TV's Best Couple

[WillParkinson]

My vote goes to Jim Clancy and Melinda Gordon from Ghost Whisperer. They always seem so in tune with each other. Tonight we watched the episode where Melinda wanted to buy him a gift to celebrate the anniversary of their meeting. She was so sure he forgot about it. When she gave him his gift he asked her what the occasion was. She looked devastated but played it off. He told her he was playing poker with the guys and asked her if she'd get his jacket from the closet while he tried out the gift. She walked to the closet and opened it up finding her own gift inside.

The play between the two of them throughout the series was an impossible love but it was a nice love.

1. Joe and Alison Dubois in Medium.

Great family... the kids are awesome too. Sad that it is the last season :-(

[Tikki]

20. Only three more episodes...sigh..

TV will slump further with the loss of MEDIUM.

[meegbear]

17. +1

[Richard Steele]

72. OK, every idea I had was CRAP! You are CORRECT- they were the best TV couple. nm

[travelingtypist]

3. Dan and Roseanne Connor

Until the last two seasons, of course.

[thirtiesgirl]

41. +1

Me, too. I loved the Connors.

[MilesColtrane]

4. Bob and Emily Hartley

They had a "give as good as you get" relationship that just couldn't be beat.

[Richardo]

12. "We have peanut butter" "Yeah, well it's not chicky"

Bob and Emily get my vote too.

[XemaSab]

5. Mulder and Scully

:D

[thirtiesgirl]

42. +1 again

I'm a huge X-Files fan, so how can I say no? They kept me going for 10 years, waiting to see what would happen with the sexual tension.

[jobycom]

6. The Doctor and Rose Tyler.

[Tikki]

21. +1

[Love Bug]

32. Which one? #9 or #10?

[jobycom]

35. They were the same guy, duh.

One just turned into the other. Didn't you watch? :P

[Love Bug]

62. Yabbut if they're the same guy, why do they number them?

:P

[MrScorpio]

7. Lucy and Ricky

[Bucky]

8. Don Draper and whoever's around

[muffin1]

9. Joe and Mika

:hide:

[pinboy3niner]

10. Mary Richards and Lou Grant :)

Or Archie and Edith Bunker. Or Frasier and Niles Crane. Or Mork and Mindy. I can't make up my mind.

Ooh, ooh--I forgot Wilbur and Mr. Ed! :)

[charlie and algernon]

13. Jed and Abigail Bartlet

Martin Sheen and Stockard Channing had wonderful chemistry together. It's really a shame that we didn't get more episodes with them together.

[muffin1]

15. I adore Stockard Channing! Always have.

:)

[darkstar3]

79. They were awesome, and the source of one of my favorite silly fight quotes:

JED: J'accuse, mon petite fromage!

ABBEY: You speak four languages. How come none of them is French?

JED: Nothing's wrong with my French.

ABBEY: You just called me your little cheese!

[mentalsolstice]

14. Will and Grace

My favorite current couple is Tony and Ziva on NCIS.

[meegbear]

16. Helen and Stanley Roper

QED

[Parche]

18. Gorn and Kirk

:woohoo:

[bluesbassman]

34. Never saw this coming.

:spray: :rofl:

[era veteran]

19. Gracie Allen & George Burns

[whistler162]

47. Nah who would ever believe they where married.... far fetched!!

;)

[era veteran]

57. Well, how about Batman & Robin?

[Swede]

22. Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel)

from How I Met Your Mother seem like a fun couple.

[PassingFair]

23. All the couples on "Modern Family", but especially these two lovebirds:

[Love Bug]

31. Ha! You beat me to it! Love Cameron and Mitchell!

Modern Family is, IMO, the best-written sitcom on TV today.

[Iggo]

38. Cameron/ Mitchell...huh. I never noticed that before.

[guitar man]

24. Al and Peg Bundy

Sometimes art imitates life...or life imitates art. :D

[abq e streeter]

30. beat me to it--and why does it just figure that it was you?

:fistbump:

[guitar man]

33. lol

it's been a running joke for years that Lori and I are the real life Peg and Al :rofl:

[siligut]

25. I like sexual tension

Inara and Captain Reynolds, from Firefly

And


Miss Kitty and Marshall Dillon from Gunsmoke

I actually don't like powerful men always getting the pretty girl though, that is fucking irritating.

[jobycom]

36. Good picks. Mal was such an underappreciated character.

Not by fans, of course. Just in general. He had that unpredictable capacity for compassion and brutality, and you suspected he had no limits either way. Not unlike Marshall Dillon. Inara's stability was a perfect balance, and she, too, had unlimited capacities.

Damn, I miss that series. :(

[Lucian]

27. My vote goes to Mulder and Scully.

My other favorite is Sookie and Bill.

[siligut]

28. ****POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR TRUE BLOOD****

Bill and Sookie really have something, but the revelation Eric forced from Bill the end of S3, changes that, if you go by the books.

In that vein; how about Talbot and Russell? Centuries of love. We could also consider Count Dracula and Mina, again, eternal love, or at least very long love. However, they never had a TV series.

[Lucian]

29. Yeah. I know.

I read the book series.

