: : 9. Could there BE anymore questions?

: Here's mine. And I'm serious.

: Why would you ever watch a sitcom to "see what happens" to the relationships of the characters? Isn't that the hallmark of a bad half-hour comedy, when it has to fall back on "very special episodes" "hallmark events" and "will-they won't-they" bullshit?

: There's any number of dramatic series and films out there. Why start "falling for" and "caring about" the characters in the comedy series?

-- I'm pretty sure that's why a few other people watch it for too. Still, EXCELLENT point - you can't have comedy with character development, sez Smalls.
You and Jami would make an adorable couple.
