If you've watch enough TV, you'd notice that there are some shows where one or more lead characters are married/otherwise committed to spouses/partner/significant others that are pretty understanding as to what they do for a living and are pretty much okay with their quirks and idiosyncrasies. I watch these shows with incredulity when it comes to their home life aspect, thinking "that's not for real!" - I know it's not, just bear with me.
Here's a list of characters that comes to mind:
- Tiffani Thiessen's character Elizabeth Burke on White Collar
- David Conrad's character on The Ghost Whisperer (as Jennifer Love-Hewitt's uber understanding husband)
- At least one of the women on Army Wives... and maybe that guy who's wife is in the army.
- Jon Tenney on The Closer - so much so that he doesn't even wear the pants in their marriage anymore :P But it's good to see him exasperated with the wife on occasion.
- Kelli Williams on Lie to Me - while technically not romantically involved with Tim Roth's Dr Cal Lightman, but she seems to be okay with his crazy shenanigans and is about as good as a TV spouse can get.
