Ned & Stacey was an American sitcom that aired on the Fox Broadcasting Company network from 1995 to 1997, starring Thomas Haden Church and Debra Messing as the titular couple. The major thread of the series was that a couple were brought together in a marriage of convenience—Ned Dorsey needed to be married to get a promotion at work, while Stacey Colbert desperately needed to move out of her parents' house, and Ned had a very good apartment. Ned and Stacey often socialized with Stacey's sister, Amanda and her husband, Eric . Other recurring characters included Stacey's parents... and Ned's boss. Ned and Stacey's constant bickering slowly evolved into something resembling a romance. However, the show was cancelled before this plot could be developed further. Ned: Why Stacey? Stacey: Why Ned? Ned: It was business. Stacey: Strictly business. Ned: Here's the deal - to get a promotion, I needed a wife. Stacey: To get a life, I needed his apartment. Ned: So what the hell, we up and got married. Stacey: The only thing we have in common? We irritate each other. Ned: Right! Enjoy the show.
