I watched the first episode. Haven't been able to catch any others yet.
I need to check and see if it is on Hulu.

I've been watching it. It's cute.

No, but I will now.
Pooh Bear, glad to see you here; been missing you!

I saw it advertised but haven't watched. Ditto Sue_va, very nice to see you here Pooh Bear!

I am watching. The last couple of episodes have not been that great. I do wonder how long this show can go on. I can't see it as a Sex and the City thing lasting 10 years.

I do wonder about myself...if I had to pretend to be younger. Could I? I look young. People always think I am my husband's daughter. But, do I want to pretend to fit in? No,. I like the confidence I've gained and I also do not need the approval from my friends like the character Liza. You could say she went from having a controlling husband to a group of friends who now control her.

I am also old fashioned. I didn't like how she apologized to her male friend for being mad about him having sex with someone else the next night. I do not like that blasé type attitude towards intimacy.

If anyone is interested in seeing the show, they're running all episodes to date on Sunday evening on TVLand.

GWLake, I agree that, as usual, the continuing episodes aren't as good as the first couple, and it's not the kind of show that Sex and the City was (though I wasn't a fan of that show). I don't think her husband was controlling, however. More absent and untrustworthy (gambling addict, then philanderer). I don't see that her friends control her either. Yes, she's trying to fit in, but she interferes with them just as much or more as they do her. It's really more that with this group there's an instant, filters off, intimacy that's more characteristic of people that age.

Interesting question about whether one would want to try to pass for younger. I had to go to a big meeting on my birthday and everyone who said Happy Birthday asked if it was my 29th. Everyone. It was hysterical. But, of course, the point is there's no way I could pass for 29. I could probably pass for mid-30's if I were able to remember which things I wasn't supposed to be able to remember. I have a genetically youngish complexion and my hands and neck aren't bad. People generally think I'm substantially younger than I am based on looks. But would I want to live a lie? Never!

Would I do it if it were the only way I could get a decent job in my field? I don't know at what point of desperation I'd be willing to throw my scruples to the wind, but everyone has one. Where it involves legal papers and signing oaths, I probably couldn't go. I wouldn't want to do anything illegal. It used to be that using a false name wasn't illegal so long as one didn't do it for purposes of fraud. I imagine that the would be the same with a false age, too. Since age discrimination is illegal, adjusting the age to meet expectations only tilts it back in favor of what it should have been to begin with. But I think that's all illegal nowadays because of the post-911 freedoms eliminations, and even if it isn't, employment applications often have avowals of truth, which would make it fraud. Plus, I don't think in the data age that you can actually get away with it. Big employers have simple background checks that would find that her stated year of graduation wasn't correct.

Would I continue it to get something going with a guy I really liked? That's harder and easier. It would be so tempting, but who wants a relationship based on a lie. I don't think I could. Especially because a 26-year-old guy dating a 26-year-old girl, even if he isn't thinking actively about it (because guys rarely do) has to have lingering in his subconscious that the girl he's wild about is a potential mate and mother. When I was that age, one of my friends married a 40-year-old woman, but he knew exactly who she was when they met, and there were a lot of issues that wouldn't have been there with a woman his own age.

Every generation criticizes the sexual mores of their children, including back in history when they criticized them for being mealy-mouthed prudes.

Thanks for the great questions. :)
