it just about works for 'sex and the city' and maybe 'frasier'. but not 'entourage'.

I still prefer this typology:

From The Glossary of Literary Terms:

"The Old Comedy of the Greeks had three stock characters whose interactions constituted the standard plot: the alazon, or imposter and self-deceiving braggart, the eiron, or self-derogatory and understating character, whose contest with the alazon is central to the comic plot; and the bomolochos, or buffoon, whose antics add an extra comic element....Northrop Frye has revived these old terms [and] added a fourth, the agroikos -- the rustic or easily deceived character."

Obviously: Alazon = Blanche; Eiron = Dorothy; Bomolochos = Sophia; Agroikos = Rose

haha you don't agree on any one point!!!

part of what's good about 'entourage' is that the characters develop, as the golden girls didn't. so e maybe *starts* as the innocent, and vince *seems* to be tougher than he actually is.
