obsession * the sticky tv romance

Tonight is season premier night for two of the best unrequited love driven comedies on television; Ugly Betty and The Office. I officially like watching both of these shows because they are loaded with uniquely crafted and expertly portrayed characters. I am officially addicted to these shows because of the romantic tension between the characters. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago where The Office premier was ten minutes long, consisted of Jim and Pam kissing after declaring their love for one another and was the end of the series.

I almost wish something like that would happen because it would be immensely satisfying for these characters that are so easily relateable to get together and whisk themselves away leaving us with our imaginations of their happily ever after. I understand that a show about Betty and Henry being easily in love would be excruciatingly boring, but maybe there can be a show where every three weeks we meet two people, watch them overcome obstacles to ultimately end up together and we get to move on to the next set of soon to be lovers. It can be called The Chic Flick Show and there will be no brunette Carrie Bradshaws allowed.
