| Ned & Stacey | comment |
Ned & Stacey was an American sitcom airing on Fox Broadcasting Company network from 1995 to 1997.It starred Thomas Haden Church as obsessive-compulsive advertising executive Ned Dorsey and Debra Messing as beautiful, red-haired journalist Stacey Colbert Dorsey. Also in the cast were Nadia Dajani as Stacey's sister Amanda Moyer and Greg Germann as Amanda's husband Eric, who was also Ned's best friend.The plot is basically that both Ned and Stacey were brought together in a Marriage of Convenience: Ned needed to be married in order to get a promotion and Stacey wanted to move out of her parents’ house and Ned had the perfect apartment.At first, Ned and Stacey bickered a lot, which slowly progressed into something resembling a romance, but the show was cancelled before their relationship could be further developed.Not to be confused with Gavin & Stacey. | |

Cannot Tell a Joke | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_135c6de7 | comment |
Cannot Tell a Joke/Don't Explain the Joke: In Eric's speech about the firm's work on an ad campaign for an ice cream company, he makes a quip about how they "even worked on Sundays (sundaes)". No one gets it, and only one person laughs (at Amanda's insistence) when he explains it. | |

Conflicting Loyalty | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_14c791fb | comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: In one episode Stacey gets a lead on one of Ned's clients, an ice cream company responsible for serious environmental damage. Stacey ends up writing and submitting the article over Ned's objection, but it's worth noting that she did consult him before making the decision to investigate them. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: An inadvertent example. In the pilot, Ned cracks a joke about being “wingless.” Thomas Haden Church had left the show Wings in order to do this series. Creator Michael J. Weithorn admitted that while the reference was not intentional, he understood why many thought it was and had no issue with them interpreting it that way. | |

Mistaken for Gay | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_561dab6b | comment |
Mistaken for Gay: One of Ned's clients deduces that Ned and Stacey have a sham marriage and makes a natural if erroneous guess as to why. This is a problem for Ned because the client actually is gay and out, and isn't happy about his ad rep living a lie. | |

Losing Your Head | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_62cae28a | comment |
Losing Your Head: One commercial being pitched by Ned has a basketball player attempting a free throw from half court, but misses. With the clock still running, he pulls off his head and uses it instead, making the basket. The Tag Line is "Don't Quit When You're Ahead." | |

Pair the Spares | |
| Ned & Stacey / int_707bb8ce | comment |
Pair the Spares: Stacey's parents stop by to make a phone call the same night that Ned is at home with Veronica, his Girl of the Week. Ned attempts to sneak Veronica out of the apartment but is interrupted when Stacey arrives home with Neil, her date at the same time. Thinking quickly, Ned introduces Neil and Veronica as their friends and forces them to pose as a married couple for the rest of the evening. They end up Becoming the Mask, though whether or not the relationship lasted after that episode is unknown. | |

Bad "Bad Acting": Alexa Miroslav. She has one line in a car commercial - "Hey stranger, what took you so long?" - and manages to deliver it with every obviously inappropriate emotion you can imagine. Only when she's looking directly at her crush Eric does she get it right. | |
