Hey, Look Me Over (#7.1)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 24 February 2014]

Rose finds an old camera of Charlies' and gets pictures developed. She finds out in shock that there is him in bed with Blanche on those pictures. She is very upset but at the end forgives Blanche because she is so important to her. And Dorothy tries to get Sophia to get hearing aids just to find out that Sophia's hearing is fine while she needs it.

Well the way Rose's story ends was a bit dumb, why would Blanche make pictures of herself after finding Charlies' camera? And it wasn't necessary to change it I didn't think badly of Blanche because of it. It is always only the fault of the one who is cheating which would have been Charlie in this case. It was nice to see that even if Rose didn't think like that she knew she loves Blanche anyways.

Well that explains the puffiness.

The issue involving Rose's old camera and her suspicions that her late husband Charlie had an affair with Blanche has many issues with reality, especially since Blanche didn't recall using her camera, or even checking to see if it had film. Because of that suspicion, Rose stops speaking to Blanche and it's up to Dorothy to make sense of things. She's already having enough issues with Sophia, trying to get her to have a hearing test which has amusing results, making the B plot line better than the A plot. Conversations about Rose going through the change or being over her cycle take on different meanings with the girls comparing her to the Pillsbury doughboy. That part of Rose's story is funny, but the story really has a lot of plot holes that makes this a weak episode.

Grr

What really bothers me about this episode is the sexism and, once again, the other girls attacking Blanche for being herself. If Charlie had slept with Blanche it wouldn't be Blanche's fault. It would be his alone. She wouldn't have known he was married. And in the end, it was a mistake by the camera, and no one ever truly apologizes and Blanche is expected, yet again, to apologize for being who she is. A man wouldn't have to.

The hearing storyline is ahead of its time and funny.
