Sophie is God awful, unfunny and poison to this show
I love Kat and Beth and think they're bringing a lot of heart to their characters. I really, really like Max and Caroline and want them to achieve their dreams. I also love Earl and his relationship with them. Even Olof is ok, if not a favorite of mine.
What brings out my hate is Jennifer Coolidge's character and her hideous acting. I hate her stilted, braying like a spastic goat, idiotic character and performance. All aspects of her are GOD AWFUL with NO redeeming qualities. She doesn't come across as some one with an accent. Her screeching, shouting, braying, staccato line delivery is like someone suffering brain damage from a bad drug trip. And the character's arrogance, presumptuous, abusive , self deluded total lack of self awareness just makes her more repulsive. The fact that the show runners shove fake cheers onto the laugh track when she is vomited onto the screen reeks of their desperate denial of admitting what a failure she is. No, your recorded cheers do NOT speak for me or convince me she's less than terrible. I don't buy for a second she's a break out character. I am certain that for every one person who likes her, I know such people exist, there are 100 people who have good taste and are sick of her pollution in what otherwise would be a better show. That's why I dvr it. Whenever her waddling, bleating toxic presence oozes onto the set, I fast forward till the repulsive manatee has left the scene.
