User blog comment:CF12/Owen - Why do some of you guys hate him?/@comment-1756703-20100617131107

I don't hate him. He's optimistic and happy-go-lucky, which I usually find appealing. However, I do agree that much of his humor is gross and childish, particularly the fart jokes. I honestly think that the only reason he's so prominent in the series is because the writers believe he appeals to younger (as in kids 11 years old or younger) audiences.

Ya know, I'd like him more if they focused less on the fart jokes and more on his interactions with Izzy. I have to admit, I love his scenes with Izzy!
