I just started watching this show. I am not really loving it and dont get why it is So highly rated, but I see its appeal and quality of the production and it can be entertaining. Especially the lyrics to the songs are usually quite funny.
However, Rebecca (the main character) is an insufferable super-needy psycho. And the show is positioning her to eventually capture Joshs hear I guess? I am on episode 7 season 1 and its headed that way. How would that ever happen and why?
I get that she is pretty and has big boobs etc but she is just damaged and annoying person. Why would Josh (or any "normal") guy want to be with her other than for sex or something occasional?
To the men here- do you not see her as a complete psycho? not just "cuetsy bit off" but really deranged (and broken inside as they sing in the theme song). What redeemable qualities does she have other than her cleavage??
I dont even get her female friends why they even remotely like her or hang out with her. Lying psychotic obsessed and needy - why would you let the into your life??
I get that damaged characters have some tv appeal. Sheldon, Barney, Phoebe, etc. But Rebecca to me is a really repulsive and supper immature person. What am I missing?

If it went without saying, "don't stick your d*** in crazy" wouldn't be a saying.

Not really sure what the question for men is. If the question is do we like boobs I think the answer is obvious. If the question is do we watch the CW... I would certainly hope not.

I would certainly hope not. its: why would a girl as crazy/manipulative/needy, routinely lying to everyone about everything be someone two main characters (neither of them being crazy on her level, both being very good looking) fall in love with her? I am just trying to understand whats attractive about being manipulative, needy and crazy to men. but i can just as well accept the answer: its the boobs. everything else is unimportant. |

Guys will put up with a lot if you're hot but television is not reality. |

Like others said it has to be the boobs.
I don't watch the show but a coworker of mine is married to a kind of control freak that can't let go. Before she retired (she was working for the union so she knew pretty much everybody), she used to come and see him to know what was going on each day and what everybody was doing. She would come up or call him 4-5 times a day! Now that she's retired, she calls him up to 8 times a day! C'mon cut the ties and get a life!
But he puts up with that, why? Because she wears something like a 40DD and he always make jokes and comments to another busty coworker about how he likes them big.
I'm not 100% sure but really seams like he does all that because he gets to play with them at home. As simple as that.

I think its a sublime show about the limitations we place on ourselves and how we go about placibg them on the people within our lives as well. Also have yet to see a show which accurately captures mental health.

How is that portrayed in the show? take becca and greg basically. Both are there own worst enemies and ultimately are self sabotaging themselves on a daily basis. |

It's literally the lowest rated show on broadcast TV.

I've only watched of few first episodes of season 1 when it first aired and have always wondered if West Covina,CA is the unremarkable suburban hell that it seems to be portrayed.

I'm trying to figure out why female stalkers are supposed to be funny and adorable while male ones are supposed to be dangerous.

Shes shown plenty of times to be crossing the line with people. but somehow both of the main characters still fall in love with her?? and the only character who really didnt like her ways was Valencia - and they even changed THAT and got them to be friends. When Valencia seemed to be the only rational one who saw through Rebeccas shit and called her on it. The toxicity of Rebecca and Paulas relationship also kills me. By now I watch the show because the songs are well written and funny, but in almost each episode I get upset about how crazy she is with everyone ignoring it tolerating it or even liking it. She is a pathological liar and manipulator. but they still present her as a likeable character… beats me. And its not like in Archer style where he is openly being a dick and everybody calls him on it. Its just "look at me being all cutely crazy isnt that something" grrr. |
