Instead he broke almost every rule, just like Brett. He got expelled and might have taken the occasional drug here and there, but hey no one is perfect. Brett and my uncle are both smart but never showed it as they covered up their talents. Even though Brett and my uncle have a lot of similar traits they also differ greatly in other areas.

Everybody loves Raymond is a show that was first released during the year of 1996 and ran all the way to 2005. The show is centered around Ray Barone, a talented sports writer who constantly has to put up with his wife, brother, kids, and even parents. Raymond is generally very sarcastic, no matter what the situation, and he does just about everything in his power to not have to deal with his kids. Instead he leaves most of the responsibilities of child care and cleaning to his wife, Debra. Although Everybody Loves Raymond manages to pull off being a wonderful show, it still plays into the stereotypical behavior of Gender roles, which ultimately prevents society from making any real progress.

Brett seems to be one of the worst because she is continually called a drunk by everyone else. The count even points out to her, “You’re always drinking, my dear. Why don’t you just talk?” (65). However, while all of the other characters continue to get drunk each day, Brett realizes she cannot keep living that way. She calls the drinks “poisonous things” (149), and says to Jake, “I can’t just stay tight all the time” (187). She does not want to stop drinking because it will force her to come to terms with her miserable life, but knows she needs to. This awareness is another positive trait in Brett’s character.

While I could waste a lot of time watching Duck Dynasty, when it comes to choosing a show, Family Guy is my top selection.
