A Mayfield Heights couple appeared Thursday night on “The Marriage Ref” on WKYC-TV 3.

Theresa Argie said she and her husband John were contacted by the show’s casting when they saw her profile online and inquired about how her ghosthunting affected her marriage.

“I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to get the word out about my paranormal investigating,” Argie said.

“Maybe reaching some folks who have (needed) help (in the paranormal sense). Just bringing this once taboo topic out into the mainstream.”

“It’s been quite a ride, but I honestly believe that the whole experience has brought us closer together as a couple. I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Argie said.

Coming up Thursday on NBC, “The Marriage Ref” has its first gay couple – two guys from Tampa who are at odds over a life-size Betty Boop statue.

David Salinero thinks Betty is the bomb and wants to keep her in their kitchen.

His partner Michael Wigh says the 5-foot tall replica of the cartoon icon must go.

Salinero, 44, is a managing editor at Price Waterhouse Coopers and Wigh, 46, is a corporate trainer at Progressive Insurance. Both are Tampa area natives.

They have been together for more than six years and were married in California in 2008 when it was legal there.

Salinero says they were contacted last year by a producer from “The Marriage Ref” who saw their four-minute wedding video on YouTube.

At first, Salinero didn’t think of any major disputes to take to “The Marriage Ref” but the issue over Betty had been brewing for sometime.

A film crew visited their home earlier this year to get footage of the Betty Boop artifact, which stands about 5 feet tall. The couple recently went to New York to tape their segment.

NBC got Jerry Seinfeld back onto television again this season — and the network definitely wants to keep him around.

Yes, it is more as a producer than a performer; but Mr. Seinfeld’s new show “The Marriage Ref” has helped save NBC from a precarious situation it found itself in and NBC is thanking the star by making it official Monday that the comedy marriage advice show will be back for a second season.

Paul Telegdy, the executive in charge of reality programming for NBC, made the announcement Monday, ordering three more episodes of “The Marriage Ref” for this season and 10 more (at least) for next season.
