You might excuse me... it's about... 5:30 in the morning... I didn’t sleep and I have worked to do (still) for today in court...
But, suddenly (maybe a coffee weird effect?) I've remembered yesterday morning episode of *Wings*: "Nuptials Off" and there she was, again, just like in "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"... JOE'S BINDER... And that's when I realized that Monica (Bing?) -from Friends- had one too...
I'm not trying to compare two different shows (I like Friends but I LOVE *Wings*!!!!) but the truth is... they have a couple of qualities in common...
you have to admite that both are
*obsessive with work ("A pilot is supposed to instill confidence in the passengers...you're saying, "Look at me, I'm an idiot.")
*obsessive with cleanliness (he paid a fortune for a simple problem with a cleaner machine in "Hosed")
*a bit compulsive? (the Joe and Helen coctel' napkins means she had doubts about marry him)
*very organized (he filled out the warranty card of his first bike before start to play with it)
*serious (yet, hornies... he he he)
*they'd married with and old-time friend
Sorry if I started a silly thread...
what do you think?

Monica and Helen also were both overweight outcasts in their childhoods who later went on to work as chefs. Helen also married her longtime friend. I think if you look at a lot of different shows, you'll find quite a few characters with similar qualities.

Semi-OT: I've recently gotten hooked on reruns of M*A*S*H and for some reason, Radar makes me think of Antonio.

Yeah, I can see where you'd think Radar was like Antonio...kind of naive to some things...cool observations! :happyface
