Anthony Bourdain's
No Reservations is one of my favorite TV shows because you get to watch him travel around the world to do and observe cool things and eat interesting kinds of food. I was watching the episode on Sweden, and at the very end, Bourdain talks about talking (throughout the show he makes reflections on what he experienced on his trips) with some people about how he hates
ABBA:
"It was on and on, deeper and deeper. So much
denial,
anger,
bargaining,
depression, and finally a kind of
acceptance."
DABDA! I remember studying these stages in AP Psych in high school.
Here is some info on the five stages of grief/dealing with loss, tragedy, etc.
Homer Simpson goes through these stages in an episode of The Simpsons (I think it was the one where he eats the poisonous part of
fugu, pufferfish, @ a Japanese place), but I can't find that clip online, and I'm too lazy right now to see if I have the episode on DVD somewhere.
