Sometimes our favorite shows will try to convince us that we can't see what we KNOW we can see, or that we ARE seeing something that's not really there, like a phantom limb. Join the TV Doctor for a discussion of three shows that try to get away with this kind of okie doke: Married at First Sight, Basketball Wives, and 90 Day Fiancé.
P.S. I mentioned an article in the episode, but I forgot to cite it for you. It's called "Unruly Women and Carnivalesque Countercontrol: Offensive Humor in Mediated Social Protest" (2019) and the authors are Anne Graefer, Allaina Kilby, and Inger-Lise Kalviknes Bore.
