It's obviously the dream of every straight man on earth so why should sitcom writers be any different? So many shows have put forth the premise that gorgeous women love regular schlubs. Of the TV duos who demonstrate this principle, which is most believable couple?

Being called a regular schlub is probably the best compliment Frankenstein (Herman) has ever received.

The thing with this topic is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my eyeballs think about 4 of these couples are on about the same level, at least in the pics chosen. But the only one that's bothering me so much I can't keep it to myself is #24 Jimmy and Christine. THEY HAVE THE SAME FACE

Christine needs to stick her tongue out a bit.

Which do you think are on the same level?

HAHAHAH I don't think the tongue would do anything they look totally monozygotic; Tim Allen and his gal #34 also look related and like ur everyday average ppl, All In The Fam #5 also look related but it's hard to tell what effect the pic u chose played because......Sally has changed.

#22 Christopher and Erin also look like siblings . Chris totes looked like Gordon Ramsay from afar so that was enough to pique my age-inappropriate interest. Greg and Kim #23- I understand she's like slightly more flawless than him but they still look very similar, so I think a more exaggerated effect is needed b/w the two characters so everyone gets it

And pls take Ross and Nick from New Girl away.. :( ur hurting their feelings by calling them meh men
