10:00 Rules Of Engagement
Rules Of Engagement. Season 2, Episode 11. Jen At Work. When I sing the praises of this show, I always sing the praises of Patrick Warburton. No wonder. He is über-cool. It started when he was on Seinfeld, but he cemented it when he went on to The Tick and The Venture Brothers. His performance as Jeff on this show cracks me up. Especially in this episode, easily the best episode in the series so far, when Jeff gets a great storyline about his and Audrey's attempted to have a child. Warburnton is hilarious, and his every line of dialogue had me in stitches.
But, in singing the praises of Warburton I tend to overlook the rest of the cast. Megyn Price is a perfect foil for him and their chemistry is one of the best things about the show. I love their (imperfect) marriage and they way she deals with his more idiotic tendencies. I guess, as an idiotic male myself, I take comfort from the fact that there are women as hot as Audrey who can tolderate/endure our stupidity and - in fact - love us depsite it. Jeff is clearly inept at most things needed to sustain a healthy marriage, but Audrey clearly loves him and sees past his faults. Price is as strong a screen presence as Warburton and he never blows her off-screen with his delivery/antics. It was inspired casting.
