normal looking wife/husband in sitcoms?
First one that came to mind was Roseanne.

Not sure if it counts as a sitcom Freaks and Geeks

Jay & Gloria in Modern Family. This is "normal", right?

So for the purposes of this thread, you intended the word "normal" to mean morbidly obese?

Unfortunately, in this country that's pretty normal.

Friday Night Lights

Eric and Tami Taylor.....Not only are they great actors, but they play the normal non-glamorous Southwest couple perfectly. Although I do think Connie Britton is smoking hot.

Modern Family

Phil and Claire Dunphy....Julie Bowen is hot, but I do think she and Ty Burrell look like your average husband and wife in LA.

Ah, come on people. You just don't get any more normal-looking than these two:

It doesn't get more normal than a closeted husband and his wife with crabs.

I thought Mad About You had a pretty normal looking couple with Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt.
