1''Perfect Couples'' is an Creator/{{NBC}} SitCom focusing on three not-so-perfect couples: Dave and Julia (Creator/ChristineWoods) (the [[StraightMan normal]] couple), Vance and Amy (the [[ManChild childish]], [[BelligerentSexualTension passionate]] couple), and Rex and Leigh (the new-agey, StepfordSmiler couple). The three couples are linked together by Julia and Rex being siblings and Dave and Vance being friends from childhood. Basically, it's three {{Dom Com}}s for the price of one.

5!!Tropes include:
6* TheAlcoholic: Rex
7* BitchInSheepsClothing: Leigh
8* HappilyMarried: Dave and Julia
9* HenpeckedHusband: Rex
10* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All the episodes save the pilot are titled "Perfect (something)".
11* JerkAss: Rex
12* ManChild: Vance and Amy are both basically overgrown teenagers.
13** This sort of comes back to bite them when they realize they need someone sane in the relationship. Because they ''both'' left each other at alter.
14* SickeninglySweethearts: Rex and Leigh try to be this trope, but it's largely a pretense.
