Why He/She Is Crazy |
Why We Like Them Anyway |
| Ruth |
Let us count the ways: boyfriend hopping (no shortage of men for this homely old lady), new-age self help, self-tourture over how difficult life is and over lack of closeness with her children.
|
Frumpy house dresses, ankle socks, and lack of lipstick.
|
| David |
Neurotic worrier.
|
He�s nice to the people with dead loved ones. He wants a normal family life, albeit a homosexual normal family life where the swinging is kept to a minimum.
|
| Nate |
Lots of anguish, week after week.
|
Life deals Nate some bad stuff. He almost died, only to have his new wife actually die just a season later.
|
| Claire |
She�s a little wild, uses drugs, dropped out of school, and picks bad boyfriends.
|
She stays pretty cheerful. We could hang out with her and have a good time.
|
| Brenda |
Was so mentally messed up, that she was actually in a textbook. Will have sex with just about anyone.
|
Not much really goes right for Brenda. She deserves a break. Our liking Brenda is the least she deserves from fictional life.
|
| George |
Confused old man in la la land.
|
His insanity is real mental disease, and he is just an old man after all. Besides, confused old men in la la land are kind of amusing.
|
| Billy |
Prone to fits of rage, and tried to get it on with his sister.
|
Prone to fits of rage, and tried to get it on with his sister.
|
| Brenda & Billy�s mom |
The almost stereotypical over-controlling mother trying to manipulate the grown daughter. Sound familiar to anyone?
|
We really don�t.
|
| Rico |
Lost wife because of decision to embrace a flirtatious but non sexual relationship with a bimbo who used him.
|
Not really a bad guy, just kind of a dumb ass. Still prefers his wife to his dates, and really isn�t any good at the dating thing.
|
| Keith |
Previous season anger issues have pretty much gone away. Keith is probably the least crazy of all of them. I don�t even recall a scene where�s he�s interacted with dead people. Come to think of it, what is he doing with the rest of this group?
|
Acts tough, but always proves himself to be a nice guy in the end.
