I've heard that UK television has less of a problem with the portrayal of women's bodies.

(Anonymous) 2009-10-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)People are always going to want to appeal to the person they find attractive. This is not going to change as long as humanity exists. What needs to change is the narrow definition of attractive and worthy we have as a culture.

It's always going to be true, but that doesn't mean it's good. Humans will always be selfish and fallible, but I don't have to like it.

I mean, it's still often a beauty pageant but I don't know that you'd get shows like Two Fat Ladies, Ab Fab or French & Saunders made in the USA. I don't know that Victoria Wood would have become famous in the USA. We've got our treasured older women, like Judi Dench and Zoe Wanamaker. There's that piece of elbow room on UK TV for women who aren't thin and/or beautiful.
When my husband first saw the ads for the UK version of The Office on Comedy Central a couple of weeks ago, he pointed to a female character and said that she was wearing an ugly dress, and that in a US show they'd never do that. I don't watch much TV and I don't follow fashion so I've no idea how accurate a statement that is, but it makes sense that fashion would follow the rest of the beauty industry wherever the advertising industry is involved.
The other big difference is that US TV seems to be built on movie conventions and UK TV seems to be built on stage conventions, and perfection in form and image definitely belongs more to the former.