I don't think Eric cares for Sookie. He's only using her for her "gift," her fairy blood, and for sex. I think Bill is the one Niall was talking about in Dead and Gone, when he said "The vampire is not a bad man, and he loves you." Even though Bill lied to Sookie about why he wanted to meet her and get close to her, he's usually the one that's by her side and saving her from bad stuff and risking his own unlife to do it.

[jobycom]

37. Then there's Captain Jack Harkness and, well...

[Pryderi]

39. Hardcastle and McCormick. n/t

[lunamagica]

40. Starsky & Hutch

[CBGLuthier]

43. Patsy and Edina

[smirkymonkey]

58. +100

"sweetie darling"

[thirtiesgirl]

44. Maddie Hayes and David Addison

Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis smokin' up the city with their screwball sexual tension.

[MiddleFingerMom]

46. +100

[travelingtypist]

52. I'm glad you brought this up.

Tony and Angela in Who's The Boss are in this vein as well.

Of course, neither couple worked after they did it.

[WinkyDink]

61. The episode with The Slap and "Be My (Little) Baby"? YOWZAH!

[AsahinaKimi]

45. JOEL and the Bots...

[petronius]

48. Batiatus and Lucretia (Spartacus: Blood and Sand)

Sure it's a brain-candy guts-and-boobs extravaganza and only a dozen episodes, but I'm kind of serious...

[GreenPartyVoter]

49. I'll throw Dharma and Greg into the mix.

[GoCubsGo]

50. Dan and Keith

Patrick and Olbermann. They were like an old married couple.

[Mojambo]

51. Basil and Sybil Fawlty. n/t

[csziggy]

54. Rob & Laura or Ricky & Lucy or Fred & Ethel

Roy & Dale
Jennie & Anthony
Darren/Darryl/Durwood & Samanatha
Sally & Buddy (aka Rose Marie & Morey Amsterdam)
Timmy & Lassie

I could go on & on....I can't think or *one* best couple!

[fishwax]

55. Jim and Pam

:kick:

[thirtiesgirl]

67. +1

Awww. I forgot about them, but yeah. They trump all others, imho.

[dimbear]

56. Castle and Beckett. n/t

[YankeyMCC]

59. John Crichton and Aeryn Sun

or possibly Gius Baltar and Six from the new BSG

[Iggo]

60. Baltar & Six.

That is an inspired choice.

I don't like either one of them, but you only have to look at the pain in their faces to understand the phrase Love Hurts.

[siligut]

66. BSG magic

[thirtiesgirl]

68. Pat, I'll take...

impossible and unhealthy standards of beauty for $200.

[bookworm65t]

63. Felix and Oscar

n/t

[sarge43]

64. Bunk and McNulty, The Wire

Runners up: Brother Mouzone and Omar

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20G17K_0ghU

[blue neen]

65. Sam and Diane.

...well, at least they were the funniest! :)

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

69. Alfie & Kat on Eastenders gets my vote for currently airing tv

I just can't help it, I loved the characters on their own, then when they got together...and FINALLY got married after all that crazy drama (and left the show *sob)
But now that they're back once more and in charge of the Vic, no less - I am LOVING it.

Also, I'm loving the interactions between Kim Joo Won & Gil Ra Im in Secret Garden (the current one, still airing on SBS... that is if anyone here watches Korean dramas)

What's really gripping for me in a tv series is to have opposing types of strong-willed & charismatic characters who get drawn together (the 'ole opposites attract schtick) or sometimes some sort of fateful forbidden bonding between two who should be enemies. (or are really sworn enemies...or maybe half-siblings! who we later find out have cancer! or their parents killed your parents! what about your revenge? oh no, it can never, ever be, oh WOE! *cue deafening pop lyrics and camera zooms onto character's tear-stained face, for what seems like forever, as they tremble, sob and curse their fate*)

(yeah I have seen too many Korean dramas)

[colinmom71]

70. Catherine and Vincent, "Beauty and the Beast"....

I loved that show. It had a large part in the formation of my political leanings towards Progressive-Liberalism and remains an influence even now over 20 year later. It's message of love being the guiding force in life, be that love for your mate or love for your fellow man and world, is something that I try to live by. I don't always succeed, but "to err is human"....

[RichGirl]

71. Schlemiel, schlimazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated!

Laverne and Shirley...I'm sure they were closeted lesbians.

[Rob H.]

73. Alan and Denny

Just started watching them again on DVD--I still miss Boston Legal. :(

[Tikki]

74. TV's cutest couple (now-a-days) has to be Andrew Potts and Hannah Spearritt..

CONNOR & ABBY

Tikki

[BlueIris]

75. Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall.

They had more of a "couple that never was" kind of a thing, but still. The original Mulder and Scully.

Either that or David and Keith from Six Feet Under.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

76. Kevin and Winnie

[dembotoz]

77. the avengers

what were they
steed and mrs peel?

[timtom]

78. Laura Holt and Remington Steele

[Kingofalldems]

80. Barney and Thelma Lou

[darkstar3]

81. Past: Willow and Tara

They were the perfect answer to Buffy's various relationship idiocies.

Present: Tossup between Richard and Kahlan or Marshall and Lily.

[Graybeard]

82. Toody and Muldoon.

Car 54, Where Are You? Joe E. Ross and Fred Gwynne

as the hapless NYC cops.

[phylny]

83. For me, it's a tie between

Doug and Carol from ER or Derek and Meredith from Grey's Anatomy.
