Alison is always reaching over Joe in the middle of the night to place a call and there's frequently a call from work first thing in the morning. Let Joe try to sleep a little! Move the phone! Or, better yet, Joe and Alison should switch sides. I've noticed that Joe likes to fall asleep on his left side and then reaches behind him to make contact with Alison. If he was on the other side of the bed, he could face her and hug her more easily.
shareI am soooo with you! That is something I've been wondering about since I started going thru all the shows on Netflix. I mean, how dumb is it to leave the phone on his side - or, for that matter, why even allow Devalos and Scanlon to call on the home phone...they should only call on the cell. They were always saying "ssshh, don't let it wake the kids" so, duh! Use the cell.
shareI agree also. I posted about this very issue several years and it was deleted when the bots come through and delete old messages. It's very annoying and so unrealistic. Nobody I know reaches across their bed partner every night to get the phone. It's so silly the first time and just dumb each subsequent time.

Along those lines, I just saw the episode where they try sleeping apart so that Joe can catch up on his sleep. It seems funny to me that every time Alison wakes up, she expects Joe to be there so she can wake him up, too. I try not to disturb my partner if I'm awake in the middle of the night.
shareI noticed that too, it's quite ridiculous. Has Joe ever even got a call? It's like Robin getting the only room with the window where you can see the bat signal.

...just as breakfast time had it's theme with kids who needed pushing along at each step (did these people even know how to parent????).
Ha ha! That would have been awesome!
shareI used to watch this when it was on Television and can't remember thinking this at the time. But now that I'm re-watching these episodes on Netflix I keep wondering the same thing, why didn't they move the phone to Alison's side of the bed, or at the very least, charge the phone during the day and at night take it off the charger and put it on Alison's nightstand. No need to constantly wake Joe every night...poor guy!
