First time I have got around to watching this show on Netflix. Kevin is a good kid but such an a-hole to his best friend, Paul. I want to like Kevin more than I actually do.

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Kevin's dad is a fricking a-hole too. Kevin's mom is such a sweetheart and the old man is just a dick.

Kevin knew Paul would grow up to be a mass murderer like Dylan Klebold or some cult figure like Marilyn Manson. All of those goofy kids do, you know.

The character of Kevin Arnold was an a-hole in general.

Ding ding ding.

A lot of bullies have a-hole dads. Even though Kevin was basically a decent, well meaning kid, he was raised in a family that included a take-no-shite dad and full bully of an older brother. Even though Kevin liked Paul, his instinct was to treat him like shite. Paul could see through it and didn't take it personally.

Once Paul came into his own through basketball and new friends, he no longer felt the need to placate Kevin's little shite attitude.

bullshite he is. He's a war vet who works a job he absolutely hates to support his family. If he's overly irritable it's because of that. One of the first episodes - where Kevin goes to work with his dad and sees his dad take the heat for some underling's screwup- demonstrates that he's a good man. His dad is stubborn no doubt but comes through for his kids throughout the series.


He's kind of an ahole with Karen but she pushes his buttons.
