Earlier this week, my friends on our morning show, Kristin and Steve asked listeners who were their favorite TV couples? They got some great responses. Steve said Dan and Roseanne on "Roseanne," while Kristin loved Al and Peg Bundy from "Married with Children." (Click here to check out their podcast.)
The conversation got me thinking about all of the couples who I never bought as believable. I can instantly think of MANY couples who probably would never have gotten together, and a bunch more who probably would have killed each other in real life. Here's my list:
Unlikely Pairs (AKA "She's way out of his league.")
Doug and Carrie - King of Queens
Bob and Emily - The Bob Newhart Show
Ross and Rachel - Friends
Frank and Margaret(Hot Lips) - M*A*S*H*
Darren and Samantha - Bewitched
Fred and Wilma - The Flintstones
Walt and Skyler - Breaking Bad
Larry and Cheryl - Curb Your Enthusiasm
Why Would she STAY with HIM?
Mr. and Mrs. Roper - Three's Company
Archie and Edith - All in the Family
Ralph and Alice - the Honeymooners
Tony and Carmella - The Sopranos
George and Louise - The Jeffersons
On the Flip Side... Great Chemistry (despite the ups and downs)
Sam and Diane- Cheers
Ray and Debra - Everybody Love Raymond
Jim and Pam - The Office
Rob and Laura - The Dick Van Dyke Show
Lucy and Ricky - I Love Lucy
