    Storyline

    Edit
    Ned and Stacey get married one week after they meet. He marries her to get a promotion. She marries him because she can't find a place to live and likes his apartment. She hates his self-righteous attitude. He doesn't like her re-decorating his living room. Will their marriage actually result in love? Will Ned finally figure out that those people he talked to at their wedding are Stacey's parents? —Danny Paikov <deepee@netvision.net.il>

      [At a costume party]

      Ned Dorsey: I'm looking for my mother. She said if I get lost I should stand next to the pretty bee.

      Girl: Interesting line.

      Ned Dorsey: Well, it usually doesn't work. Good thing you're dressed like a bee.

    MUCH better than Will and Grace
    Interesting that NBC put Debra Messing into nearly the same role, while trading in a very witty sitcom for a mediocre one.

    Ned is not gay, just ambitious and self-involved, and even in its last days, the show never fell to the level of hooking up the main m/f antagonists. Greg Germann (later on Allie McBeal) and Nadia Dajian are very funny as Ned's best friends.

    It's too bad that interesting, complex characters (ambitious Ned, young and confused Stacey, wacky but very happy Amanda and Eric) are replaced by the easier-to-understand stereotypes: cute-gay Will, not-so-cute-gay Jack and the so common it's boring strident-oversexed-single female-"best friend". And I don't recall a laugh track on Ned and Stacey.

    Anyway, if there's any way of seeing this show, you'll see what I mean. I'd love to see Thomas Haden Church in a big role. He's extremely talented.
