I've literally heard that precise explanation for why
educated women watch reality TV in general.

Word for word, exactly.

Of course, its bullshit.

Same way I lie and say that I enjoy watching a knuckleballer
as much as I do a power pitcher because I "appreciate the
nuances to the game."

People like TV shows for all kinds of dumbass reasons.

The difference: people intellectualize 'Girls'.

And they intellectualize it because its author recognizes
how to throw that crowd a bone.

Its no smarter than 'Jersey Shore'. It just has a hook
into the people who award Golden Globes
