Sold-Y Locks. Season 8 Episode 18 (SPOILERS)

True. But I don't think Carrie did love her short hairdo. It seemed to me that she tried so hard to like it, that is why she was so over the top loudly praising it. Women do that, especially when we find out we made a huuuge mistake with (irreversible) change of our looks. :)
Based on her behaviour, I would say she hated the short hair but she really tried to stay positive about it and tried to like it. Doug on the other hand, was blunt as always and just couldn't even try to like it or to help her to be more positive about it. He is just too selfish. Also, he was the one who convinced her to do that-for money he wanted. So, yes, I agree, that was funny episode, but Doug was horrible person in it, and I felt bad for Carrie.

This was a woman so vain she liked to wear $1800 designer dresses (though she returned them within the grace period) and wore so much makeup that she looked like she was going to the opera (or was in the opera). No way in the world she thought a butchered haircut that made her look like a weird boy, was attractive. Doug paid her a huge compliment by saying she resembled the all-time hits leader, Pete Rose.

In "Bun Dummy" she wore that ass-ugly bun just to be stubborn and piss off Doug. When she saw the old librarian lady with the bun, she realized how ugly it really was and succumbed to Doug's (and Deacon's and Holly's) wishes.

That being said, she looked hot in the wig and Doug should have encouraged her to buy a variety of them so she could change her look frequently. This would allow her to sell her hair over and over again and enable Doug to buy his pizza oven.

This is a sit-com.

If people behaved in the sit-com as they do (or should) behave in real life, then we would have no sit-com.

Or, we would have a very un-funny sit-com.

This translates to having a very unsuccessful sit-com and, thus, no sit-com at all (after it gets cancelled due to poor ratings, etc.).

When watching sit-coms, we all need to realize that "suspension of disbelief" is a primary factor that allows us to enjoy the humor and the comedy.

If people behaved in sit-coms the way that they behave in real life, there would be no genre whatsoever entitled "sit-com".

Indeed.

No one wants to watch the boring minutiae of people navigating through everyday boring routines (paying bills, brushing your teeth, answering the door bell, watching a TV show, reading your mail, etc., etc., etc.).

Yes?

We know it's a sitcom, but discussions about the consistency of the characters' behaviour is still valid. Otherwise we have no discussion boards.




No Guru, No Method, No Teacher.

Carrie did look hot in the wig. I would have taken her back to the room and banged the hell outta her!
