I do wish that the show gave Elizabeth more to do as a character.
Oh, yes. One of the things I miss about season one is that it more than any other season showed us Elizabeth at her job, doing her thing. Even season two was kind of nice, because, yeah, we didn't see much of her, but the reason they gave for her being gone so much was that her business was doing so well. It was about her and her success, and I think it was a pretty decent character bit, considering it was thought up to deal with Tiffani's pregnancy. But from season three on, there's been much less of that.
To be fair, WC has a large cast, and I know that Eastin has his hands full trying to give each character their due. It may not be a coincidence that season three, which had less independent Elizabeth, was also the season that began to pay significant attention to other secondary characters (Diana, Jones, Mozzie).
But I really wish they could give us a few scenes of Elizabeth at work. Or hanging out with friends. Something to show that she has a life outside of Peter.
So I really appreciate that we see "manly man" Peter cooking and cleaning off the table and ironing his own shirts.
Yes, again. Pretty much everyone knows how much I love how WC does gender, but the way that Peter's masculinity is in no way compromised by helping out around the house and respecting his wife (and the other women in his life).
