MAD LOVE Starring: Jason Biggs, Sarah Chalke, Judy Greer, and Tyler Labine Created by Matt Tarses Written by Matt Tarses, Directed by Pamela Fryman Mad Love is a new romantic comedy on CBS that is quite similar to many relationship comedies over the years, but with a talented cast that could elevate the show. It centers on Ben (Jason Biggs), a lawyer looking to get out of a bad relationship and his best friend Larry (Tyler Labine). When Ben has a chance encounter with Kate (Sarah Chalke) on the Empire State Building, they instantly fall for each other and go on a date that includes Larry and Kate's friend Connie (Judy Greer), a nanny who doesn't like Larry one bit. The pilot centers on a series of misunderstandings (how sitcom-like!) between Ben and Kate before they finally get together, this time due to a not-so-chance meeting on the Empire State Building as organized by Larry and Connie. Mad Love is formulaic to a tee, it's nothing that hasn't been s...

In honor of Valentine's Day, I will be counting down the Top 10 TV couples. As always, this is based on personal opinion. 10. Kevin Arnold & Winnie Cooper (Fred Savage and Danica McKellar) - The Wonder Years Winnie Cooper was the object of Kevin Arnold's affection throughout the run of this great series even though they didn't end up together. They were childhood friends but all things changed in the pilot when they kissed in the woods, the first kiss for both of them. Winnie and Kevin both dated many other people but kept coming back to each other. In the series finale, we learned that Kevin eventually married someone else but stayed in touch with Winnie and that seemed to be a satisfying ending. It was young love, but not permanent love. Standout episodes for Kevin & Winnie: #6 "Dance with Me" (4/19/88) - Kevin is having a terrible time at a school dance and tries to make Winnie jealous but after a tender moment, they finally get their slow dance to...
