    You CAN Do That On Television
    Once upon a time, there were un-PC, intelligently-written, utterly raunchy shows for adults.

    That time has come again with Svetlana.

    Comedienne Iris Bahr (a favorite from her NPR sketches as Fiona Chutney and Svetlana) pushes the envelope with every episode, often to screamingly funny effect. Fans of Curb Your Enthusiam--on which Bahr has appeared--will enjoy plentiful "do I cringe or do I laugh" moments. Seeing Bahr have her "poonani" waxed into a fanciful design, try to hire a driver ("You look like you are the breenk"), make a yoga teacher cry ("Can we do the anal breathing?") and accept unlikely prostitution clients ("Shh-it's Ahmadinejad!") is hilarious.

    The music is beyond funny, ranging from upbeat accordion to fake Russian club music, and would make a great CD.
