Post by: calfzilla on October 27, 2015, 05:58:21 PM
Not since the days of Roseanne have we had a healthy supply of fat people of TV.

Hmm, I dunno.  You had Doug/Kevin James on "King of Queens."  For that matter, you could sometimes include Leah Remini in the fat category.  She was still cute as hell, but definitely on the chubbette side some years :D

Then you've got those Mike and Molly types, and I reckon they're bigger than Roseanne and hubby ever were.  Of course, "Roseanne" was far more popular.

Well, two thirds of your population is either fat or obese. So yes, quite underrepresented. Keep it that way! If I wanted to look at morbidly obese losers I'd switch on the light in the bathroom.

And Doug had a slim, intelligent and fine wife. But, at the same time he was a presented as a bumbling idiot. You see how they try to portray the American married man?

Oh, I know, my good man.  He was usually played for the fool.  The fat fuck even had a ritual in which he'd eat a Whopper before dinner ... every night, LOL.

My only point was that his slim, magma-hot Carrie, porked up there for awhile.  She had to have gained a good 30-40 pounds.  Maybe that was during a period in which Leah was preggers and/or trying to quit smoking for the millionth time; regardless, she DID fatten up, even if she was still severely fuckable IMO.

But I do despise how American sitcoms make the men of the house(s) these gormless, ham-fisted hedonists who only seem to care about food and pussy.  That's part of the reason I don't watch network TV ... that, and the laugh-tracks, as if I need some lame cue to recognize legit humor.

Men on cable tend to be better-drawn.  Even a gluttonous, brutish sort like Ray Stevenson's Titus Pullo had more depth in him than all of the chickenshit NBC, ABC and CBS sorts combined.  Then you've got your Walter Whites, your Lannisters, etc., etc.
