Ned and Stacey
Thinking about the sitcom Ned and Stacey. If you recall, Ned needed a wife so he could get a promotion. Needed a wife to get a promotion... Does that sound plausible to, well, anybody? Since when does an advertising company care one iota about its employees' personal lives, anyway? But it gets more ludicrous that that. For Stacey, bless her cute little face, needed an apartment so she could 'get a life'. Okay, perhaps that's not so far-fetched but, on the other hand, very few people faced with such a scenario decide to get married in order to obtain the aforementioned life-providing lease. Many, for example, simply find roommates. At the beginning of each episode, Ned and Stacey would recount this far-fetched basis for the sitcom and then implore us to somehow suspend our disbelief and 'enjoy the show'. Good luck.
It was not, however, the most far-fetched premise for a 90s TV show. That honour goes to Beverly Hills, 90210 which, if you recall, used as its starting point the notion that Tori Spelling could have friends.
Begone,
-- Back to all tv
