Look! Up in the sky! It's a poem! It's a gnome!

It's "Shalom in the Home!"

Yeah, I finally got around to watching the pilot of Shmuely Boteach's new family-therapy-based reality show.

amd I'm critiquing his techniques the same way I critique stuff on ER.

(in a nutshell, his assessment and insight is surprisingly good, but I question some of his interventions, and I think one or two of the things he did in this episode kinda poked holes in the client system-practitioner relationship.)

(also, from a religious standpoint, he wasn't so makpid on shmirat negiah*, but there are enough valid reasons why he wouldn't need to be that I'm not making a fuss.)


* translation- dilligent about the laws pertaining to touching members of the opposite sex.

In other news, I want to hear about your night!
