kicks it up a notch, keeping our gaze with Bryant’s Annie as she undergoes the procedure. We hear the doctor narrating what’s going on so that Annie is aware of the process.

Women choosing to be childfree is one area in which pop culture still needs to catch up to the standard Elaine set.Not only does the episode, “The Sponge,” put contraception front and center, it places it on such a pedestal that Elaine must deem her partnersof it. The episode aired in December of 1995 and spared no expense when it came to making a spectacle out of birth control sponges—though part of the joke is just how judgmental others were as Elaine stockpiled hers.
But because we had Elaine, we could later have Liz Lemon . Lemon often played the klutz, but she could also be the straight man to her co-worker Tracy Jordan .
