Episode: Episode 590--Babes
Description: Over the years, overweight people were ridiculed on television and in the movies as slow, messy, dumb, lazy, and were often the butt of jokes. One show avoided those stereotypes, showing a trio of overweight sisters trying to improve themselves health-wise and career-wise, and being empathetic souls looking out for their fellow men. Credit Babes for attempting to dispel the outdated stereotypes, though the series only lasted a single season.
