[quote=Anonymous]A character arc I'm seeing in Midge is that she is constantly biting the hand that feeds her.  She loved Joel but then she hated him (and loved him a little) but making fun of him is what started her career in comedy.  Susie was trying to help her by giving her advice that had worked for her and Midge completely trashed her in a comedy routine, even though she was supposed to be auditioning with a whole different routine.  Then, misunderstanding the situation, she also completely blew up her friend and benefactor Shy Baldwin in another routine because she felt insecure and afraid and just wanted to kill at comedy.

I can see this could be a problem for comedians - what areas are too sacred to make fun of in your life?  Where is the line and will she ever find it?  Is she going to blow up Lenny Bruce who she's falling in love with and is also trying to help her?  Susie?  Season after season this happens to her and maybe she was trying to get away from it by not being an opening act and not owing anyone anything.  But now she will owe Lenny alot for teaching her this lesson, is she going to kill <i>him</i> with her comedy too?[/quote]
