Well, I for one am now declaring myself an unashamed Suzie Cotter fan.
Her passion and enthusiasm for comical carrot capers are incredible. If I had half her energy and began wearing a blonde wig at her age I'd be a much sexier person now.
Her treatment at the hands of her "elders and betters" has been frankly shameful at times. And yet the girl has taken all the bitchy remarks and anti-Semitic knockdowns with a good-humoured grace and humilty that I admire. And every time we, her peers, knock her down, she gets back up, which is one of the marks of a performer in embryo.
Yes, she's a little up herself, but few of us weren't at that age (and stage) in our sexual development. Yet few people cut her slack for her age, or made allowances for any unseen personal circumstances in her private life.
So Suzie Cotter, if you're lurking. Good on you. I'm rooting (for) you and, if not here, I hope you find the group of supportive peers that you really do deserve.
But my three posts querying whether this thread is cross-posted and should be in Crit (or at least in an Internet Comedy sub forum) or my disagreeing that a relatively minor Internet fan base deserves comparisons to Friends, hardly ranks with the sustained and, at times, rather cruel treatment James Cotter was getting.
