to laugh at what an horrible person she is? Is that what we are just "not getting"?

I know its a comedy, I love comedy. But this show is supposed to be "hahaha look at all the stuck up moms that are nothing like us" when this woman is herself is retched. Is bravo hoping viewers are identifying with her assholeish narcissistic behavior. Because yuck.

I might just have to hate watch this show to see how much more "likeable" she gets and if the "bad" moms ever actually do anything horrible. Not to mention she is so botoxed her face has two expressions, frozen and scrunched up. But her sisterinlaw is vapid and looks obsessed, right?

I'm one of the viewers who really liked the first episode, but I agree with you that Jill's behavior on the 2nd episode was really unlikeable. I was cringing at every rude thing she did, but you have to remember - it's a comedy! We're supposed to be finding it crass yet funny at the same time! I think the show isn't just a send-up of the stuck-up UES moms, but also of Jill herself - that she's clueless and fairly socially inept. It's just a comedy, people! Stop taking it so seriously.

It's not comedy - it's crap. And who takes shows like this seriously? Duh.
I just want to be able to chill for an hour or so and watch something light and junky. I want my hour back!

+1

Also the show is expressly billed as the lead is an awesome everyday mom and the other moms are out of touch. Shes a rude asshole that is yes very socially adept, is that what the writers think of everyday "normal" moms? Insulting

inept^ don't know why that autocorrected.
