Just bought season 1 and I totally forgot about...


her sister going on a date with their cousin. She says that he is their third cousin, but seriously...

reply

I know! I guess it wasn't as frowned upon back then? But still...pretty weird.

Don't you think that's part of the joke? That Brenda is so desperate for a date that she'd go out with her cousin?

reply

Yes, that was totally the source of the joke -- Brenda's desperation. She says in the same episode, "I have this date tonight, and, uh, it's kind of special, 'cuz it's not ... you know ... a blind date -- I mean ... he's SEEN ME already."

reply

Yes, it was frowned on dating your cousin back in 1974 ...

My cousin would have thought it was normal - she got drunk and tried to come onto me at her parents' 25th anniversary party. EEEEWWWWWW

Thank God I haven't seen her in over 20 years.



I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.
