That's an interesting view on Michael. I hadn't considered that before. I tend to see Michael as basically good, because he does try to do right by his son most of the time (even if, very often, his idea of what's right is... skewed, to say the least).

The other thing about Michael is that he's really pretty screwed up, too. Only in a family like the Bluths could he possibly be seen as the "normal" one.

Btw, I hope you feel better soon!
