Well, my sympathy for Sue is due to my realization why I am entertained by her antics rather than be pissed off by them as I would in others: Because she doesn't make anyone else look bad by association, doesn't claim her opinions are anything but the way she thinks the world should be.
Whereas if Glenn Beck decided to launch a pro-littering campaign because it's biblically correct and you should leave a church that doesn't follow his views of what is biblical, I would offer my sympathies to all Christians.
And the fact that she's fictional means you can offer yourself the comforting lie that no one is really that bad in the real world.
The punchiest show is FlashForward, which alternated between moments that purely worked and rang as true and moments that made you wonder how anyone could ever think the implemented plans would ever work. Between characters that you love and want to see more of and characters that were too stupid to live and should at least be fired. The writers had this idea for a huge overreaching arc, had it all planned out five seasons in advance, and because they didn't bother ensuring that people would want to tune in for the first season to see all the buildup it got axed.
*sigh* I would've watched an entire series about Keiko, but she only got four episodes. She was so awesome.
Also Desperate Housewives, which . . . I actually forget why I ever started watching, but it's more entertaining if you imagine all the chaos and high crime rates and horrible examples of humanity are due to Wisteria Lane being located on a Hellmouth.
