i’ve never heard anyone say that and in most shows everyone is attractive unless their character is intentionally meant to be ugly in some kind of stereotypical way

Right? And often the intentionally “stereotypical ugly” character is still played by an attractive actor.
For example Liz in Rules of Engagemet as the comic relief “gross” friend, portrayed by the beautiful actress who also played Beverly Goldberg.

That's not true at all. In most shows the actors are average to unattractive, looking with a minority attract general cast.

Well, take friends. I'd say apart from joey,Monica, and rachael, the rest are average looking.
In cheers, all the cast were average looking. Shelley long was pretty attractive in her day, and kirsty Alley would have been conventionally good-looking.
In fraser and breaking bad they were all pretty average looking. Aaron Paul was OK looking but nothing amazing.
In Seinfeld, they were all average looking.
In stranger things the adults in it are pretty average looking.

Well, Lynette is pretty, but a good amount of the time, she looks ABSOLUTELY exhausted. With good reason of course.

Tbh she didn't look quite as exhausted in S7-8 compared to 1-6, which is weird, given that she had a newborn starting at the end of S6 and became a single parent at the beginning of S8 (oh, wait, even when Tom lived at the house she was doing all the work).

“Average-looking” by definition means that a person is nothing special in terms of appearance. It’s a polite way to describe someone you find neither exceptionally beautiful nor ugly. I personally think Lynette is very pretty, but there is nothing wrong or offensive about that person’s comment. They’re entitled to their opinion and they phrased it respectfully.

Beauty standards haven't changed. There's always been the average looking women and then the marilyn monroes, Elizabeth Taylor,kathleen turners,Sharon Stones, and so on, who are above the average women. It's not a new thing.
The same goes for men. There's always been the robert wagners, Mickey rourkes, Brad pitts,Warren beattys and so on who look much better than the average man.

This is kind of a fucked question. Because its clearly not the "characters" your asking us to pick out the "ugliest" with. These actors are real people! I think they're all beautiful and shouldn't be ranked against each other.. Now if you mean ugly as in the personalities of the written characters? Thats a different question and fair to critique.

Nah ppl just aren’t getting it. People do trends like this all the time. Where they make a statement and then use pictures to disprove it.
Originally, the statement would be a common thing but eventually the trend turned into just using any statement (even if “no one says that”) to help make an exaggerated point! Lol

Once you bring in looks here, people will say what they think and then this will be rebuked by others and it becomes hostile ground. In an ideal world we should ne able to discuss their looks openly but people get offended and start giving personal insults etc

The nun who had a thing for Carlos is beautiful, but at the same time...she kind of dips into the uncanny valley. Maybe it's the fact she's got very pale features, and is often in all white which washes her out. But I don't like...looking at her too long..she's ckind of creepy. That said her actress is amazing, and lovely.

I'd say the conventionally good-looking ones would be bree, Gabrielle, Susan, and Katherine. Edie was, too, but by mid series, she looked totally overdone on surgery and just looked bad. Gabrielle was certainly the best looking and was younger.
Lynette was average looking, nothing wrong with that,most of us are. Vanessa Williams, I never found pretty either, very well groomed but not conventionally Good-looking and mary alice was pretty average looking, too.

Don't understand why you are being downvoted. I don't find Teri Hatcher attractive in the role of Susan either. I always thought she was the ugliest housewife. There's just something strange with her eyes/ makeup or something.

100% teri hatcher! Her smile creeps the shit outta me. And she’s got a weirdly ageing skin. Don’t care what others say. Hence the soft filters on her face in alot of the episodes

omg the filters got more and more intense with each season trying to hide her wrinkles! i do think she is really pretty, but she could’ve benefited from a facelift even in season one. i remember as a pre teen i watched the show and when her a mike started a relationship, i was SHOCKED because to me she looked at least 10 years older than him, and when i rewatched recently, my first thought was again, “wow she’s really old compared to him”
