Other than BtVS and Angel, which TV couples are your favourites? This could range from romantic couples, from TV dramas to comedies, animated series', coworkers, or even friends who are "coupled" together.

I was thinking about this earlier after watching the episode of The Office US when Jim and Pam get married. I love Jim and Pam! I thought their whole will they/won't they, never-the-right-time, so-meant-to-be-together was fantastic. I was willing it to be for so long. John Krasinski's portrayal of awkward funny guy, in love with the engaged receptionist was so believable. I actually cried seeing Jim happy!

Okay. Other than Jim and Pam. I love Mulder and Scully (The X-Files) for how well they play off each other, and all the "almost" moments in the TV show.

Lindsay and Tobias Fünke. Hilarious~! (Arrested Development).

Christopher and Adriana. (The Sopranos). To this day I still copy the way Adriana says "Chris-ta-fuuuur" when I'm out with my other half. Especially in busy shops. You can guess his name.

Jim Lahey and Randy. (Trailer Park Boys).

Debra Morgan and Joey Quinn. I so wanted them to work out! Blah. (Dexter).

Hank and Marie Schrader. (Breaking Bad).

Red and Kitty Foreman. (That '70s Show).

That's all I can think of at the moment!

Big thumbs up for Lindsay and Tobias :P

Lindsay and Tobias, love them, but Lucille and George or Maeby and George Michael are my faves!
Hands down the best TV couple is Eric and Tami from Friday Night Lights. It's an amazing portrayal. From start to finish it was amazing watching them play off one another.

In total agreement
Mork And Mindy. 🙂

John Crichton/Aeryn Sun from Farscape- unbelievable chemistry of all kinds- romantic, comic and sexual.
John Critchton/D'Argo: ultimate sci-fi bromance/slash ship

Sharpe and Harper's friendship from the ITV Sharpe series- very well realized version of the books.

Veronica Mars/Cindy 'Mac' Mackenzie Veronica Mars

Tim Bisley/Daisy Steiner from C4's Spaced

Joker/Harley Quinn...or Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn- I go back and forth on that one. 🙂
 
I also like Mulder and Scully
Bones and Booth - Bones
Lorelai and Luke - Gilmore Girls
Mal and Inara -Firefly
Dexter and Hannah - Dexter
 
Sam and Diane - Cheers
Daphnie and Niles - Fresier (even though I'm not a big fan of the show itself)
George and Susan - Seinfeld (even though they were destryed to fail)
Jerry and Elaine - Seinfeld
Daria and Trent - Daria
Beavis and Butthead - Beavis and Butthead
Xander and Cordelia - Buffy
Buffy and Spike - Buffy
Liz and Jack - 30 Rock
David and Maddie - Moonlighting
Kermit and Miss Piggy - The Muppet Show
 
Tyrion and Bron in Game of Thrones is the one that's coming to mind at the moment. Absolutely loved their adventures and the way they played off each other.
 
Bert and Heather Gummer from Tremors, but Heather only appeared in the movie, not the TV series. The family that slays together slays together.
 
I too am getting into Mulder and Scully

I usually chip pairings in books more than on TV though. But there's a few that I like, most are not romantic pairings

Alice and Dana (the L Word)
Lexa and Clarke (the 100)
Cosima and Delphine (Orphan Black)
The clone club in general (family bond, Orphan Black)
Amy and Lauren (sisters, Faking It)
Alanna and Margot (Hannibal)
Will and Hannibal (in a non romantic way, although much of the fandom like this pair romantically apparently)
Topher and Adele (Dollhouse, again, not romantically)
Nicky and Morello (OITNB, romantically but also as friends)
Franky and Bea (Wentworth, as rivals/friends, they had great chemistry)
Korra and Asami (Legend of Korra)
 
Corey and Topanga from Boy Meets World!
Benson and Stabler from Law and Order:SVU they're great partners without any romance.
 
I'm going to go with Keith and Veronica Mars given it doesn't have to be romantic. Together they were simply great and you could see the love and respect. Plus it is rare to see a single father/daughter relationship as good as theirs on TV.

Dale and Audrey - Twin Peaks
Hyde and Jackie - That 70's Show
