30 Day TV Challenge

I’m sure pretty much every couple in TV annoy me at certain points. Ross and Rachel just felt forced and a convenient end to Friends (and I’ve already covered Friends) and Tim and Dawn from The Office seemed too obvious. I was going to pick a non romantic relationship just to mix things up a bit but then I remembered this couple and remembered how great they were…

Party Down – Henry & Casey

Party Down is about a catering company and its employees and the various different parties they cater. The company consists of mainly failed actors/writers trying to get a break and so they all hate their job (apart from one or two) and mess around trying to get through a shift. It’s brilliantly written and has some excellent (and relatable) characters.

I think the main reason I love these two together is because Party Down only ran for two seasons and so their relationship never got boring or stale or had over the top drama added to it to spice it up. Plus, you could see that these two were going to end up together from the off and their relationship is very much the heart of the show (well, to me it is). They are both smart arses and them ripping on each other (and themselves) is awesome.

Plus, y’know, LIZZY FUCKING CAPLAN (it’s from True Blood but whatever).
