Is Cheryl a top 3 worst TV wife in history?

-Constantly taking other people's sides instead of her husband's even when he's right
-Constantly complains about everything he does, any time he has an opinion that isn't 100% conventional she looks at him like's a freak
-Constantly denies Larry sex for the stupidest reasons
-For some reason wants to marry Larry really badly in the flash back and even bribes him by saying she'll let him sleep with another woman for their 10th anniversary (i.e gold digger)
-Acts like Larry owes her something even though he has provided her with such an extravagant lifestyle and yet she doesn't acknowledge this at all
-Always nags Larry to do things that she could easily do herself
-Buys a beach house with Larry's money almost immediately after they separate

I would have blown my brains out if I had to live with this cow of a woman for the rest of my life. Susie is obviously the epitome of a terrible wife, but she was designed to be that way. Cheryl is supposed to be the normal one when she's really just some useless gold digger who puts up with Larry's eccentricities to mooch off him.

What about the episode LD is giving Richard Lewis his kidney and dies. No more than 1 minute after he is dead Cheryl is asking about his will and wanting Jeff to pay full price for the Prius. She is a gold digger and it was obvious.

Yeah because the voice of reason tells you that when you are hungry (The Shrimp Incident), you should first go to a bar and drink and socialise for a while before actually going to a restaurant and eating. That same voice of reason tells you "Return quick I'm really hungry" when the dumb ass wanted to go to a bar first.

Larry David was the voice of reason in the show.

Salesperson: It's people like you that are the problem.
Larry: No, I'm the solution! I'm the solution to the problem!

Cheryl's character makes for great TV, but she really is a terrible wife. Siding with the girl who took Larry's jacket, caring more about money than Larry's "death," refusing to leave town when they believe a terrorist attack is imminent just for a stupid benefit, thinks Larry should make her toast instead of getting Loretta to her job interview on time, forcing him to take in refugees, barring him from shopping his pilot to NBC and later begging him for a role on the Seinfeld reunion aired on NBC, among others. Her transgressions outnumber Larry's by far IMO, but it does provide a lot of good laughs.

Wait until they get a load of me.

Yeah Cheryl David is a pretty lousy wife but no bad tv wife holds a candle to Meghan Gallagher on Millennium. WARNING SPOILERS

She gets kidnapped, he rescues her (killing her kidnapper) then, as soon as they get home, she throws him out of the house because she had to see him be
violent (which he had to be in the course of saving her life)!

I wish Larry is married to Susie.

That would have been much funnier.

Cheryl Hines was incredibly annoying. I think the only reason why Larry chose her to be his TV wife is that she looks good (to most people) but has a very gold-diggerish vibe who pretends to be a nice person. She's not funny either. She was absolutely the right person to play the part, because of the polarizing views. Some people side with her, some people don't, and each side has very strong views about her.

The divorce from Cheryl was hilarious. Larry once again screws things up by dumping a competent lawyer for not being a real Jew. He hires an incompetent Jewish lawyer for some flimsy reason. Then of course he loses his house and much of his wealth.

She is very hard to like.
