Hey, Dan Conner from Roseanne is like the best fictional husband of all time. But you have an excellent point. Also the idea that a fat woman just can’t resist cake, because of course. I think pretty much most people like cake.

I’m sorry you’re not happy. I get nothing, too, but I figure it’s because I’m a horrible person or something, because I know a LOT of big women with partners.

At least they’re getting love. A lot of us in the real world get nothing. In the real world, most of the guys think they deserve the Playboy model.

Have you seen Spy? Melissa McCarthy ends up with Jason Statham! (And keeps getting hit on by Peter Serafinowicz) It is awesome and amazing and I love it and there is not one Porky Pig-lookalike motherfucker in sight.

No, he wasn’t a big guy.

Fucking goddamn motherfucker. Could a fat woman FOR ONCE find love with a not-fat guy? Schlubs like Jim Belushi and Kevin James get hot (per society) thin wives, but Roseanne and Melissa McCarthy (at least in Mike and Molly) have big burly dudes. (Was MM’s love interest in Gilmore Girls fat? I never watched it.)…

True...but there’s progress at least in that she is legit fat and not just “TV fat.” And they gave her a love interest. And it’s possible I smiled at the weighing ones self only after removing earrings thing, which I have totally done. I just hope her whole storyline isn’t fat and that the love story is done well and…

And the eternal dichotomy between eating whole sheet cakes and dieting.

Oh, no. You see, network television has rich history of bare butts going all the way back to a 1972 episode of M*A*S*H, most famously NYPD Blue.

... he did not get “all rapey.” They were both into it and when she said stop he did, then proceeded to sulk and leave. Just because you didn’t like his character doesn’t mean you should go throwing around the word rape, or “rapey.”

THANK YOU. I only recently watched Gilmore Girls because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. It was... just okay. But Emily was delightful.

Ohhhhh my. I haven't seen that little bad boy vermicelli noodle since Gilmore Girls; THAT BEARD. 😍😍 HOT!

Ugh, yes, exactly that. Its trope older than dirt, and the dirt is exactly where it belongs.

dude... my KINGDOM for one, just ONE show featuring a fat character whose storyline isn’t, “SHE IS FAT!”

This looks like it’s in the same vein as ‘Parenthood’ and I am therefore SUPER excited about it. Man I miss Parenthood.

Yeah, but Mandy Moore is in it and she’s incredibly charming. I was going to ignore that show otherwise.

I know this looks super cheesy, and maybe it's just because I'm getting my period and I loved the guy from American Crime Story, but....I kinda wanna see this and secretly weep.

i was waiting for a plane crash or polar bear or a condescending nickname generator with blond hair and i saw none so

“Mandy Moore” it’s her time now! She just needed to get free from that terrible husband of hers. Thank goodness they’re divorced so that she can rebuild her life now.

I suspect you’re right, but there is also a chance that he was also an abused kid at the time, perpetuating what he knew. That’s just it, she didn’t ask, or seem to care.
