FYI: Just a reminder that there's a new episode of Ed on tonight, titled "Just a Formality".
Unless that actor that plays Eli is actually wheelchair bound which I believe him not to beYou believe incorrectly. Daryl Mitchell was in a motorcycle accident in late 2001 that resulted in his being paralyzed from the waist down.

How boring is a show about 2 married couples in a small town? (Bowling alley lawyer or not)
Actually, this is what I've been hoping for! I enjoy seeing Ed & Carol together, for me there doesn't have to be a constant "chase" mentality. What you see as boring, I see as a fine direction for the show to take. It's something that will let the writers focus more on what I feel this show was all about: a great ensemble cast that can handle comedy, drama, and all around quirkiness better than any I've seen.

I actually liked the episode, but was incredulous that Warren was not in it - his best friend getting spewed across the Internet and he's not around? Was there a story-internal reason given for Cheswick's absence?Actually, there was a mention of this in the beginning of the episode. Mark said something to the effect of Cheswick being away representing the school somewhere. I forget exactly what it was.
I think that perhaps the idea of Ed and Carol settling down appeals on a broader level to Women than to MenNope, I'm happy they're together - what irks me is the endless angst the writers are putting them through. Since they've been together, there's been exactly ONE episode where they haven't fought or had some relationship-defining conflict. Ugh. I'd rather see them mostly happy and bantering and affectionate with occasional strife.
I hate to say this, but I'm edging towards bailing on the show. If we continue to get more contrivances aimed at upping the dramatic tension, it'll be VERY hard for me to watch. I might just consider the series done at the end of last season, and wait for the DVDs to come out.
