Why the obsession over her?

I don't understand what's so appealing about her. Maybe it's just me, but she doesn't seem to branch out at all with her roles and she seems incredibly boring in the interviews I've seen with her. She was funny in "Married with Children" but to be honest, it's not like that role takes a whole lot of talent. Everyone just seems so obsessed with her but I don't get it! I actually read an article that said she's had the most success of the "Married..with Children" cast and I'm sorry but that couldn't be further from the truth. Katey Sagal has done a lot of great work, "8 Simple Rules" and "Sons of Anarchy" to name a few, and recently got a Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame. Ed O'Neill is on "Modern Family" which is a really popular show. Christina's done two crappy sitcoms that didn't last more than 1 or 2 seasons and a bunch of silly rom-coms.

Is there any show or movie where she actually shows some talent that I'm missing? Enlighten me.

Maybe if you weren't female you'd see the appeal.

No, I am male and I don't see it either.

When was the last time you had an eye exam?

Yep, male here too, and no appeal to her at all. Turned me off on Married with Children and anything else.

I am a gore watching freak!!!

If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.
