"Friends"

Annnnd … adding “Friends” to the list of potential shows to discuss on the Disability.TV Podcast.

So far it’s pretty bad about disability when it’s used for random joking purposes. And if you count fat-shaming it’s awful. However, it's not too bad when it very occasional deals with disability head-on. Remember the one where Sherilyn Fenn played an amputee dating Chandler?

It wasn’t exactly groundbreaking, but I like how she confronts Chandler, asking him flat out if her prosthetic botheres him, “Because I don’t like wasting my time”.
