Libertine: On the Prowl

Resemblance to a TV Character

12:45, 2007-Dec-4 .. Posted in daily life .. Link
While visiting a lover recently, she told me she'd seen a TV show where the main character reminded her of me. It was the character of Charlie on Two and a Half Men.

I watched an episode with her and I could see the resemblance. Charlie is a single, middle aged libertine who had taken in his divorced, more straightlaced brother and his nephew. Much of the show deals with him and his brother in conflict over his penchant for casual sex, with quite a bit of the issues being all too familiar to my own life.

Of course, it's not an exact resemblance. Though I'm of a similar age and am also dark haired, I don't have Charlie's money, I don't have that Miami Vice look going on, I'm more intellectual than he is, I don't drink, nor do I have a taste for airheaded women. Nor did my mother make the wicked witch of the west look like Mother Teresa as his mother does -- which is given as the reason Charlie is the way he is, as if he couldn't be that way naturally.

The resemblance is more one of kind than quality. Charlie's a caricature; a stereotype, and I'm the real thing.

Nevertheless, I got a kick out of the show and will probably watch it again.

Have any of you reminded others of any TV characters and, if so, which ones?
