Top Ten Couples from stage or screen

Postby ouroboros » Sat Dec 15, 2012 9:50 pm

Hope this hasn't been done before but I am into my Roseanne box set at the moment and am struck by how Dan and Roseanne are one of the truly great TV couples. So I have decided to make a list of my top ten couples from stage or screen. Some I have added for the comedic value, others for the chemistry, some cos they just 'work' and others just cos I liked them together! So here goes:

1. Frasier

Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin - enough said

2. Roseanne

Dan and Roseanne Connor - just classic

3. Six Feet Under

Keith Charles and David Fisher - I just loved them together

4. Les Miserables

The Thenardiers - they crack me up every time I see this show

5. The West Wing

Jed and Abbey Bartlet - it just worked

6. The Big Bang Theory

Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler - funny, sweet and clever

7. Boston Legal

Alan Shore and Tara Wilson - I always thought she was a great match for him

8. Friends

Monica Geller and Richard Burke - good chemistry

9. Six Feet Under

Claire Fisher and Ted Fairwell - I love how he grounded her, it just felt like true love

10. The West Wing

Josh Lyman and Amy Gardner - great chemistry

Ok that's all from me!

There is one here somewhere that I think I started but my list is probably very different now (since I don't remember what I had on the first one) so I'll have another go at it.

1. Frasier and Lilith-Frasier/Cheers
2. Josh and Donna-The West Wing
3. Carrie and Big-Sex and the City
4. Alan and Denny-Boston Legal (yeah, I know they weren't a "couple" but they were in a way)
5. Ned and Catlyn Stark-Game of Thrones
6. Crash Davis and Annie-Bull Durham
7. Tom and Lynette Scavo (first few seasons)-Desperate Housewives
8. Jed and Abby Bartlett-The West Wing
9. Bob and Emily Hartley-The Bob Newhart Show
10. Monk and Sharona-Monk (again not a traditional couple but Monk was best with her)
This is the STUPIDEST day I've ever had!

Absolutely. I'd certainly include them as one of my favourite 'couples'. i'd probably include Frasier/Lilith and Dan/Roseanne, too, but here's ten others i can think of off-hand.

Homer & Marge Simpson (The Simpsons)
Al & Peggy Bundy (Married With Children)
David Addison & Maggie Hayes (Moonlighting)
Joel Fleischman & Maggie O'Connell (Northern Exposure)
Red & Kitty Forman (That 70s Show)
Hank Moody & Karen Van Der Beek (Californication)
Seeley Booth & Temperence Brennan (Bones)
Gomez & Morticia Addams (The Addams Family)
Zack Morris & Kelly Kapowski (Saved By the Bell)
Mitchell Pritchett & Cameron Scott Tucker (Modern Family)
