ER is on Hulu, and I’ve Never Been Happier
Let me tell you a little story about Teenage Meghan. She was SOOOO OBSESSED with the television show ER, that she dressed up as one of the characters for Halloween in senior year.

Law & Order: SVU has been on television for 17 Seasons – the age of legal consent in New York State! What? Don’t act like you’re not in love with SVU, and don’t act shocked!

Can You Be A Feminist And LOVE Reality TV?
