Which character got on your nerves? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A.D.A. Casey Novak · 02-03-2007, 09:51 AM

First off, I love this show and I think the actors were all good. But certain ones just grated on my nerves. As much as I like LM, some of her scenes (especially in the last couple of seasons) made me cringe. She was so over-the-top and sort of embarrassing. None of the others really annoyed me all that much. Oh yes, there was Crystal. I couldn't stand that way she walked. I'm not quite sure what her purpose on the show was.

Being a huge Roseanne fan, there was no one character that annoyed me. I love them all. However, like you pointed out, there were times when the characters just irritated the sh*t outta me for one reason or another.

Roseanne: Her demeaner and behavior in the later seasons. She was sarcastic WAAAAY TOOOO MUCH. She seemed unhappy, she was not the usual jovial self as she was in the early seasons. She almost always had a sad or mad look on her face, rarely happy (except when they won the lotto). Even during her pregnancy episodes, Roseanne was not the same...that baby shower episode showed such a callous Roseanne as if she didn't give a damn that she was having a baby.

Becky: Ok, this is the character that ANNOYED ME. Not the original Becky, the substitute Becky. She was not the same. I don't mean by looks, but by how the NEW BECKY acted and behaved. That Becky did and said things that the OLD BECKY would not have.

Darlene: How she cheated on David. I realize she fell in love too quickly with David and therefore, was missing out on her teen years by sticking with one guy, however, she treated David shabbily, and then turns around and marries him later.

Jackie: God, when she turned into that mannish person, no longer looking like a woman, no longer wearing dresses, always dressed up like the trucker that she was, that was soooooo boring and stupid.

Do you mean after she had the baby or before that?

ooops let me re-edit my post

As for Jackie, I meant how she was after the baby.

The Second Becky got on my nerves, she was too valley girl for the character and sounded like she was reading from cue cards.

I always liked David but he needed a backbone, he was the white Elvin(Cosby Show).

I must say I hated the Nancy character later on, I was pleased that Roseanne brought on a lesbian character but I had a huge problem with the way it was handled...

Nancy declared herself a lesbian but later on liked a man. It was fine if she declared herself as a bisexual but she declared herself to be a lesbian. For her to go back and forth brought on the old idea that clueless straight people had about lesbianism "a good man will turn her back"..

I still maintain Jackie becoming Barney Fife really destroyed the character. She still had funny moments but it was not as consistent.

Nancy was pointless post Season 6, I liked her before that though.

If I'm feeling particularly cynical, I would say Roseanne gets on my nerves starting with Season 6, when, like Ireneparalegal mentioned, she became way too sarcastic. But, I usually do like her.

Every character has at least a couple episodes or time periods where I don't care for them..

Crystal.... she was just....... pointless.

I hated the Becky character after she was re-cast. Her character just did things that when Lecy was playing her she would never have done. Such as working at "Buns" plus the fact that Sarah Chalke just didn't play her right. Like someone said it sounded like she was reading from cue cards.

TheLandfordLunchBox · 02-07-2007, 07:27 PM

I agree ^^ Well put.
