Hi everyone!

Yeah, I'm still not done watching some episodes from last week's block, and I don't think anyone's really talked about these two that I watched last night, so what do you guys think about these:?

well, I watched the episode "Dreamgirl"... ok now, did anyone else almost have a COW the first time you saw this episode, and not realize that it was just someone dreaming when Joe kissed that Shannon woman? lol it was so weird. I was flipping out. I was thinking "noooo Joe you can't do that! what about Helen??!!!!!!!!!!" hahaha that seriously bothered the hell out of me! it was so weird. Well, it's like, Joe and Helen's relationship is different than a lot of relationships on TV. I mean, the writers never brought any bullcrap, like cheating issues, and junk like that into it. and that's what I love about their relationship. They truly love each other, and they would never think about cheating on each other. So I was freaking out. wow.
then Helen woke up, and I was like, "o thank goodness! it was a dream!" hehe i was so relieved. it was so weird.
and then she kicked him out of bed so he fell on the floor because she was mad at what he did in her dream. hahaha that was sooo funny. he was like, "what happened?" and she says, "i don't know, you must have had one of your falling-out-of-bed dreams." lol!
That episode was funny though. It was so funny how Brian could barely function around Shannon. Like, when he dropped the pencils, and then he picked them up and attempted to put them back in the pencil holder can thing, but threw them across the room instead. hahaha!

and I also watched "Heartache Tonight". That one was also pretty funny. Roy's mom was funny. lol!
Nothing really stands out from that epiosde tho that I can think of...

That's why I love watching the relationship of Joe and Helen as a married couple.....they're so true-to-life! They don't get sappy and lovey-dovey....in fact, most of the time they bicker like HELL! Helen will get mad at Joe because he's not acting a certain way or saying what she wants him to say, and Helen drives Joe NUTS because she'll constantly change her mind, or say one thing and expect another, etc. However, through it all you can see a genuine LOVE there that you just KNOW lasted through the years.

Joe and Helen Hackett never came across as "Prince and Princess Charming"....each person had his or her faults, and the marriage could be truly trying at times, but they're one of my favorite TV sitcom couples!

yeah pilotguy- I think that's what it is, why they're my favorite TV couple- their marriage is very true-to-life. They argue and bicker sometimes and have disagreements. But like you said:
