Which TV husband or wife would you most NOT want for your spouse.

She’s really not. She just seems that way because Al never has sex with her. But toss her some loving here & there, and she gets tired of it very quickly. In the episode where Al had sex with her more than once (the one with the barbecue & Marcy’s aunt’s ashes), she was crying by the third time.

And IIRC, Peg’s full list of things she won’t do - “I won’t cook, clean, iron, sew, do laundry, or parent.”

She has plenty to shriek about, and it’s no wonder she’s a harpy, with that crew besieging her house day and night.

… but I get the feeling she’s not very good at it.

On topic? Jeannie Nelson.
I would not want a wife who might “accidentally” turn me into an insect one day. Oh, I’m sure she would feel real bad if I was squashed by a family friend, but that wouldn’t help me much.
(Samantha Stevens also has that potential, but she is much smarter and more mature than Jeannie, and so if she killed me by magic it would be deliberate.)

Frank Burns is quite a prick and I don’t think he’s been mentioned (sorry if I miss it), so I nominate him.

Whiny, sniveling, wimpy, crap doctor douche. No thanks.

Oh, now I’m supposed to read the whole thread? I refuse to live by your rules, maaaaan!

Fran Fine- killer legs but oh that voice!

Second choice- June Cleaver for letting all the neighborhood kids play with The Beaver.

Oh! and that asshole from My Wife and Kids.

…pretty much all husbands on sticoms suck.

Well, except for Tim THE TOOLMAN Taylor.

Being smarter and more mature means she’ll use magic to replace you with someone taller and younger.

Yeah, she was a ditz, but I wouldn’t want to be married to Ricky. He constantly quashed his wife’s hopes of being in show biz, tried to control every penny she spent, treated her like a child, and wasn’t above beating her.

Only partially mentioned in one of the posts way up-thread, but definitely both of the principal parties from Everybody (except me) Loves Raymond.

I for one most certainly no loved anything about that show – quite the contrary, the few times I got stuck watching parts of it, I could barely contain my dinner. If just watching the show is that nauseating, how must it be to actually live like that?

Eliot Stabler from L&O:SVU.

What a controlling, quick tempered, violent asshole.

This. I’d kill that shrill self-absorbed harpy in a minutes.

and 30.

and, I think, 24.

I’ll see your Livia Soprano and raise you Livia Drusilla!

Psst - post 60. :smiley:

Edith Bunker … hated her with a seething passion.

:smack:

..

Nicolette Grant Henrickson- Chlove Sevigny’s character on Big Love- was pretty much a great argument against polygamy. Crazy, bitchy, selfish, lying, hypocritical, thieving, self-exonerating, and Utah’s leading manufacturor of surplus drama.

Ross from friends would drive me up the wall.

Either of the Steptoes (old Brit sitcom)
Another vote for Arhie Bunker
