Love is in the air, but how about the airwaves? Just about every
television sitcom has featured a dating dilemma at one time or another, often
with hilarious results. From a frog-topped pizza to a mega wardrobe
malfunction, welcome to sitcom love, American style. In honor of Valentine's
Day, check out these TV dates that went awry.
Poor Greg Brady. He has a date with the grooviest chick at school,
but, thanks to a bad bet, he's stuck taking his kid brother to a frog jumping
contest. Luckily Greg's date, Rachel, is a good sport and agrees to go to a
drive-in movie with him after the contest. Too bad Greg goes to the
snack bar to grab a snack and finds that his little bro left the frogs in the
back seat of his car. Can you say a large pizza with pepperoni and frog legs?
Talk about an unappetizing date!
On "Friends," Ross Gellar wants to look cool for his hot
date with Elizabeth, so he buys some leather pants. But when the leather gets
too hot an on his legs, his date stops cold. Ross rushes for a bathroom break
to try to cool down, but the sweaty pants get stuck on his legs and he can't
get them back on. Add a frantic phone call to Joey and the bad advice to try
slapping talcum powder and lotion on his legs and you've got a recipe for pasty
pants!
On "The Mary
Tyler Moore Show," Minnesota's resident single lady dated a variety of
interesting men, with one of her strangest dates being with an older gentleman
who turned out to be her pal Murray's dad! But Mary Richards' date with her
newsroom boss, Mr. Grant, took the cake. Thankfully they decided to stay
friends without benefits and the series ended one
episode later or this could have turned into major shark-jumping. Besides,
would we really ever want to witness a love scene
between Mare and Mr. Grant?
When they first met,
Doug Heffernan was a beefy club bouncer and Carrie Spooner was a vampy vixen.
They ended up on a default date after their BFFs hooked up, but it wasn't love
at first sight. Doug and Carrie's first date night featured an SAT quiz (the
only book Doug owned), a retro black light show, and gin-spiked beers. And
although the night culminated with their first fight, in the end these
opposites attracted.
New York single lady Carrie Bradshaw had plenty of bad dates on
HBO’s “Sex and the City” -- from a frat
boy who didn't keep toilet paper in his house to an insecure writer who broke
up with her via a Post-It note. But one of her worst dates occurred on the
series finale, when she accompanied then-boyfriend Aleksandr Petrovsky to his
museum opening. Petrovsky accidentally slapped her, broke her beloved
"Carrie" necklace and ditched her to mingle with his artsy friends.
Carrie took the first flight out of Paris with her knight in shining armor, Mr.
Big. Hey, maybe that wasn't such a bad date after all…
