Like Dina McGreevey and Silda Spitzer before her, in the first episode, Margulies stands by her man during a press conference in which he denies allegations of trading political favors for financial and sexual ones. (He also has a penchant for prostitutes.) Eventually he gets locked up, and his wife has to pick up the pieces and go back to work to support her family. She's a lawyer — just like Hillary! — who goes to work at a firm run by Christine Baranski, a ball-buster who brings her lapdog to the office.

It's kind of amazing that this is such a seeming trend that it warranted an entire series. Maybe it could even work its way up to becoming a genre, like mob movies?

The subhead of "Mr. Big Gets Downsized" reads: "What happens when the breadwinner is toast? Chris Noth plays Mr. Mom, while Milla Jovovich leaves him with the crumbs." And so begins a role-reversal-ish photo shoot, in which the man is left at home to watch the rugrats while the woman is all business. Just like in The Hangover, it's supposedly instant comedy to see a man with a baby, as though men never parent and are as comfortable with kids as they are with, say, fainting goats.

It's so strange that this story is tied to the recession, downsizing and the economy. What if this were a non-fiction photo essay about some laid-off Bank Of America exec, and the poor dad looked as swamped as he does and that mom looked as distracted as she does and that little girl looked as sad as she does? Would you be like, wow, nice skirt, how much is that? Well, it's $695. Okay?

Don't get me wrong: Milla looks fierce. She is clearly taking calls about killing zombies and is saying stuff like, "I'm overbooked, but I can squeeze you in."

And what's this? Is the downsized dad flirting? Or just getting pre-school tips? And while it's great that Milla's training her mini-me to be a future CEO, shouldn't someone see what that little boy is crying about?

How many movies or TV shows have you seen where the dad makes a big stink (heh) about changing diapers?

Here's the thing: If this photoshoot were running, say, during the time when Mad Men is set — as a true, controversial role-reversal, then it would be one thing. But right now, when people are actually out of work; when women do struggle to balance career and kids — it's hard to decide if it's playful and funny or dark and depressing to see a distracted, possibly neglectful mom and a drowning, overwhelmed dad. Then again, maybe we're not meant to look too deeply into the set up. It's just a fashion shoot, right? This story is followed by an article on "investment pieces," featuring $10,300 handbags and $1,090 shoes. Priorities!

There were a lot of nauseating elements of this show, what with all the shoe analogies and shit, which is perhaps why they made everything so pink, so as to simulate a giant spoonful of Pepto Bismol.

And speaking of pink:

Dude has on a pink shirt with floral cuffs, and he's FREAKING out about SJP. I think it's safe to say that this is the gayest this guy has acted since he started having anal sex with other men.

They actually made it a point to acknowledge the other gay men in the audience as well.

None of them are nearly as fun as Pinky though.
