Oh Sh**, there goes the planet!


(Meh. He is still a Rabbi. I think. Or something. But you get the point.)

(on the other hand, if it does well.. hey.. what the heck! When was the last time you heard of a frummy on TV that was a main character?

He's a sofer who also works part-time as a mohel. She's a shadchanis and sheitel-macher trying to start her own business. Together, they fight crime!

Gaah!

I tried reading his Kosher Sex book many years ago and there were matters where I knew better than him.
Heck, Dr. Ruth actually wrote a book on sex from a halachic perspective that was better than Boteach.

Argh.
