TV/Movies Megathread

The Honeymooners, hot wife?  Really?

[Viking]

There is no way in holy hell or on God's green earth that a Jennifer Aniston would voluntarily, willfully and knowingly ever hook up with a David Schwimmer.  Just would not happen.

Well, he did, in real life, date Natali Imbruglia


Edit: who, btw, is evidence that my long hair thesis is bs as she is very much hotter with shorter hair.

The Honeymooners, hot wife?  Really?

Compared to Jackie Gleason and Art Carney, hell yeah.

[Admiral Yi]

Just thought of much, much  better examples for you frunk: The Dick Van Dyke Show and Bewitched.

The Honeymooners, hot wife?  Really?

After a quick hit on google image search, if you put aside the frumpy 50s-era housewife clothes, she was indeed a looker.

[Admiral Yi]

Fair enough.

[crazy canuck]

Bewitched.

[Barrister]

The more I think about it, I can't think of any lead actress on a sitcom who wasn't attractive.

Well, besides Roseanne.

[Viking]

BTW, from the remakes

flintstones

Wilma

Betty

honeymooners

Alice

sorry, but Rosie O'Donnell and Celia Hodes from Weeds is not supporting the super hott females with ugly men on tv trope

Edit: I am aware that I just shot myself in the foot using movie actresses to make a point about tv actresses.

Pretty sure frunk was talking about the cartoons.  And without a doubt Betty and Mrs. Jetson were solid looking babes.

Friends was a good show and had some pop in its writing until Ross and Rachel finally hooked up.  Like, really.  As if that would ever fucking happen IRL.

Reasonably decent-looking college professor living high off the student loan gravy train bagging a waitress with no real job skills?  Probably has been done.

There is no way in holy hell or on God's green earth that a Jennifer Aniston would voluntarily, willfully and knowingly ever hook up with a David Schwimmer.  Just would not happen.

Unfortunately, it did happen on television, thus paving the way for other IRL Impossibilities such as King of Queens, According to Jim, Everybody Loves Raymond, and The George Lopez Show in the You-Gotta-Be-Kidding-Me-Really sitcom matchups that would never, ever occur in reality.

Would the dude from Silver Spoons have a shot with Erin Gray if you took away his millions?

That depends, does he have a space ship?

Are you being sarcastic?  I dont know the Lopez show but I dont see the mismatches in the other shows.  Actually pretty accurate of real life.

King of Queens  - short girl with decent looks marries short guy who once might have been on the football team - both are in pretty much dead end jobs but hey the sex in high school was great so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

According to Jim - dont really know this one but from the little I do know, dumb blonde marries dumb husband - sex in high school was great so it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Everybody loves Raymond - Really dont see the mismatch at all.

Now Modern Family is one.  Every once in a while I muse to my wife that starting another family with a hott Columbian might not be half bad.

[Admiral Yi]

The chick in King of Queens is pretty tasty.  The chick in According to Jim is an ultrapussy.
