Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the benefits to television is that you're with these characters for years, you know them so well.
Dysfunctional families have sired a number of pretty good actors.
If you're doing television, you get to be a character for a long time, and the cast around you becomes like family. You get attached to playing that one character, and it's hard leaving them behind.
There are great characters on television.
There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you're on a TV show.
Being a fan of someone's show and the way they still hold a family together doesn't mean I am OK with all they say.
With family dramas, it's hard to keep those stories alive.
The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.
I don't understand that, because I think that what people like most about the show is that they recognize themselves in the characters and their problems, so the more believable the family is, the more we can draw the audience in.
I have always liked family-type dramas; I just think the dynamics in families make for some really interesting characters.
