Why Caroline in the City ?

This is a question you may be asking. And if not, you either already know the answer or don't care. If it's the latter, I'm surprised you're still here. If the former then go along to the stories!

If you are asking it my answers are as follows...

1. It's a great programme.
2. It's got a plausible situation.
3. It's got people you like, and/or can relate to and/or feel you are similar to.
4. Because I want to!########

But perhaps to expand on number 3. I say it's people you like etc. The reason I feel is that each of the characters is a facet of the average person...

• Caroline - the bubbly cheery, but cautious part
• Richard - the melancholic depressed part
• Annie - the footloose and fancy-free person, who is happy with life part
• Del - the ego on legs part
• Charlie - the kid, bizarre and slightly hyper-active part

I am of the opinion that every person has a part of each of the characters in them, mainly one perhaps, but still some of the others. Now with this kind of mix people, myself in the main, find they can relate to the charcters and their situations. Without that ability to relate to, and also (important for a sitcom) like them, the show would just be a mess.

That's what I think, roughly paraphrased. Of course, if this is true who, you may ask, am I? I'm Richard with a bit of Charlie thrown in for good measure.
