The Big Four-Oh (#2.7)

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 23 April 2018]

Aunt Vivian turns 40 and decides to try her dancing career that she gave up for teaching.

This episode isn't a very funny one. But it is a nice story. And it is great to watch Janet Hubert do that amazing dance. She looks great in that outfit and does some amazing dancing there. And of course we are all happy for aunt Vivian proving to herself that she could be a dancer. She already did a lot in life, her life makes one have a midlife crisis when comparing.

40??? Hilary is 22...

If Vivian is only turning 40, then that must mean she had Hilary when she was 18...that woman had her hands full: undergrad, masters, PhD, and managed to get a successful job as a college professor, all while her children were little??? Hmm...ROFL

Horrified

[Begovil · 3 July 2020]

I was horrified at the portrayal of a woman in her late 30's as an old granny... really? I thought (and wished) they had been joking throughout the whole episode! If I was 40 I would have suffered from severe depression after watching this episode... Come on? What are the hopes for a woman in her 60s like my mum then? She is beautiful and she gets even more beaus than myself, and I am a model on my twenties.

This is truly shameful and embarrassing to watch, as it's quite easy to see how women have been belittled all along the history, even in the early 90's when this episode was streamed which is only 30 years ago! Troubling, sad and unfair just to say the least.

I only rated this episode with 2 stars and that's solely because of how STUNNING auntie Vivan looked on that pale pink jumpsuit. I wish I look like that when I reach 40 years old I swear to God!
