At least his name isn't Jack.

Okay, guys. So here's the thing. I have been streaming TV off netflix like crazy and I have just discovered Medium. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SHOW? I just... Allison and Joe are like my favorite TV married couple of all time. Up there with Coach and Mrs. Coach, and Jed and Abbey, and I can't even think of any others because how often do you get to see awesomesauce established relationships on TV? Ones not laden with cliche and forced melodrama and stupid misunderstandings (so far)? How often do you get a functioning couple that still makes me squee like an idiot over them like the greatest OTP ever? NEVER, that's how often. (Plus, Allison looks like a normal mother, you know, real. Like she actually gave birth to three kids. At least so far. I hope they don't glam her up later.)

Season 2's 'Twice Upon a Time' and season 3's 'The One Behind The Wheel' kill my shipper heart dead. I want a Joe of my very own. (God, the snark! the logic! the hair!) Though a very very close second is any episode where the girls get involved with visions or, you know, stealing cable. LOVE.

And I have only just finished season three. If you spoil me in any way for anything I will...I dunno. Do something mean. Like think not kind thoughts about you. Just so you know. Lol. (And yes, I consider, "Oh, the show goes so downhill after season four," or "I wish so and so character hadn't been written out" spoilers. I'm the freak who doesn't like to watch the 'Next Time' promos. I do know it has been cancelled, but I like closed canons. Much less anxiety.)

So who are your favorite on-screen married couples? Can you think of any? :)

Allison and Joe are awesome. I have rhapsodized about them in my LJ at least once. It's the most realistic marriage I can ever recall seeing on TV. I LOVE that even when they fight, you always know they'll be okay. For that matter, I love that they fight. The kids generally act their ages, too.

I only watch Medium in season-long bursts, and I'm a season behind ATM, but I'll get back to it sometime and love them all over again.

It's so well done that I'm sort of amazed I never got around to watching it until now. Because now I want how Allison and Joe met fic. And how Joe begins to notice his new girlfriend will never spend the night fic. I am doomed.
