OK, so since losing my job I’ve got far too much time on my hands and have been watching McCloud’s daughters of late.
Pretty simple question for farming dopers, do you really think the 3 (or is it four or whatever) sisters really be able to effectively handle the physical work on the farm as they are portrayed.
Sure they get occasional help from neighbours / boyfriends / hired hands, but to all intents and purposes they do it alone.
My recollection of growing up in a farming area in New Zealand is that there is NO WAY girls / women / ladies would be able to work a farm without some sort of full time male presence to do the heavy listing?
For the second show, I have also been watching Hannah Montana and a coupla things bug me.
What does Hannah’s / Miley’s father do for a living in the show? He seems to be her manager but I have never seen much else
Just how long would it take the media to out Miley given the situation in the show. It seems to me it would be pretty easy to bribe her limo driver into giving the drop-off address, get tax records, contract details (all has to be taken somewhere right, and paper trail would be easy to track down) or even better - simply follow her leaving a concert.
You realize that you’re probably at least 15 years older and half a lifetime more experienced in the real world than the Hanna Montana target audience, right? The whole thing is tweenage girl fantasy wish fulfillment…logic really need not apply.
Um…I have an answer for the first question. I refuse to acknowledge the Miley person. My dad died when I was six, and my mom, aunt, older sister and I ran our farm. Pigs, cows, chickens, etc. An uncle or two stopped by now and then to help, especially with fencing issues, or loading steers onto trucks, but day to day stuff we handled. We didn’t need no steenkin’ men.
