* The MoralDissonance and Jerkassery with the main cast can be pretty unfunny to me. It really bothers me that Evelyn knew that she accidentally gave Charlie one of her drugs instead of some pain reliever and din't bother to see if she could stop him from embarrassing his Judge Girlfriend and making her break up with him. Don't get me started on Judith and Kandi...

** Very much TruthInTelevision, speaking as the American-born son of two immigrants from Jamaica. The entire previous generation of both sides of my family spent their formative years in their homeland, so their accents are all varying degrees of noticeable. Whereas I can switch between my regular American accent and a Jamaican patois.

They may have picked up a decent American accent, but you can hear their Jamaican accent peek through even with that. Whereas I can switch between my regular American accent and a Jamaican patois.patois, and you'd never know I was Jamaican if you heard the American.

**** Real life stalkers and abusers often escalate to murder. Besides, it’s a sitcom; it doesn’t have to make sense.

Answering the question about Alan's looks.
Added DiffLines:
** He actually ''does'' try to change his style in Season 1 episode, ''Alan Harper, Frontier Chiropractor''. That's even the whole focus of the episode, and Alan is, at first, completely unwilling to change (due to it not being "who he really is", and "Not wanting to take off his 'married guy' uniform" so to speak), and he and Charlie have a heart-to-heart about it, and Alan even gets the bar girl interested him when he does change his look, and compliments from Rose and Jake. The episode basically leaves off on two things, that Alan would continue to try to change...and that he still can't make himself look more naturally attractive, or as Charlie puts it "You bought a sports jacket not a magic lamp". To sum it up as best I can see it, Alan tried to change early on (and even without that, had some decent relationships in other episodes), but the writers left it at that, as just [[StatusQuoIsGod a one-off attempt]]. Later on, when Alan becomes more of Jerkass, he tries some...problematic attempts to fix his thinning hair in ''Captain Terry's Spray On Hair'', though doesn't actually try anything like you suggested, so my best guess in-universe is Alan basically refuses to change because he's selfish. Put another way, I imagine something like "If the world/everbody else doesn't like me the way I am, then the world/everybody else needs to change, not me!"

** There's also the small fact that LA is ridiculously expensive to live in. In one episode Evelyn took him house hunting and one of the only apartments in his price range was a dumpy basement apartment under a flight path for LAX.

*How did Jennifer from season 9’s “Not In My Mouth!” not figure out that Jake was lying about his age? He looks and behaves like a typical teenager, yet she fell for the ruse and had sex with him. It’s a fictional sitcom, but it sort of glorifies statutory rape.
