Poll: Which TV couple most resembles you and your SO?

[XNASA]

Poll question: Poll: Which TV couple most resembles you and your SO?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Elaine and Jerry.

Not that they're a couple. Not that I'm that funny, but I am married to Elaine, and I do have dumb hair.

[XNASA]

2. That is so gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[terrya]

3. Will and Grace.

Doug is Will, I'm Grace.

[XNASA]

7. Leave it to you....

4 out of 9 choices are same sex partners.....and you pick Will and Grace.....


Is there no pleasing you??????????? ;-)

:crazy:

[terrya]

11. Well, I thought of Brian and Justin on "Queer as Folk"...

but that's asinine. :-)

[Snow]

16. Are Beany & Cecil a same-sex couple? Hmmmm.

And what sort of relationshiip was that? Beany always seemed like far the brighter of the two, but he kept having to be rescued by Cecil ("I'm comin', Beany-boy!")

Also, you forgot Jeff & Lassie (forget little Timmy - damn kid had only one trick - falling into wells). And Rintintin and whatsisface.

And, you forgot the founders of the happy suburban couple routine: Ozzie & Harriet. And the founders of the silly couple routine: Lucy & Desi. Okay, maybe not - George and Grace did it much better than Lucy & Desi ever did, and Gracie didn't have Lucy's screechy voice. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, I have an awful suspicion that my wife & I are a George & Gracie couple.

On edit: Oooh-ooh - what about Beavis & Butthead - or is that Tom & Jerry again?

[XNASA]

23. Most of your suggestions did make the final 20 or so.....

Lucy & Ricky were too obvious. As were Ozzie and Harriet. I figured that Ward & June were a better selection anyway. I also considered Gearge and Gracie.

I draw the line at mixed species relationships. Therefore, Timmy and Lassie were not included.

[Snow]

33. Butbutbutbut.....Beany & Cecil were a mixed-species couple!

weren't they? Okay, Cecil was, a, ummmm, mythical beast (sea-sick sea serpent), but still. So Lassie & Rintintin weren't sapient?

[XNASA]

35. Perhaps. Although, I'm not really sure were Cecil fits in.

Lassie and RinTinTin were not sapient. They might even be homosapient.

[madmax]

4. Monk and Sharona

Not that they're a couple... I'm a female Monk :evilgrin:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

53. DARN

Ya beat me to it. :hi:

[UdoKier]

5. Ren and Stimpy.

Not really, but they shoulda been a choice.

[XNASA]

9. The original Ren & Stimpy are represented....

By Tom & Jerry.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

6. Sid and Nancy

[XNASA]

10. Not a TV Couple........

Ya shite!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Ok ok - Julia Childs and Jacques Pepin

If Julia only made cerial and did the dishes while I cook :)

[BringEmOn]

8. Al and Peggy Bundy

[XNASA]

12. They hit too close to home.....

And therefore, I decided not to include them.

Sad. Isn't it?

[underpants]

14. Gonna have to go with Homer and Marge

Sadly

[XNASA]

18. Yeah.

I can see that.

[underpants]

24. Thanks

Thanks a lot

[fudge stripe cookays]

Yup, us too.

reprehensor has actually been known to utter the words, "I'd do anything right now for a drop of sweeeet beeeeer." Homer for him.

And although my hair is not blue, it is big. So Marge for me.

We lack the annoying kids, but in our own goofy way, we do love each other in that warped Simpsons way.

[Worst Username Ever]

15. Ross and Rachel

on, off again, on again, off again, me the pseudo-intellectual, her the cute blond, finally ending up together.

[XNASA]

17. I don't care which poll you vote in.......

But Ross and Rachel is never the correct answer.

Unless the question is, "Which TV Couple would you like to see sign a suicide pact with each other and carry it out successfully?"

[tigerbeat]

65. flame me if you must "Friends" haters....

but my answer is Monica and Chandler.

sorry. it's just true.

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. Cousin Itt and Thing.

[iconoclastic cat]

21. Jinx!

[XNASA]

27. I recently discovered by searching the IMDB that....

Anthony Zuiker (sp?), Gary Sinise, the guy who played Cousin Itt in the movie version and myself were all born in the same hospital.

Weird.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. That is very interesting.

That is, if you are interested in the banal and mundane.

[XNASA]

36. Banal? That's right up my alley.

[Magrittes Pipe]

37. Well, then, perfect!

[stanwyck]

48. Malcolm's parents n/t

[iconoclastic cat]

20. Gomez and Morticia, usually.

That's French!

[XNASA]

28. How could I have forgotten Gomez & Morticia.

Actually, they are the couple that we aspire to, but we fall short.

If only.

[Misinformed01]

22. Dharma and Greg

I am married to Skeptic JanMichael

[WI_DEM]

25. Samantha and Darrin Stephens

because i'm "Bewitched" by my girlfriend.

[mark11727]

26. Ricky and Lucy....

I married a redhead.

[MadAsHell]

30. What, no ...

Laurel and Hardy (that's another fine mess you've gotten us into), or

Burns and Allen (Say goodnight, Gracie), or

Abbott and Costello (Who's on first? I don't know! Second Base!), or

[Misunderestimator]

31. This thread just made me realize that there aren't ANY lesbian TV couples

Other than on HBO and SHO. Well, shit.... that's kinda depressing.

