Anyone else can't stand Carol Kane on this show?


Her crazy catlady shtick is horribly grating and one-note.

I kind of like her. I am sick of the overuse of pop phrases like Handcrafted and Not So Much.

Love Carol Kane and I don't think she's ever been funnier. Pete Riegert too.

It's amazing that I love the show and don't really like Titus or Carol Kane's character.

I love Carol Cane character.

She is decent enough. Not to much.

No, she's great. Lillian is such a walking ball of contradictions.

This exchange for me is the essential one:
LILLIAN: I will not bury another beautiful black man. You know my dear husband Roland was killed in our very own apartment.
TITUS: Yes, I’ve heard this story before.
LILLIAN: He got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and on his way back to bed, he was shot in the face.
TITUS: By you, Lillian.
LILLIAN: Well, it was dark out, and a black guy was trying to get in bed with me. It was the ’70s!

Back in the '70s, Lillian was in an interracial marriage, so she's clearly progressive in a lot of ways. And yet, she's also got this prejudicial attitude that makes her blast her husband in the face (partly) because of his race.

This paradoxical stuff makes me laugh.
