You know the type I mean...Needs to be reminded of responsibility and maturity, often the butt of his supposed loved one's jokes, basically getting total reamings in the areas of life, love and respect even if they're in positions of authority.
Some examples of the shows and actors I'm talking about (Sorry if the list is bereft of women...I haven't seen enough female-oriented sitcoms):
-Dave Foley on "NewsRadio"
-Harry Anderson on "Night Court" and "Dave's World"
-Ray Romano on "Everybody Loves Raymond"
-Tim Allen on "Home Improvement"
-Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
-Ed O'Neill on "Married...With Children"
The characters these actors play were/are losers supreme. If most of these stars have had behind-the-scenes input, couldn't they have made their characters more respectable and less like fools?
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...
Would Mary Tyler Moore on her eponymous 70s sitcom fit my description as well?
