[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439164, member: 5079"] Carla started out in the first season as a more nuanced character, a harried single mom summed up by Coach: "Carla's been in a lousy mood for the last two, three years." There was even an indication that Diane and Carla might have become friendly. And then in the second season, Carla was basically turned into an ogre. Nothing about the character made any sense, just a collection of horrible traits. She might have been a female Louie DePalma, but for some reason the writers seemed to think Carla was likeable. While Louie was hated but tolerated, Carla was well liked by everyone in the bar -- despite being awful to everyone. It didn't help that Rhea Pearlman played the character as loudly as possible, she really didn't even try to make sense of the contradictory nature of the character the way Shelley Long tried to reconcile Diane's nature.
