Seems like calling a show Christian because it shows characters in a church and doesn't make a joke about it.

I hadn't seen this blog post yet, and it was so refreshing to read. I've actually never seen this show, as I don't watch any TV, but now I want to seek out this show. I really like your point about how the show treats feminism and feminist values as normal. You're right. Feminism doesn't need to be marketed and sold to consumers, it just needs to be presented as normal, to break all the ridiculous negative and stigmatizing stereotypes that go along with it. Great post. :) I LOVE this! I hadn’t seen this blog post yet, and it was so refreshing to read. I’ve actually never seen this show, as I don’t watch any TV, but now I want to seek out this show.

After I finish getting over this miserable cold, you know it's that miserable when the person who has it will take any opportunity to complain about it, heh.
