Tom?s peculiar speech patterns and bumbling comportment sweetly complement Alison?s cheery aloofness. Despite the cosmic forces seeking to drive them apart?including law enforcement, rude waiters, unrequited loves, petty criminals, and Alison?s overbearing parents?Tom and Alison nobly weather ludicrous circumstances as they blunder into life together and emerge all the more lovable for it. The complete collection includes all three seasons of this award-winning comedy seen on public television.
