When you watch way too many sitcoms...

..you make useless observations like this :

How every sitcom has this Quirky Couple Who'll Stick with It Till The End. Like Chandler and Monica (Friends) , Carla and Turk ( Scrubs), Marshall and Lily (HIMYM). And all other characters aspire and hope to end up like them ( but instead are painfully tortured by bad relationships till the end of the series).Random episode begins with all characters having relationship issues including our Quirky Couple. Then as the episode proceeds other characters soon realize that they and their temporary(but shush, we're not supposed to know that yet) gf/bf's are not meant to be with each other, they talk it over and at the end of the day decide to split. By contrast, what happens to our Quirky Couple? but of course, the Wife/Husband(or soon-to-be) understands the reason behind the reason behind the reason why the Husband/Wife set fire to the house and then tried to hid that from her/him.All is forgiven and they return to being their madly-in-love-with-each-ot

her-selves (with the charred house in the background).It's like the writers want to give the viewers hope that all's not lost.Relationships may keep falling apart all around(and need to, to bring in new characters and to keep their ratings up till season XX )but awww look! At least the Quirky Couple's doing fine.

Of course, They can't afford to have a Q.C in a Drama Series - Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy and such- where the writers need to apply careful Permutations and Combinations to determine who sleeps with whom each episode to keep the series going.

Anyhoo, that's about it.Gotta go watch Scrubs :).
