Somebody shoot Fran Drescher
by Josue Salazar
I have a lot of free time, and i spend most of it watching TV shows. There are great shows like Lost and The OC and shows not as good but bearable like Joey. But then there are also some TV shows which make you wonder, What The Fuck are the producers thinking?.
I’ve noticed that season 2 of a show called “Living with Fran” is just starting, and decided to watch an episode just to see what Fran Drescher was up since “The Nanny“. I remember her as a hot nanny in short skirts, with a terrible yet funny voice working for Mr. Sheffield. Now, while watching an episode of this new show, i noticed that she’s old. She’s 49 years old now, definitely not hot, and the voice is not funny anymore, which contradicts the whole new show since she’s playing the role of a “hot old mother”.
There are a few similarities between the two shows, mostly that she’s got two kids and the father is the same actor who played her boss in The Nanny. Couldn’t they get someone else for the role?. Anyway, the show is a comedy, around her love life. The love life of a 49 years old ugly woman with a voice completely fucking annoying. But whatever. It turns out that she just broke up with her boyfriend, because she figured in the long term he’d dump her for a hot chick (she is so right). As i previously said, she is ugly. The boyfriend in the show, is some young hot blonde guy, i’d say the guy is 25. Why the fuck would he date that bitch?. I mean seriously, WTF!. I know old women go out with younger kids, but fuck, she is fucking fat and ugly and the voice…oh god that voice.
Well, i figured ok she broke up with the guy, so he’ll definitely find someone much, much, much, much better than her. And he does, but at the end of the episode he realizes he’s in love with Fran, and she is obviously into him. And fuck me mate, the show is so stupid that she no longer worries about him dumping her later, and the guy is so in love that he says, “will you marry me?”. People, WHAT THE FUCK!. The chick is so fucking ugly she wouldn’t get a date if she paid $100/hour!.
So yeah, that’s basically what i wanted to get out. I’m so pissed at this stupid show. Don’t ever watch it, and would somebody please shoot her, and the producers who think this is a good show?
Fat, huh?
Josue, complain about the producers putting on the show. But don’t complain about her taking advantage of their offer. Anyone would. She can’t change her voice, and people obviously want to watch that shit, as lots of shows maintain those themes right now. And fat? Umm, she’s probably a size 8. That’s still pretty darn below average. Besides, even if she were actually fat, why would that automatically make her ugly? And if she were ugly, why would that automatically make the show shitty? Everyone deserves to persue happiness, Josue. DON’T WATCH THE SHOW if you have an issue with it.
Yours truly,
Estadounidense gorda. And yeah, I’m a bit offended.
LeAnna, that’s not what i meant.
My point is that she is not sexy anymore. She was before. She was a sex symbol in The Nanny and they’re trying to use her again as a sex symbol now when she’s almost 50 and not sexy at all. And don’t get me wrong again, i know fat women who are sexy, the problem here is that she is old as well.
I don’t have a problem with a show having a fat woman or dude on the leading role, my problem is when they’re used as some kind of sex symbol when they’re clearly not, which is the exact case here.
And just to be clear, in the picture, fat was meaning fat, as in the actual fat in that part of the body. Which even i have, but since she is old it looks bad.
So yea, i’m entitled to my opinion about her, and so are you. Just don’t get me wrong.
Oh and, she is ugly, not because she’s fat, she’s just ugly, she was ugly when she was as skinny as a person could get.
Aside from the e-mailed response I gave, I have to respond to your comments here. What is so bad about someone over the age of 40 being portrayed as sexy? Why does a woman’s identity have to go from sex symbol to matronly grandmother the minute she hits 40? When you’re “old” you’ll probably have NO problem with women being portrayed as sexy when they’re not skinny and young anymore. Not that I’m saying I see her as sexy, because I never have (the voice…ew.) But you can say you don’t like the show and don’t like her in that role without talking about her being fat and old and ugly. When you say she’s fat and old and ugly (when she is small and has half of her life ahead of her), it shows that you have these insane standards for women that you don’t have for men. Men can play whatever the hell role they want at any age or size, really, or at least they have a LOT more options than women do. Just…think about it.
You’re probably right, but i see a bunch of other women in different tv shows who are older than Fran, really obese and i can tell they’re sexy. So i wouldn’t say i have insane standards for women, and about men, no, if i see an old fucker who is fat and is playing the role of a hot/sexy guy, i’d say the same thing or meaner things even.
I really have a problem with this bitch, and i wanted to say really mean things about her. Period.
Hehe. Okay. I’ll accept that. But I still think you could afford to stop using “old” and “fat” as, well, insults. ‘Cause some old, fat people are really awesome people who just happen to be not-young or not-skinny. That’s all I’m saying.
(And what characters could you have even been talking about in your examples of old, fat, sexy people? None come to MY mind, but maybe that’s just because I don’t watch TV.)
She was never sexy, and she’s annoying as fuck. I hate everything she’s in because she’s not funny, and whenever I hear her voice, I want to puke. How the hell did she ever get a career?
My girlfriend loves it. Your dumb. Go do something.
