Was Claire ever wrong about anything? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 05-11-2003, 02:11 PM

This woman annoyed the hell out of me. Ms.I know everything, I know what not to do, and I don't make mistakes. Did Claire's Perfectness irritate anyone else?

*InThisMoment* · 05-11-2003, 06:03 PM

Nope.she was great!

I really thought this message board was made to talk about the different things we liked about the cosby show.Not reasons for why we hated it, if that was the case, why waste your time complaining. I must be mistaken....No comment at all, just an observation...a little pity though...

I liked the cosby show. But it's just certain things that bothered me that's all. We all have things we don't like about our favorite shows. So you must liked all the characters, all the episodes and all the guest stars. Please don't tell me that's true.

I came back to this thread because I was going to post my thoughts this weekend, but forgot. Gee, I'm glad I didn't let you all know what I really think of Clair, or some of you may have gotten a trama.

Don't anyone think I automatically rally with SOLOMON, but he has got a point. Let's be real here. If these boards were really meant for only talking about what we like, they would be utterly boring. Not every aspect of a show, it's characters, or actors is perfect, and you all know that. So why not let some of us participate in interesting conversation and discuss various topics? Some of you may have no need to critique anything or debate with anyone, but others find it interesting.

And call-alluejah, your post WAS a comment, not just an observation. Are you so afraid to just be upfront about your comments, you have to say it wasn't one, when it clearly was?

call-alluejah · 05-14-2003, 02:24 AM

To tell you the truth, I really don't have any problem with the Cosby Show, I do love all the characters, and even if i did have a problem with one of the characters, personally I believe I would just appreciate that. But I do understand that there are things that could bother a fan with any show, and i do recognize that's what your trying to point out.It's just that it seems when i read the message board comments, It seems that they are grown from hatred of the character which is inside of the show, and it just comes across to me as an unappreciation of such a great show. But i do understand again that there are things that could bother a fan, i just look at the negatives as positives, truthfully. But i digress...

All right. I get that. It's cool.

I agree with Cashodeen and SOLOMON; even though the show is great and I love it, Clair(e?) annoyed me sometimes. She had some pretty funny moments, and it's always fun watching her laugh after Bill does something goofy.

Claire was kind of stuck up to me.

theanswerman · 06-05-2003, 04:21 PM

i think that is what made it funny

MonarC · 06-05-2003, 04:34 PM

I think Clair was right about a lot of things and is a very smart woman andvery well educated. But she didn't get on my nerves. I think she was at times a little too hard on Cliff. But that's what made their relationship work...

Yeah it worked for the show, but in the real world a relationship like that would hardly work. Around here, we have a name for husbands like Cliff...

Clair was STUUUCK UUUP. Being smart is one thing, but being conceited about it is another. And Cliff was just as "educated" as her. But yes, I agree, she ended up being correct about many things. And, I wouldn't change her character at all because it helped shape the show. But people in real life that act like that need a serious can o' whoop ass.

EXactly, she was very stuck up. And i think that irritated me the Most. I'm not to seeing a stuck up mother on a sitcom.

Do you think the show would have been better if she wasn't that way? I can't really decide. It's like I said, I wouldn't change the show, because her attitude shaped it (IE, gave her a chance to be right about everything, it let Cliff play the "goofball husband.") But on the other hand, I would often resent her behavior. I guess because I know the show is UNREALISTIC I can tolerate the attitude, but in my own life people like her irritate me. Fortunately, I don't really come across people like that.

call-alluejah · 06-07-2003, 04:12 AM

Just a thought, but maybe you have been in contact with people like that, but u haven't known it. Claire's stuck up attitude really encountered the people that she knew closely, like her family. This could have been because she didn't want them to do wrong, and she thought she knew better(whether she did or not is a different story). But she was nice to people outside of the house and didn't really show the stuck up ness to those people(i think).

She was a lawyer anyway, think about that. about 98.7 percent of lawyers are stuck up in some way.
I'm not refuting that she was stuck up, just that maybe you have met those people before.
just a thought....
