Actually, it is a lot more like Grace Under Pressure in that regard.
You know, I totally hadn't thought of that comparison. Huh. The funny thing is, I could really see Tony and John getting along well. They both do the humor-as-cover-for-depth thing. Also, they both have big man crushes on their (occasionally) crabby coworkers. (Although in Tony's case it's his boss, which would make the parallel be more John/Caldwell... or John/Elizabeth, and we're not going to go there.)

The truly sad thing is, I've even though about the type of soda. I'm leaning toward Coke, because it's dark enough to have a little bite, and still contains a pretty decent serving of caffeine. Plus, it's high on sugar, which would be a big plus in the Tony department. Where Abby loves her caffeine above all, Tony+sugar=OTP.
As for the indigo world... I can't really take credit for the idea. Do you watch this one regularly? Just in case not, there's this one episode where they spend a lot of time in a hospital, and it just may be the biggest Tony h/c fest ever. Seriously. There are tears, and threatenings of innocent scientists at gunpoint, and big drama moments. And a good deal of it is shot under this blue lighting that makes it all surreal and strange and pretty. So much love.
Hey look, you made me read two things in another fandom. Two!
