Flanderization/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* ''[[iCarly]]'': In the first season, [[My Beloved Smother]] Mrs. Benson fit the pattern of [[Shown Their Work|classic OCD]]; in the second, [[Rule of Funny|not so much]].

** The first couple seasons Sam was an angry, vicious tomboy who enjoyed beating up Freddie and being a minor juvenile delinquent. [[It Got Worse]] in season 4, including her running a sweatshop by employing grade school children.

* ''[[Married... with Children]]'': Kelly Bundy's [[~~The~~ Brainless Beauty|stupidity]] (she was originally merely [[Book Dumb]]), along with Bud's [[Hollywood Geek|geekiness]]. The latter ended up being a blessing in disguise when it led to ''actual intelligence'', making him one of the few successful Bundys.

** Not to mention Kelly's promiscuity. Initially presented as simply being boy-crazy, then elevated to school-tramp, until by the time the show was over, she was such a slut that she would cheat on a guy if he so much as left her alone for a few minutes, and so dumb that the only way she could get out of a frat house was by shouting, "I'm pregnant!"

** Marcy goes from a moderate feminist with a disliking of Al and the occasional hint of psychosis into a full-blown misandrist [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] who will take action solely to make Al and/or men in general miserable. This might even fall under [[Fridge Brilliance]] as this only started happening after {{spoiler|her husband Steve left her}}.
