Bill Keller, who gave up his job as executive editor of the NYT to spend more time with his family writing, has a column today* where he calls the HBO show Girls “aggressively hip.” Keller is older than I am, and I know that I am too old to recognize “aggressively hip” if it comes up and bites me on the tush. If something strikes me as “aggressively hip,” I know by definition it cannot be.
I just thought Girls was about a group of young people living in Hell, with Hell this time set in Brooklyn. Maybe that’s redundant.

It seems I can’t turn a page in the NYT’s without something about Lena Dunham biting me in the tush . . .he!!
I know, she’s everywhere.
Just watched the whole season in three days. Waiting for the finale this Sunday. Lena Dunham is a talented and brilliant young woman who knows no fear. The show is addictive.
It’s definitely a black comedy. Dunham’s character Hannah is the “George Costanza” of the show but smarter, more sympathetic and intelligent.
The problem will be how to continue this saga for more than a year or so. Everyone grows up eventually and if not, becomes homeless. I don’t see a successful show about a homless girl.
I always thought Jerry’s apartment in Seinfeld was Hell.
They kept Friends going all those years. I think you’re feeling sick because of the Sawx.
