In a recent interview with WNYC podcast Nancy, Transparent showrunner Jill Soloway spoke about mishandling claims of sexual harassment on set and how their desire to protect the Amazon series initially superseded their desire to protect the women who came forward.
The moon landing. The Kennedy assassination. “I’m not looking for a man. Let’s start there.” The 2016 election. These are events that define a generation—moments we’ll never forget, nor forget where we were when we learned that they’d happened. Is Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloé Kardashian one of those events? No.…
Robb Stark is back, baby!
We are happy to bring to you a first look at Snatches: Moments from Women’s Lives as part of a media partnership between Jezebel and BBC America.
On Wednesday night, a death occurred on Modern Family—a death that had been teased throughout the duration of this seemingly interminable show’s 10th season.
The Big Bang Theory is a CBS sitcom about a group of geeky adults that has run for 12 staggeringly long years. In that time period, it has attracted critical ire, many Emmys, and earned its stars million-dollar salaries. But now this show is dying and I, a pop culture critic with a heart made of onyx who has never…
The Property Brothers are two big and tall boys who sort of know how to do home renovation; they are also illusionists and musicians. They are the bane of my very existence, haunting my second-favorite cable channel, HGTV, with their grim visages, their clean, white teeth, and their dopey affect. They have dominated…
Welcome to Jezebel Endorses, a monthly feature where we endorse the small things that give us pleasure and keep us going.
In September, Roseanne Barr revealed her Roseanne character would die of an opioid overdose on The Conners, and so it was. Tuesday’s premiere episode—essentially the start of the 11th season of Roseanne, sans Roseanne—continued a narrative thread introduced last season regarding Roseanne’s dependency on pain meds due…

On Monday Bloomberg reported that Netflix is developing a series of specials in which viewers can basically choose the outcome of the episode.
On Thursday night, after an agonizing, devastating, infuriating day of Kavanaugh hearings, Murphy Brown returned to prime-time television for the first time in two decades, after its initial final episode aired in 1998. Set in the present after Murphy Brown’s (Candice Bergen) retirement from televised news journalism,…
*Wipes sweat from my brow* Somehow we all survived an Emmy Awards hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che! #MeToo jokes were made, diversity was lampooned, and interns were paraded. And in case you weren’t aware, many people tonight did win tiny golden statues who weren’t a part of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. So here are…
Life’s a bitch, and then you die. For the cast of the awards season favorite Modern Family, life is eight consecutive years of Emmy nominations, and now one of you must get the axe.
A new study found that 7 percent of all speaking roles for women in television go to Latina actors. It was one of the only bright spots in the report from San Diego State’s Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film; previously it was just 5 percent of all speaking roles. Oh yay! Crumbs? I love crumbs.
A truly artful scene in “Our Raison d’Etre,” the premiere episode of the second season of The Deuce, shows Maggie Gyllenhaal, shot from above, lying prostrate in a teddy, looking blankly at the ceiling. Her character Candy, an ingenious full-service sex worker-turned-porn director and star, has spent a day cutting a…
When I think back on my most formative moments there is the shower threesome on The Real World: Miami; the wet t-shirt contests of MTV spring break programming; and there’s typing “a/s/l” into mid- to late-’90s AOL chatrooms and making bumbling attempts at cybersex. But none of these moments even begin to approach the…
You have to wonder whether Dr. Pimple Popper (née Dr. Sandra Lee) is a sadist. Yes, she has devoted her career to helping the lump-afflicted. Yes, she wields a local anesthetic to numb wherever on the body she goes in to dig. But not only is she unsparing in the gory details of her work, which routinely finds pus…
We’ll miss her kindness. We’ll miss her food metaphors. We’ll miss her splash mask. Join us as we say goodbye (for now) to the single most disgusting series in the history of basic cable, Dr. Pimple Popper.
Dr. Pimple Popper, a show full of things I can’t quite believe that I’m seeing even though I tune in every week, will return for a second season in January 2019. That’s about five months away, so do keep your barf bags handy.
