There are five main archetypes presented in this week’s shows: the opinionated leader, the sidekick, the country comes to town, the mother figure, and the sexually “liberated” woman. While no show has all five in the main cast, they each have four with recurring characters usually filling the role of the fifth.

Choose one of the archetypes and discuss which characters you think embody it across the different shows and how they are similar and/or different.
