Thanks to Charlie, who slept with and then broke up with Alan's lawyer, who took out her anger on him by promising the ridiculously large amount of money to Judith.

Considering that they're in California not really

Plus over 3k in child support

@@thecommonsenseconservative5576 What do you need 4 thousand dollars a month for to raise a child?!

@@psps2034 cost of living in California

I remember reading that she didn't liked playing her because she was terrible, absolutely no redeeming qualities. I mean, her only likeable trait was her love for Jake but even she started hating him as the seasons went on.

I've heard she hated her character and disagreed with how she treated Alan. I think she was brilliant as Judith, you couldn't help but not like her

She is as hot as any of the gals on this show

She did a fantastic job in the role. But I can see her point as Judith is a horrible person. Perhaps if they had some of the writers who created Peg Bundy or Marcy D’arcy it would’ve worked better?

She was earning $500k per episode. I'd play the devil for half of that.

In the end Charlie's karma came fill circle 🔵 when he slept with Herb's sister.

Given that he hardly ever seemed to be at work, how much did he charge for his osteopathy that he had $4,000 to give her?

A chiropractor who lives in California could've earned at least 5-6 grand easily. Depends where do you live.

@@ArcadeArea $4k leaves him with $1k-$2k which isn't that much to live off of in California tho. They're in Malibu/SoCal area so we can assume the $6k. He also has to pay for child support in one form or another. The fact that he lives with Charlie saves him a lot tho. Doesn't have to pay for housing or home utilities.

What about the child support? Over 2k and she still made him buy expensive shoes and crap,then threatened him with the lawyer he would have to pay for. Looking back, Judith was the biggest leech, Alan came in 2nd because he had to

That was just alimony. Can you imagine the child support? Lol. Charlie screwed him good.

$46.5k and the house 😢

Don't forget child support!

@@DavidSmith-pg1obWas going to say this. He is prob paying like 5K total

You're leaving out the fact that he has to pay his taxes before paying alimony

​@@DavidSmith-pg1obhe was also paying alimony to Candy too

The actress who was Myra was also Bridget later.

I also love the natural chemistry she had with Charlie, sucks she was getting engaged.

@@fortynights1513 Judy Greer is awesome. She’s the voice of Cheryl/Carol Tunt on “Archer”. She also appeared in The Big Bang Theory as Dr. Plimpton.

@@TXnine7nine Or, as Penny called her, “Dr. Slutbunny.” 🤣

A that's all Charlie's fault

@@Mr.BednaR might be why he never kicked alan out. deep, deep, deep down in there somewhere charlie has guilt over screwing Alan's divorce lawyer, and ruining his life.

Since when is alimony a real thing?

for the last 50 years

My salary is 4500 😢

COMPLETELY caught me off guard

get her out Herb 😂

Judy Greer was low key hot 🔥

I would have gone with... "It only seems ten years longer."

Aha good one 😂​@@OKOKOKOKOKOKOK-zn2fy

Plus child support.

*cheque

Women have such high ground now. Not even worth it, unless she’s friend from childhood or high school.

Let alone mid 2000’s pre financial crisis

The fact that it still even exists in this "everyone's equal" world is one of the most fckn ridiculous things in this country. That's why the equality catch phrase garbage is BS.

California

From what I remember I think Charlie slept with Alan's lawyer who then screwed him in the divorce.

@@jayare1338 its fuckin hollywood not real life on tv

13 seasons prove that!

Actually the check was for alimony. Child support is separate. This America marriage/ divorce laws. As Herbert would say "Welcome to Hell"

I took my 23 year-old girlfriend to my 15th high school reunion. Everyone else was married and hanging out by the bar. I took my gf to the secret make out place over the stage and we had sex three times on the infamous red couch. My married friends could hardly look at me through their jealousy and shame. Still no alimony for me. I win. 😘

Ähm, that money is actually payed so the woman can be a mom and raise the child, witch is also the man's child!!! No good for children if moms have to work fulltime and can't be there. But the amount here might be pretty high, yes

@@baumwolke2078There's a difference between alimony and child support. There should be no such thing as alimony.

