TV’s Best Non-Couples
March 21, 2006 by Gayla McCord
MSNBC started this topic by listing the top 5 non-couples in television.
The five they list are:
Pam and Jim, “The Office”
Ross and Rachel, “Friends”
Will and Grace, “Will & Grace”
Maddie and Dave, “Moonlighting”
Simon and Paula, “American Idol”
A few others that found themselves listed on their poll were:
George and Bailey, “Grey’s Anatomy”
Mulder and Scully, “The X-Files”
Grissom and Sara, “CSI”
Ted and Robin, “How I Met Your Mother”
Gabrielle and John, “Desperate Housewives”
Sawyer and Kate, “Lost”
Jack and Samantha, “Without a Trace”
So who’s missing from this list? Have a favorite television non-couple? Tell us who they are and why.
Me? I’d have to say Charlie and Rose on Two and a Half Men.
Actually a few of those listed eventually were couples, as in Ross and Rachel, Friends new best and ended the show with them back together. They didn’t want their fans raving as the show went off the air.
You’re right! I was very glad they ended it that way!
Too – there are couples that used to be couples that went back to friends and there’s that constant tension between them – like Samantha and Jack on Without a Trace.
Those are the one’s that drive me nuts!
