kirsten Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Everyone hates the women in these shows. I'm playing the sexism card just to see what happens. They should be allowed to be dicks when their husbands are worse dicks.It's a weird theme. Betty Draper, Carmela Soprano, Skyler White. Ladies who are treated like shit and everyone is supposed to hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I think that's the thing, The wives are just plain old annoying. And normally, the guys are bad because of problems, the girls are bad 'cause they're a bunch of cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Rick is a cunt. But his wife is a bigger cunt. Rick's reckless, but he knows his son will be safe with his wife.who then in turn, is reckless, and puts the kid in danger by out-cunting Rick.

Soda Jerk Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've still not finished Season 1 of Breaking Bad. Infact, I think I've only watched 3 episodes. I just keep putting it off for sitcoms. Sitcoms always come first. Am I a bad man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's less of a cunt in the comics, and then, you know, becomes mentally ill with a phonebut TVRick is sort of like, a hero that no one wants, and his heroism ends up making others unhappy.

Woodsinho Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I've still not finished Season 1 of Breaking Bad. Infact, I think I've only watched 3 episodes. I just keep putting it off for sitcoms. Sitcoms always come first. Am I a bad man?That's what I do except I made it into season 2 of Breaking Bad once upon a time.I tried watching The Walking Dead but I kept being distracted because the guy from Teachers was speaking funny. Teachers was great. Except for that last year when most of the main cast changed. I missed Kurt most of all.I've been enjoying the reemergence of the Adult Swim block on Friday nights (on TCM2 for some reason). Having a weekly dose of Tim and Eric, Robot Chicken, Venture Brothers and Sealab 2021 to watch on Saturday morning is pretty great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 You are wrong about Rick.he gets away with it sometimes, but most of the time it just gives his wife an excuse to be a dick. If it was just him and Carl, then yeah, go for it. It's all his wife's fault.And so we come back to it, the wives are bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Knob Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wait. When did Breaking Bad start again and how far into the new season is it? BB has to be one of the best shows currently going, aside from Californication and The Walking Dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I only have three episodes of Community left to watch and I'm scared as to what will happen when there are no more. This happened at the end of both Modern Family and Freaks & Geeks too, so don't worry guys - I'll get over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Skylar has been annoying and a bitch at times. I guess the main reason why people would hate her is that back in season one when the viewer was most likely behind Walt, still seeing him as someone who just took a desperate path to help his family, Skylar was always an obstacle. I anyway, just wanted her out the way so Walt could get on with sorting out the mess he'd created. As time goes on Walt loses more and more of any likable personality but you still kind of hope there's something there, whereas with Skylar who has got less annoying and and difficult it's hard to shake the opinions formed in beginning.I don't think it's too different with the other cases mentioned in The Sopranos or Mad Men. Both have lead male characters who are given a lot of depth right from the start and you want them to sort out their problems and find some kind of happiness. Their wives until later on are just shallow irritating characters who give you no reason to like them. No matter what happens later it's always difficult to shake your original views. Mad Men at least does have plenty of other likable characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
