Is there some reason why peripheral characters as love interests never last, and the principals have to keep changing partners like they're at a square dance? It's rampant - 90210, Melrose Place, Friends, ER, Dawson's Creek... Are there no original story ideas left, regardless of how large and talented your team of writers? Or is the American public into vicarious wife swapping?
Not that I don't watch, particularly on Thursday nights...
