I liked the variety at first, but then I rapidly got a bit o.O that, while functional, *every* family was either missing a parent for one reason or another and/or unhappy (or in the case of Martha's family, both). And then most of the unmarried love affairs were doomed in one manner or another.

So yes - some of them have to be, and I'm glad that it finally sunk in that there had to be a couple of 'em left in the UK!

It's a pattern for TV in general, I think - I can name maybe one or two functional married couples out of all the TV I watch. Supposedly a married couple or long-term committed partnership isn't as interesting as family drama or romance outside of marriage, which seems like a bit of a failure of imagination to me.

It used to be better, I think. Scarecrow & Mrs. King were eventually married, Hart to Hart were always married, as were the leads in the original Invisible Man series.

Half the issues in Hart to Hart were "will this break up their wonderful marriage? Of course not!"
