He is a literal cuckold, and this week's episode was called “Genetically Inferior Beta Males” http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/gretchen-plays-mom-rest-gang-very-funnyyoure-worst-244471

I disagree. He banged some girl in his kitchen probably years before Kevin or any of the other characters banged anyone. Kevin was an extreme beta. The whole duration of the series was basically Kevin getting upset or pissed off at incredibly stupid things. Paul was pretty thinned skinned, but I say Kevin was much worse.

Not disagreeing, but I think Ross is more deserving of that title.
But neither of them could even hope to out-beta Ray Barone.

The dude from 500 days of summer.

Kelley should have shifted to Sierra (she's hotter and has a huge rack, a little chubby) when Emily clearly wasn't receptive. Play those two against each other.
I forsee Kelly fucking Sierra.
At the resort, Kyle the new deckhand, he was moving in on Sierra. Kelly was too busy oiling Emily to get involved. Kyle later asked Sierra to go fishing, she said yes, but the next thing you know she's inviting the whole crew to go also.
Kyle is gonna get cucked. In the preview you saw Kelly yelling at Sierra about playing with kyle. You know where that lead in a cramped area like they live in. I think he can pull that off, but he should take note of last season. The Bosun and stew relationship between Eddie and Rocky was a disaster.
Rocky was a little meaty, and I bet a great fuck. Just batshit crazy.
Aloha!
Who is beta?
Every single male character in Big Bang Threory.
All main guy characters in how I met your mother except - Barnie (although he is gay in real life)
2 main characters in Scrubs - Black guy and a white guy. The main doctor is alpha though.
Out of 3 guys in friends only Joey is not beta. "How you doing?"
Dr. House is the only alpha in the series - but a serious one.
Majority is beta, kind of the same as in real life...

"Green Wing" was my favorite comedy from the early 2000's and had one of the biggest betas of all time, Martin Dear:
His character is such a beta that when I did a google image search for the face of the character, the only one I found was that one. ^
There were tons of pictures of the faces of other characters in the search results for Martin, the disparity between his charisma and theirs on the show being what it is.
Oh yeah, there was also this picture:
Green Wing was a red pill show set in a hospital where no one spent any time with patients, and all their energy was spent either trying to sleep with other characters, one-up them, or destroy them emotionally.
Another signature of the show was that all the characters had their ids totally unleashed, and said and did exactly what they felt, and it was basically a Darwinian free for all, and Martin was the prey.
Paradoxically, the show was created by a woman, though who hates betas more than they do?
Here is Martin being anxious about exams:
Getting test results:
Best line in the clip: another character says Martin makes him sick because of "the aroma of women who care mingled with Martin's fear."
Mocked and dominated by HR woman:

Off topic, but someone mentioned The Wonder Years supporting character.
I've been watching TWY on Netflix lately, and damned if it isn't quality television. Each episode has a message / moral and it's a great show for young kids to watch. The father is an asshole, but he's not portrayed as a villain. Nor is he an incompetent buffoon like all other TV dads. There's an episode where Kevin and the family are constantly intimated by him because he comes home from work in a shit mood. Kevin goes with him to work the next day and learns how hard and stressful it is to work for a living and empathizes with his dad. You'd never find that in a modern TV show. No way, no how.
The mom is portrayed as not so smart but supportive and fulfills her motherly duties, not as an empowered harpy (think Malcom in the Middle).

"The Wonder Years" is, without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite shows. Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious. It may sound cliche to say, but they really don't make 'em like they used to. Great show!

My all time favorite TV show. The best, period.

Jack Arnold an asshole? Not even close. He was part of the first wave of the true "corporatization" of America that grinds you up and spits you out. He also experienced firsthand the start of the downfall of American society (via Karen, the daughter). Yeah, obviously he was pissed off a lot - the times he lived in were killing him. But he was a good guy.
If you watch the last season of the show, you see him change when he leaves corporate America.

^ Couldn't have said it better myself. I imagine a lot of us RVF'ers would become much more disillusioned than Jack if God forbid Trump doesn't win this thing and we see the fall of America within our lifetime. I agree with YossariansRight, it's dismissive to write off Jack as an "asshole".
Ok abrasive, not an asshole. I meant that in an alpha asshole sort of way. In other words, cool.