@@toddgaak422 oh really?? Okey then I agree with you. Sorry, in Switzerland both is called alemony.

@@baumwolke2078 In the US there is Child Support and Spousal Support (also known as Alimony). Child support covers living expenses for the child and the cost of medical and this typically lasts until the child turns 18. Spousal Support is payments directly to the spouse to allow them to maintain the same lifestyle they had when married. Spousal Support in many States lasts basically forever and only stops if the receiving spouse remarries (like in the show) or one of them dies. Men get taken to the cleaners in Divorce Court in the US. I saw a case where the Wife cheated, got pregnant with another mans child, filed for divorce to be with her lover, and still got the house, the car, child support, spousal support, half his retirement, half his investments, and half of his Social Security when he hit 62yo. The Ex-Wife never remarried and the Ex-Husband paid 50% of his income in Spousal Support for 51 years before he died.

​@@baumwolke2078women aren't very good at raising children alone, they usually turn them into criminals or drug addicts.

She was clearly a strong and independent woman

Judith started to hate Alan after he dated Kandy. Because she was younger and prettier and much better with Alan.

Ye cause thats what's funny soy boy

Modern American sitcoms are all about disfunctional relationships.

@@1drink2drink-ty4fjseems like modern American sitcoms tend to either purposely choose to have their characters shown to be unabashedly horrible people (I call it “the Seinfeld effect”, but a more recent/current example would probably be “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia” as well as arguably shows such as “married with children”, the American version of “the office”, etc) or tend to try to be “award winning” types (which I guess could be called the “modern family” effect). Long gone it seems are the type of shows that for the most part are supposed to just make you feel good while watching and at least in the time they were made, have characters that would be considered likable (like for example, “friends” or I suppose the older, if more corny by todays standards “the Brady bunch”)

She was hot, when she wasn't being a beeyatch...

Tight little body.

Ever see Judith in a swimsuit? They were likely hypnotized by the sight. Even Charlie was mesmerized by that.

@@JBM425 It's very true, the actress had a stunning body, but that means little when Judith the character is always in a foul mood and doesn't want to be touched.

​@@palaceofwisdom9448Charlie could've had his way with Judith when she was in her bikini 😂

From the writing to the suble nuances of the acting and line delivery, facial expressions, Berta's deadpan, etc etc... it's truly a work of art.

Reality show called LGBTQ

lol, funny...but I'm still curious ...are there ANY network comedy shows being made these days, worthy of watching? In the UK, the 'Sit-com' died a death a long time ago.@@tsangchim

​@@swanvictor887The Simpsons is on season 34 I think, what does that tell you? They just started a second Frasier series, what does that tell you? 🫢

lol, it tells me that network broadcasters are flogging ideas for too long and the new Frasier is on one of those new, weird cable streamer thingies, isn't it? I was just curious as to what the normal, broadcasters have as their top sit-coms today.@@mentalphilanthropist35

They aren't allowed to be funny anymore. It will offend someone

That’s a reach

Yeah, it's a wild concept when you think about it. Feels like something from a different time.

Jake is an idiot. No school is going to fix that.

I thought he died and that's why he got replaced?

⁠@@introvertedashecknope, went nuts and ended up badmouthing one of the major showrunners, so he got canned. They killed off his character though.

And under appreciated actress

No. Charlie screwed Alan over. Actually Charlie screwed Alan's attorney then dumped her, and that was her revenge.

Cardinal!! Bring..the comfy chair!!!!!

That was back in 2007...! In the 2024 ajust to inflation is about $5.800 !!!! 😮

It's just a number. Anything to keep Alan broke. Otherwise, you don't have the running gag. It could be $!,000, it could be $100,000.

Divorced men are counted as "single" when those stats are complied. Since a man is 7 times more likely to off himself in the year after divorce than any other time in his life, it's an atrocious way of cooking the books. Marriage is literally deadly for many men.

Yeah. Women are watching this and thinking ca ching...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
