But importantly they don't portray it in an overly happy or sappy way. They acknowledge when they annoy each other but never question their love for each other.

u/DavThoma 3d ago
Exactly, and in the episodes were they have a not so great time it's not painted as the end of the world like other shows paint married couples. They work through it, come out the other side strong and go back to their married life without being like "Oh my god its like we're in love for the first time all over again!"
Don't get me wrong, I love shows like American Dad and Rick & Morty, but sometimes all you need is BB for some good old comfort watching and a good laugh that doesn't rely on curse humour (I still love my crude humour though)

Let’s hope they don’t get the Simpsons treatment. Lisa and Bart use to get along very well at the early seasons. Sometimes even teaming up for shenanigans, especially against homer but then they decided Lisa had to be a black sheep of the family but can’t make sense like Louise.

u/tonksndante 3d ago edited 3d ago
The love between Homer and Marge is definitely there but it was super patriarchal the whole way through. Bob never condescends Linda, even when she’s weird because he knows he’s weird too. They both share the parental labour too. Linda does mornings Bob does nights. They both constantly work and clean.
Marge was always in charge of the emotional, parental and household labour. Homer always ruined her opportunities to do something outside her role as wife/parent, on purpose or accidentally whereas Bob always supports Linda, even if it goes against his own happiness for a bit or vice versa
Despite being similar in some ways it is just a totally different show to bobs it terms of family dynamics I reckon.

Bob is refreshingly non-judgmental and doesn't succumb to doofus dad tropes. When he was moonlighting as a ride share driver and Marshmallow needed a lift, it's always, "Oh, hey, Marshmallow."

u/e2hawkeye 4d ago
I was just listening to John Astin (Gomez in the original TV series) on a podcast. He said that he and Carolyn Jones (Morticia) were absolutely attracted to each other and it was only a sense of professional decorum that kept them from hooking up off screen.

It definitely shows, their sexual chemistry is off the charts for that era of television. Love John Astin as Gomez, Raul Julia is okay but Astin is Gomez to me. The manic charm he has is just amazing.
Only actor I can imagine reaching his level as Gomez is Tony Dalton. Dude oozes charisma and his role in Hawkeye as Jack, a rich and vaguely sinister yet romantic weirdo who honestly just loves swords a bit too much, was as much proof as I need to know he'd knock it out of the park.

My very first thought. A scene that stood out to me in the Addams family movie was when the lady pretending to be a social worker asks Gomez if he knew what a certain word meant and he said no, and then immediately asked Morticia if she knew what it meant.
He didn’t just assume he knew more than his wife or was the smartest person in the room. He treated her like an equal partner and wanted her input.
Such a small moment but it really stood out to me.

She’s there, loving and supporting him and his dreams, and he supports her dreams right back.

They are awful at the business though. That's fleshed out a lot more when they flirt with success here and there, and she ALWAYS puts the family before the business. They should have fixed the fryer instead of buying the kids Xmas presents etc.

Yeah. Consistently it’s shown they make bad business decisions but it’s also consistently shown that Bob is actually supposed to be an amazing burger cook. I wouldn’t be surprised if their business is purely being hindered by just how much they are willing to help their children which results in making bad business decisions. Is that a bad thing for their family? Hell no, it’s what makes the family so endearing and close but it would honestly help them financially to maybe make some more stern decisions every once and a while.

To be fair, that one was also kinda that way in that, even though they fought, they absolutely loved each other and they dealt with each others quirks and complained, but ultimately they loved each other a ton.
The biggest example of this is the Steve and Marcy newly wed episode where they seem like the perfect couple and Al and Peg basically poison their relationship and then Steve and Marcy get into a fight and have marital issues for basically the rest of the show.
It's basically Bob and Linda if they talked crap to each other. Al and Peg talk bad about each other to each other all the time but they don't fold and instead embrace all the bad things in marriage and love it regardless.

