Miss M responded to this morning's post about the West Wing characters by telling about a Slate story and podcast on other famous "Do it, already, willya" TV couples. I listened to it today. Only 10 minutes and worth a listen if you like this sort of thing.

Kate Aurthur, the Slate writer interviewed in the podcast, mentions Moonlighting and Cheers, too. I guesss Donna and Josh caused lots of people to think of these couples.

Guan Yang picked up on my Northanger Abbey reference, pleading the case for romance in response to my comment that I didn't like Catherine's hero worship of Henry.

Well, yeah, I know. It was romantic, and I wouldn't have a problem with the relationship at all had JA not stuck in her two cents about what was in Henry's mind. Had she left us alone to observe their behavior, I'd think they were perfectly sweet together, but she had to go and say that Henry loved her because she was so head-over-heels about him. Something's always bugged me about that.
