Yep, the fat, dumb oaf always gets the hot and funny woman. Proves that most network writers are men.

I think one tv critic labeled it "male-pattern delusion."

Which one was Mikhail?

Mikhail played Aleksandr "the Russian" Petrovsky on Sex & the City's final season.

I didn't watch Sex in the City, but I sure as sh*t know who Mikhail Baryshnikov is! (A little part of me dies realizing that other people don't.)



PP, you are missing out. Search for his dances on Youtube.

Another one is that there were way more single dads portrayed on TV than exist in reality. (Full House, Two and a Half Men, Castle, Andy Griffith, My Three Sons, Family Affair, Who's the Boss, Different Strokes, Blossom, The Nanny, Too Close for Comfort, Punky Brewster)

I think Alice and One Day at a Time were total outliers.

Family Affair! What a blast from the past. If we're going that far back, don't forget Courtship of Eddie's Father. People let me tell you 'bout my best friend . . .

Oh okay. I knew him as Aleksandr, I thought we were using character names and was confused when the PP said fat dumb oaf.

I think this was intentional though right? Buffy was admittedly using Spike, he loved her and even though she cared about him she never really returned his feelings...Also their whole thing was pretty messed up, but I still love him over Angel in the end!!

In the comics Joss Wheldon has then as the happy couple at the end of season 10.

That was in reference to King of Queens.

Olivia and Fitz is as realistic as it is popular. Fitz is a blue blooded, handsome, smart, successful guy. Olivia is a drop dead gorgeous, equally smart, seductive powerful woman. She is powerful in her own right, yet submissive and seductive in her relationship with him. I can totally see how or why these two would be into each other.

Ugh. I hate Fitz. Can't figure out for the life of me what she sees in him. He's SO WEAK! No matter what is going on in her personal life, she can put her game face on and get it done. Fitz just whines, "I want Olivia. Waaaaaaaa! I'd give up the presidency for you, Olivia! Wah, wah, wah!"

Where the hell is his sense of duty???

NP here who feels much better about skipping the comics now.

I found Charlotte and Harry somewhat believable because it was on the heels of her WASPy divorce from the one that looked good on paper and Harry was loaded and Jewish men are good to their wives.

I loved loved Char's first storyline. That sometimes things can be perfect on paper but still broken.

However, I did not believe for a second that such a beautiful, sophisticated, marriage minded woman such as Charlotte can be so miserably single in her late thirties. She'd have found a husband in college.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Misha, but I didn't see him with Carrie.

Agreed. I hated that storyline. But I thought that Carrie ans Aidan were even more unrealistic. Totally not each other's type.

What was the sitcom with Jim Belushi and the blond actress....I think it was Courtney Thorne Smith? She was way too hot for him.
