*** They actually did have a couple Jewish historians on staff and I've heard from Rabbis that this is all very accurate. Non-Jewish maids are a staple of kosher kitchens because they can do things like boil water or turn on and off lights on the Shabbat (although that's controversial). I'm not entirely sure about the prominence of conservative or reconstructionist judaism during this era, but their congregation looks a lot like the conservative synagogues I grew up with.

[[folder:If you fire Midge, wouldn't she go to the tabloids even louder?]]
* Isn't it a strategic risk? Firing a disgruntled comic who already hinted at their sexuality could just go straight to the tabloids out of anger.

* Zelda's wedding just has the main cast there. Where is Zelda's groom? Had Zelda made no other friends? Also, doesn't Midge have a brother?

** This is a common criticism to see in period pieces that are produced in the 2010s but set in the 1960s, 1970s or even the 1980s. In these sorts of period pieces, like ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety'', ''Series/MadMen'', ''Film/NowAndThen'', ''Film/StandByMe'', and ''Series/StrangerThings'' (to a lesser extent), they all take place in a time where having children was a requirement (for women, at least) to being a functioning and upstanding member of society, and children often didn't have their needs accommodated by their parents. It's only been in recent decades (think starting at TheEighties) where Helicopter Parenting and concerns over children being with strangers became topics of debate and concern; think of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' and other shows from TheNineties and on where parenting philosophies are topics for episodes and dialogue. A mother like Didi Pickles would never have been thought of as MyBelovedSmother in the 1950s, but rather as over-coddling her boys.
