Was searching on “Longmire” (we’re balls deep into season 4 right now after just hearing about it 2 weeks ago) and this thread came up.
But while I’m here: I could have wrote the post below. I despise the whiny cuck adult male in nearly everything on TV for probably the last 30 years. Even Seinfeld as funny as it was was chock full of them, but at least they knew it. What can I say… I’m a caveman.

Then I noticed all of the "husbands" on sitcoms were just different versions of this same insecure creep. (Talking to you, Jim Belushi. Your brother would be ashamed of you.)
I rarely watch tv anymore. Nothing on the networks to speak of. Just some racing and a few movies and documentaries. (and Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)
So, to sum up, Paul Reiser. Professional milquetoast.
