Reply to Is there an expression for liking the the experience of watching a character regardless if they are likeable? by Holmbone
No, when I like the character, I like the character. That doesn't mean I think they are a nice person. I like to watch them, they are fun. The best characters are usually not good people. It's fiction. I wouldn't be friends with people like that but I have a good time watching them on TV.
A character I like is complex, feels real, has interesting dynamics with other characters, and is driving the plot.

Reply to It truly is super annoying how prevalent sexism is in nearly all of my favorite comedies from my upbringing. by [deleted]
Yeah, the majority of sitcoms were basically unwatchable until five or ten years ago. Not only sexist, all kinds of issues, just to get a cheap joke.
Good thing they're still making TV today and it keeps on evolving, right?

Every single character on this show is a terrible person - and it's great!