[underpants]

32. Laverne & Shirley

but they are off the air.

[Mara Steele]

38. You know what I want, mis?

I want a lesbian-cop action hero team. Like the lesbian version of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon. That's my dream...

[Magrittes Pipe]

39. Cagney and Lacey.

;)

[Mara Steele]

40. They're very cool

But alas, non-lesbian... officially ;)

[Magrittes Pipe]

41. They're about as straight as Bert and Ernie.

:eyes:

[Mara Steele]

42. Yeah well...

until I see a make-out scene I won't be satisfied. :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

43. That would be cool... I'd settle though for simply a fair representation

...with as many lesbian couples on TV as there are in real life. What a concept that would be.

[Mara Steele]

47. Yeah, but they could be cops...

And there would be this whole drama where they get closer all the time... :)

[Misunderestimator]

50. Uh oh.... I see that Mara has a cop fettish...

Hmm... which would you have chosen, Cagney or Lacey (if you had to choose)?

[Mara Steele]

66. More like a fantasy!! =)

& I'm definitely Cagney's girl!

[gpandas]

34. the honeymooners-jackie gleason&audrey meadows

[Susang]

44. Well what couple did you answer, Mr. Snooty Pants?

Inquiring minds want to know...

BTW, my answer would have to be Sharon and Ozzy from The Osbournes!

[Susang]

46. ANSWER ME!!!!!!

}(

[XNASA]

49. Basil & Sybil.

Mrs XNASA--the calm, collected, composed and elegant contessa.

Me---the blithering idiot.

[Susang]

52. Michael would like to think we are like Basil and Sybil

He has that John Cleese fixation, you know. ;-) Unfortunately, I don't spend nearly enough time on the phone. We'd have to be Polly and Basil for it to work, as I feel like I'm always cleaning up messes and getting suckered into schemes. :-)

Ozzy and Sharon (without the dysfunctional children, of course)more accurately mirrors our lifestyle at present. Michael: likes to wander around the house in his bathrobe mumbling and confused, brilliant when performing. Me: Nagging, strong-willed & opinionated with a talent for management. Too many animals running around the house.

[Susang]

61. On the other hand....M. and I could be like The Captain and Tennille!

He's quiet, plays a lot of instruments and sometimes people think he's weird; I'm a singer, tend to do most of the talking for both of us and I like to wear shiny things! :D

[XNASA]

51. My goal has always been to mirror Gomez & Morticia.

I've even taken up smoking cigars. Now if I could just get C into the octopus dress.

[arwalden]

55. "Don't Torture Yourself, Gomez... that's MY job!"

[Susang]

58. I could see C. in that dress,

Though I think she might put up some resistance to the idea. I don't have a problem seeing you as Gomez, with the exception of the suits. Seeing as I've rarely seen you out of a t-shirt and jeans, I just don't see that happening. ;-)

Strangely enough, I used to strongly resemble Morticia, as done by Anglica Huston (though I alwasy wished I looked like the Caroline Jones version). Alas, as I age, the jet black hair was a little too unforgiving, if you know what I mean.

[XNASA]

64. I was once quite the dandy.

I even owned a double-breasted pin-stripe. It shouldn't be too long now, and I will morph into Gomez. It will happen, sooner or later.

And C. looks very much like Carolyn Jones. Moreso than anyone I've ever met. Just look at my avatar and try to imagine her with long black hair....it's a match!!!

[Susang]

70. That's why I can envision her in the dress

I agree, she strongly resembles the original Morticia, particularly after seeing some of the old pictures (& video) you guys entertained us with.

I'm still holding out on the XNASA=Gomez thing. Perhaps you'll have to prove it to me (& Michael) sometime! }(

[mac56]

45. Paul and Jamie from "Mad About You"

on our better days.

Roseanne and Dan on our worse days.

[arwalden]

54. "Paul and Jamie" (Mad About You) --- "Cliff and Claire" (Cosby Show)

Between those two, it's mostly "Paul and Jamie".

ALTHOUGH... sometimes it's like "Marie and Frank" (Everybody Loves Raymond).

-- Allen

(Excellent idea for a thread Xnasa!)

[Misunderestimator]

56. And that begs the question.... which of you is the woman?

:shrug:

[arwalden]

57. You Nut!

We take turns? I don't know... I don't think we've settled into any "roles". It's just our personalities that seem to match the characters.

:hi:

However with Paul and Jamie, the story lines themselves were VERY close to many events in our real lives.

-- Allen

[Misunderestimator]

60. Hehe....

Never settle into any roles! Ok, then which are you, Paul or Jamie?

:hi:

[Susang]

59. How come nobody has said Donny and Marie yet?

Just wondering........}(

[EstimatedProphet]

62. Irene and Frank Lorenzo

From All in the Family
They were cross-"roled"-he was the cook (like me) and she was the fixit person.

[terrya]

63. No one said Herman and Lily Munster....

Interesting. :-)

[Blue-Jay]

67. Are you Herman or Lily?

:D

[terrya]

68. I'm Lily. I do look good in a shroud, if I do say so myself. :-)

[HEyHEY]

69. No Archie and Edith? n/t

[chiburb]

71. Sam & Diane...

When we're not being Basil & Sybil.

[geniph]

72. Gomez and Morticia Addams

"do you still love the old ball and chain, darling?"

"yes!"

"I'll get them."
