Based on critical praise upon it's cancellation and the need for some nice tv viewing during the winter I embarked on a journey to watch The New Adventures Of Old Christine.
As the journey concludes I am left with a feeling of utter confusion.
I don't believe I've ever seen a lead sitcom character that you could use just about any negative adjective to describe.
The lead is self absorbed, nasty, dumb, irritating, condescending, delusional etc etc etc. She makes Becker look like a ray of sunshine.
This would be somewhat acceptable if she somehow got her comeuppance via the other characters but she's somehow always written as a heroin we should feel sorry for and/or laugh with instead of at.
The positive reviews leave me perplexed.
