Best Relationship on TV

Last night I discovered a great truth. The best relationship on television is on the MTV show Rob & Big.

Before you laugh look at all the "truths" the pairing of Rob Dydrek and Christopher "Big Black" Boykins represent:

1. Opposites attract- Rob is a skinny, white male who enjoys skateboarding and pranks while Big Black is an double plus-sized black man, whose job is to protect Rob for a living... Rob makes most of his money on merchandising and Big finally got into the merchandising game to help pad his money...

2. They are considerate of each other- WHen Big and another of his plus-size friend could no longer ride in the front of their SUV together because there wasn't enough room, Rob purchased a new, larger truck. And when Big complained that Rob didn't know what it meant to be a big man, Rob walked in his shirt, pants and shoes (literally) for a day by donning a fat suit that put Tyra Banks to shame. After experiencing the stares and the exhaustion that comes with doing menial tasks, Rob showed his appreciation of Big's trials by installing a lush toilet that accomodated the big man better than a regular size toilet.

3. They support each other- Big is your typical cut-and-dry guy who deals with the world as it is presented and does what it takes to fix a problem in a practical matter. Rob, on the other hand, is a dreamer, he's on the edge and wants to try new things that are more often than not outlandish, but Big goes along with every scheme Rob wants to try to fix an easy solution. Blow a lot of money on the lotto, because you've had a dream that you'll win, sure why not. Hire a demonologist because you think a statue is haunted. Go right ahead. In the end, you really just need an exterminator and Big's right there to call.

4. They want nothing but the best for each other- When Rob was having problems finding a girl, Big honestly told him he needed to date a different type of girl. And proceeded to do a dating search for his roommate. Now, Rob rigged the search, and in the end was left with the same disappointment that he had after his other dates, but at least his friend loved him enough to be honest and help him do something about his problem.

5. You can feel the love between them- Whenever you watch the show, you can tell love is present. Their family and friends visit regularly, and Rob's cousin/personal assistant Drama also stays with the duo. Now, how many people do you know visit people with crappy relationships. No one wants to hang around a fighting couple and you never see these two fight. Their adventures are entertaining and you can't wait to see what else they will discover together.

Yes, I know Rob & Big is mostly staged, but it is by far the best relationship that I have seen on television in the past year. I'm sad that the season will end (has ended but I haven't seen the episode yet..) after Big becomes a father, but I enjoyed watching his and Rob's relationship strengthen through the years but as they say, all good things come to an end.
