It might be well written (though mostly it seems way to cutesy, and then self-congratulatory for being cute for its own good). I don't really like Cox, and it seems I have one too few X chromosomes to really be part of the show's target demo. I get their point - two friends, one has a husband who worships and obeys her, and he is good and happy (and financially successful), the other has a husband who cheated on her, and did not support her in finding her true self, and he is an idiot, unhappy, (and a financial failure). Worship and obey the women in your life or bad things will happen to you - as the father of two college aged women and the husband of another I don't mind that message, but as TV viewer I would usually write it off as an after school special (for "balance", one supporting character has been the repeated victim of exploitative men, the other has been hurt by a cheating woman - though the curve of his story arc has always obviously been to recognize that his happiness will require him to worship and obey Cox eventually). Maybe you are right and it is so well written it transcends its rather stilted premise. BTW, has there been a television show so centered on alcohol? I don't think they guys in Cheers drank as much. They have become very self-conscious of this in recent episodes (have they been getting criticized for it?). -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
