Formative Performances: Keri Russell in “Felicity”
[Women’s History Month, Day 21] This next performance affected me even though it was from a show I did not regularly watch. I’ve been sort-of feminist since I was a little girl, but my understanding of feminism was shallow. I … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Yvette Nicole Brown in “Community”
[Women’s History Month, Day 20] This actress has been on the same show for three years and never been nominated for a Supporting Actress Emmy, and that’s just ridiculous, because she’s great. As Shirley Bennett on Community, Yvette Nicole Brown … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Grace Park in “Battlestar Galactica”
[Women’s History Month, Day 19] This next performer is not someone who is usually singled out for her acting, but she played two characters on a critically acclaimed show for four years and she deserves some recognition. Battlestar Galactica was … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Alison Brie in “Community”
[Women’s History Month, Day 18] This actress has been on the same show for three years and never been nominated for a Supporting Actress Emmy, and that’s just ridiculous, because she’s great. As Annie Edison on Community, Alison Brie is … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Sarah Michelle Gellar in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”

Formative Performances: Judy Reyes in “Scrubs”
[Women’s History Month, Day 14] Today’s highlighted actress had the sometimes thankless job of being the moral center and “straight man” on a sitcom: Judy Reyes on Scrubs. Scrubs is a show dear to my heart for its combination of … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Busy Phillips in “Freaks and Geeks”
[Women’s History Month, Day 13] You know what’s an amusing exercise? Watching an episode of Freaks and Geeks and counting the number of famous people in it: Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, Rashida Jones, and Professor James Franco, to name a … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Tina Fey in “30 Rock”
[Women’s History Month: Day 12] I really should have written something about Tina Fey and 30 Rock before today. But better late than never. Tina Fey has become super famous over the last decade, and rightly so. She’s multitalented, hilarious, … Continue reading
Formative Performances: Naya Rivera in “Glee”
[Women’s History Month, Day 11] Fuckin’ Glee, man. It’s such a dumb show, so filled with preachy speeches, ridiculous storylines, and repetitive musical performances, but when it shows gay people loving each other, it gets it so, so right, because … Continue reading
