Braless Watch examines feminism in TV shows from the 1950's when television took off to present day. We, the hosts, Beth and Lily, are a mother and daughter team. We have different perspectives because of our ages and life experience which creates a fun discussion! We provide the history and trigger warnings for each show as well as any trivia that comes up. Join us for the TV adventure you never knew you needed! New episodes are posted every other week on Wednesdays! Follow us on BlueSky @bralesswatch.bsky.social
Let’s go back to the sixties! This time on Braless Watch we are going over The Munsters. We are discussing the first half of season 1, so episodes 1 through 19. We'll be discussing how the show's parody of traditional family values and other TV shows of the time created a platform for societal commentary as well as some light feminist commentary. We also chat about how a modern reboot could actually work in our current unst...
Off we go to Demark! Braless Watch is discussing season 1 of the Danish show Rita this week. We talk about how Rita is self destructive and a rebel but also very protective of her students and kids. We also talk about the differences between Danish and American schools as well as cool aspects of Danish culture. Plus, this TV show is in Danish so we discuss watching with subtitles and how sometimes the English subtitles aren’t quite...
Time to hail a Taxi! This week we are discussing Season 1 of Taxi, where we take a look at Elaine being the token female character that did not get the spotlight she deserved. We also look at the side characters and how they are mostly there to affect the main cast, yet the situation or the character rarely comes up again (oh the joys of US network TV in the seventies). Join us on Braless Watch! Taxi!!

Ready to get into the dark, gritty world of NYC in Happy!? Braless Watch goes over season 1 of this dark comedy and how artistic this show is while being very feminist, even though the main character is a white guy. We also talk about the dichotomy of the two worlds shown - the hardened adult world and the playful kids world - and how they collide and clash. Intrigued yet??

On Braless Watch this week, we are chatting about Clean Slate’s Season 1, which was one of the final projects produced by the famous Norman Lear. We will be diving into how a small town in southern United States is different for LGBTQIA+ folx than a large city in the north, the good and the not so good. We will also look at how change can be a hard but a necessary thing for everyone to be their best self, especially for our trans n...

This time Braless Watch is covering Keeping Up Appearances, Season 1 (AKA Series 1). We will be discussing the differences in British and American cultures. We also talk about the very posh Hyacinth and why she wants to keep up with the high standards of royalty.

This week on Braless Watch we will be discussing I Love Lucy's Season 1, only episodes 1 through 17. This is part 1 of 2. We talk about the queen that is Lucille Ball, how revolutionary the show is, and how it doesn't quite hold up to today's standards (that doesn't stop us from watching though!) Listen in on how feminism is applied to cultural references back in the 50’s and how we react to that. Hope you enjoy it!
