Even within sitcoms that aren’t well known for their romantic plot lines, TV comedies frequently showcase the ups and downs of being in a relationship. After all, many sitcoms live or die based on character interactions and humor mined from believable/everyday situations, and most viewers can likely relate, in one way or another, to stories surrounding falling in of love, as well as the challenges of sustaining a relationship.
9 Peter and Lois 'Family Guy' Given it’s a show of genuinely good highs and some rather upsetting lows, it might not be surprising to observe that the central relationship in Family Guy – that of Peter and Lois Griffin – is bizarre. It feels like a bizarro version of Homer and Marge Simpson’s dynamic, deliberately heightened even more, generally for comedic effect .
Out of Mark and Jez, the show’s two main characters, the former gets the longest-term relationship in Peep Show, with a woman named Sophie, who was played by Olivia Colman before she had breakout success with shows like The Crown and movies like The Favourite. Mark and Sophie are intended to be terrible for each other, and that leads to much dark humor and discomfort. Fans of Armstrong’s work are likely well-acquainted with such feelings.
Seinfeld is also a show where characters cycle in and out of relationships at an alarming rate, to the point where it’s surprising to see a girlfriend last longer than an episode. George Costanza gets a long-term relationship, though, even getting engaged to Susan Ross before events transpire that make marriage no longer possible. Their relationship is a terrible and dysfunctional one that hilariously spans numerous episodes, and few sitcom “romances” have even been so effectively unromantic.
Michael and Jan’s brief romance is certainly bad on purpose, but the show’s surprisingly uncompromising in how far it’s willing to go to show how bad these two are for each other. The Office is a show filled with both positive and negative romances, lasting all sorts of different spans of time, with Michael and Jan’s being the most uncomfortable of the lot.