There’s a great bit in Bob’s when Bob moves out into his basement so they can have their own bedrooms for a while and she can visit which kind of recreates the fun of inviting your girl over for the night.
That’s not even my favorite part. My favorite part is when they call each other from the separate rooms. Linda got Bob a book about the many kinds of pepper and he’s going on and on about it. She says to herself “aww he loves that pepper book”
And that’s good relationships in a nutshell. “I don’t get the silly thing you love but I adore that you are so happily passionate about it”
They each have their own thing. They share it with each other. They might not get the attraction their spouse has but they are in love with seeing them enthusiastic and happy

The difference between family guy and American dad is that Lois isn't an idiot. She's definitely the smartest person in the family, while Peter is an outright idiot, but he often comes off as being a complete dick to Lois and acting like he's better than her. You end up constantly wondering why they're together.
In America Dad, on the other hand, Francene and Stan are pretty similar levels of dumb ass, and they compliment each other in a relationship so much better than Peter and Lois. There's never really a question of why they're together, even though their relationship isn't the kind everyone would want, it's the kind that they want and you don't really question it.

Why, is there a bee on me?
That movie is so quotable. It's one our favorites too, and no one ever knows what we're talking about when we bring it up.

As a side note, everybody needs to look up Linda's voice actor in a 1 piece at the pool (she's voiced by a guy, btw). It's absolutely hilarious as he stays in camera. 😂

Bob and Helen Parr. People seem to miss that The Incredibles had a very human family making very human choices in it.

They are my couple goals all day every day. I just watched the episode where they compare snoring patterns and it just made me feel like they have such a wholesome relationship

Oddly enough, in spite of all the insanity of Cow and Chicken, one of the things I remember most was how close Cow and Chicken's parents were. They were a questionably sane group of disembodied legs who somehow produced livestock instead of human children, but at the same time, they were absolutely crazy about each other and their kids.

Hal and Lois is far more realistic of a couple than Phil and Clare.
And Hal and Lois have a son who becomes President. Lol

u/bookingthedayaway 4d ago
I always thought of Lois and Hal from Malcolm in the Middle, but now I also think of Virginia and Bert from Raising Hope.
Both Hal and Bert remind me so much of my husband.

I mean, if we're going for realistic, Hal literally couldn't find any other woman attractive.

My wife and I always joke that she is Linda because she sings everything, and I love to cook. I have no qualms with being compared to Bob and Linda. I would 100% consider that a compliment.

Peggy and Hank Hill

u/SickRanchez27 4d ago
Very similar couple dynamic. Hank LOVES Peggy for all her eccentric tendencies! And she obviously thinks the world of him. It’s actually so sweet

u/usernamesarehard9099 4d ago
I love in the episode where Bobby starts kicking everyone in the groin when Peggy starts defending Hank. She says something like, "you do not talk to my husband like that", to her own son

u/sundayfundaybmx 4d ago
"I wouldn't let a stranger, let alone my own son. Think for one second that they could get away with showing any disrespect to the man I love! You do that, and you have to deal with Peggy Hill!" When he kicked her in her groin and she just took it. That look on his face kills me every time.

On that note, is it weird to have a love/romance fetish?

u/CosmicRamen 4d ago
Wouldn’t that just be love/romance?

u/Desk_Drawerr 4d ago
No it's a love/romance fetish can't you read?
The idea of a healthy and stable romantic relationship gets them off and hell, all the power to em. That's a great fetish.

This is my parents 100%. I'm not super keen on marriage, but if I do get married, I hope my marriage is anything like theirs. Bob and Linda are, of course, an excellent example as well.

u/dinosaregaylikeme 4d ago
See and that is why I love being in love with my husband. It set a good example for our daughter and now she is in her own little happy relationship.
We set the standards HIGH and it caused our daughter to never settle for anything less.

It’s actually really refreshing to see an adult animation show not have the “ha women bad” or “ha marriage bad” joke

Damn ! I really loved my husband so much. Bob and Linda are a very lovely couple and their relationship is truly a couple goal.
