    No, not in that order.

    So your favorite character is Hazel?

    I always liked Hazel since she was like Kenneth’s “Bad Janet”, but I did understand why some fans…weren’t fans.

    Colleen is definitely in my top three favorites, though.

      Yes! I have always had a soft spot for “eccentric oddball” characters. On the other hand, “overbearing parent” characters tend to always be annoying. I recently watched Great News (produced by Fey), and had those same feelings for the meteorologist and the intern.

        I’ve heard of Great News but haven’t watched it beyond the first episode or two. Wasn’t paying enough attention to it to really get drawn in. It’s still on my watch list though.

        Overbearing parent characters can really go either way. In general, though, I agree with you. I feel like with Colleen, though, they just let Elaine Stritch do Elaine Stritch things, and I am here for it.

          Great news was…bad. In the first, like, four episodes, anyway. It just felt like lowest common denominator scop.

          It also did not help that half of Colleen’s lines were just saying something offensive for laughs
