Julia Louis-Dreyfus did a lot of embarrassing things as Elaine over the many seasons of "Seinfeld," from a pilled-out Marlon Brando impression to the sultry voice of a sex phone operator, but none were quite as humiliating for the actor as that jerky little number in the final season. The legendary comedy series was filled with unforgettable moments up til the very end, and one of the most memorable things from the entire show — Elaine's iconic dance — doesn't occur until the season 8 episode "The Little Kicks," named after her ungainly movement. So why did a seasoned comedian like Louis-Dreyfus get so bashful, and where exactly did that dance come from anyway?
"She was very nervous about this because, as much of a trooper as she is to look foolish and being funny, she was a little worried about it being foolish and not being funny," explained "The Little Kicks" director...

“Regressive.” “Hostile to feminism.” “A male fantasy.” “Totally disempowered.” “Women as toilet paper.” “Sleazy and tawdry.” “Porny.”
Four weeks in, that’s how “The Idol” — HBO’s latest and one of its most scandalous Sunday night shows — was described to TheWrap by leading feminist voices who specialize in media. On the heels of the Parents and Television Media Council calling for HBO to cancel the series, it’s not just special interest parenting groups that have questioned the premium cable network’s decision to air the drama from “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and Reza Fahim.
“If we’re going to have our cake and eat it too, in this way of exploiting female sexuality in order to comment on the exploitation of female sexuality, I’m not sure that’s a super important message right now,” Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of “When Women Invented Television” and “Pop Star Goddesses,...

Sex and the City is one of the most impactful TV shows of all time. Set in the late ’90s and early 2000s in New York City, the show followed best friends Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) as they navigated their personal and professional lives.
The show was revolutionary for its time, but there was one hated episode of the show that still stands out today.

Sex and the City is a cultural phenomenon. The series began airing on HBO back in 1998. It spanned six seasons and two films. Now HBO is airing the follow-up series, And Just Like That. In the first season of the original show, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) often spoke directly to the audience.
This is why Carrie stopped breaking the fourth wall on the show.
