  My wife got one when we met. Watching her be in so much pain was horrible. She got it out as soon as possible. It took a few more years after that but I got a vasectomy and I couldn’t possibly recommend it more highly.

  Maybe they did. I just remember it feeling unresolved. I’m bad at remembering details of a show anyway

  In Buffy the Vampire Slayer there is a plotline that to my knowledge never gets fleshed out. Giles gets a visit from an old frenemy named Ethan Rayne. They have nicknames for each other that are supposed to be a secret. Giles is Ripper and I don’t remember what Ethan’s was. They have some shared tattoo of a symbol and there’s some sort of spell craft involved?

  Anyway, Ethan comes back a few times but they never really explain the whole thing.

  They have to show rich people because it’s what most people aspire to be.

  If they show working class people, then they end up telling on themselves. Homer Simpson was able to pay for a house, three kids and two cars all while being the sole income. All the working class sitcoms of the 90’s seem unrealistic because the characters all work dead end jobs but can still afford those nice TV houses.

  It looks unrealistic anymore because we’re out here having to grind so hard just to keep a roof over our heads. Nevermind paying for kids! People won’t watch something that doesn’t reflect their life in some way. At least with the rich people on tv, you can project yourself into that life and not be reminded that you are more broken than the characters of Roseanne and you’re working harder.

  Obviously this isn’t a defense, it’s just one read on why they don’t show “normal” people.
