perhaps being able to name a handful of shows at best is the proof in the pudding.
lets simply use the nielsen ratings from last week:
top 10 primetime shows
1. monday night football (remember the terrell owens-nicollette sheridan towel shedding fiasco a few weeks ago!)
2. everybody loves raymond (none)
3. csi: miami
4. csi (i think two of the workers are enjoined)
5. two and a half men (none)
6. without a trace (?)
7. nfl monday showcase
8. desperate housewives (though hispanics are represented, other races aren't. no interracial couples)
9. 60 minutes (perhaps lesley stahl and ed bradley can hook up?!??)
10. nfl sunday fox post game (james brown and terry bradshaw?!)
top 10 cable shows
1. nfl (ravens-colts) (ray lewis & peyton manning?!
2. nfl (falcons-panthers) (mike vick and jake delhomme?!)
3. wwe raw zone
4. sportscenter (stuart scott and chris berman?!
4. wwe raw
6. fairly odd parents
6. spongebob squarepants
8. spongebob squarepants
10. spongebob squarepants
10. sportscenter
suffice it to say, the shows are few and far in between. it seems as when there is a couple, it's generally not a focal point of the show, and generally a short-lived relationship.
