Something I noticed about other TV shows....

Ok why is that on other TV shows you have just 1 boy and maybe like 2-3 girls in the group and out of that group 1 of them have to be stupid.

For example:

Moesha- Hakeem, Moesha, Niecy, and Kim......Kim was the "dumb" one.
That's So Raven- Chelsea, Raven, and Eddie.....Chelsea was the "dumb"
One on One- Brianna, Arnez, and Sypress(whatever her name was)....I think "Arnez was supposed to be the "not so bright" one

I'm trying to think of some more shows with just 3 groups of friends...the ones I can think of with groups of people and 1 stupid person in the group

Martin- Cole was the stupid one
Friends- Pheobe she was pretty dumb at times
The Golden Girls- Rose was clueless, she was smart when she wanted to be
Living Single- Sinclair James was pretty clueless and dumb at times

I think you're being nice about Arnaz to say "not so bright".

Angel: the Series- Gunn (season 2-4) was street-smart, but not what you'd call a big thinker (though he was moreso the muscle). Harmony (season 5) was dumb as a box of rocks disguised as an even bigger rock.

Blossom (remember that)- Joey was a serious dummy.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy- Ed was a supreme doofuss!

There is a method to this madness. Whenever you have a trio, you need a calm, centered one (ego), a technical, sort-of-stoic one (superego), and a tough, if not very bright one (id).

I think you right about that statement. I was watching Kenan & Kel and I forgot how dumb Kel was. He play a dumb character really well and I agree Steve and Bullethead play dumb characters great to.

Something else I noticed is that usually in a show with a predominately black cast, the one white character in the group is usually also the dumb friend.

Not calling racism or anything, just an observation.

even if that were true, it's not racism...

i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners
