The Big C is an American comedy-drama series that aired on Showtime.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney) is a middle-aged woman like many others; she teaches English in a local high school, is a neat freak and has a peculiar family; a childish husband, an asshole of a son and an environmentalist to the pain brother.But one day, her doctor gives her shattering news; she has terminal melanoma, and a year to live. He tells her that she could do chemo, but she refuses.That ends up being the catalyst for Cathy to break out of her shell and finally live her life to the fullest, including disciplining her son and befriending obese student Andrea.But she doesn't tell anybody of her cancer…Has no connections whatsoever to The Big O.

Aborted Arc: The Sean-Andrea romance. It looked like at the end of Season 3, Episode 3 that they realized they had feelings for each other. Since then, it hasn't been brought up.

A Date with Rosie Palms: Andrea walks in on Paul having one of these. Cathy also has one in the bathtub—as she's listening to Lee's voice guiding her through breathing exercises.

Dead Guy Junior: Rebecca finds out she's having a girl, and decides to call her Cathy. Since the father's Cathy's brother Sean, she will have the exact name and surname as our leading character.

Birth-Death Juxtaposition

comment
Birth/Death Juxtaposition: Rebecca finds out she's pregnant with Sean's baby at the end of season 1, and since every season of this show is an actual season (roughly three months) she will most probably give birth in season 4 or 5, which are most likely going to be the final seasons. Ultimately subverted when Rebecca suffers a late-term miscarriage.

Closer to Earth: Cathy used to be, but she doesn't want to be anymore. Literally, Sean.
