If you live in the United States, you are not seeing anything like this on TV right now. Yes, it's cheesy, yes, it's campy, yes, continuity is mostly pastede on yay
(how many colleges did Rose Nylund go to? three, according to the series: an agricultural college, a different agricultural college, and one where she majored in Pig Latin, and then there's the episode where she reveals she never graduated from high school and takes a night school history class from Dorothy, despite having said in season two that she was the valedictorian of St. Olaf High School, having graduated fourth in her class (they drew straws to see who got valedictorian))
yes, it has a tendency to make every episode A Very Special Episode, but you know what? I'm having a hard time thinking of another show that portrayed sexually active older women as a normal, healthy phenomenon. Or that was willing to come out and say, "you know what? AIDS is an everybody disease, so haters to the left." Or any number of other social issues the show took on while being -- fifteen years later -- entirely hilarious. Every episode passes the Bechdel Test. And you can tell that the actresses were having the time of their lives. I love my show a lot.
