I’m a hopeless romantic at heart and I LLLLOOOVVEEEEE watching TV shows that feature some of the most adorable, loving, and iconic relationships. I kept making changes while writing this post because I would remember another couple I love and then I had to start all over. These relationships made me laugh and cry, fall in love with the characters, and put me through a lot of emotional rollercoasters. After hours of narrowing down my list, I give you My Favorite TV Show Couples EVER!!!!
10. Izzie & Alex/Jackson & April
I couldn’t pick between these two Grey’s Anatomy couples! It was just TOO HARD! The way Alex stays by Izzie’s side through the cancer and does everything he can to make her happy…TEARS! Izzie and Alex were perfect together, but sadly they both made their mistakes and I was HEARTBROKEN when Izzie left. Now on to Japril! They only had each other after the shooting and their friendship was so cute! I wanted them to get together SOOOO BAD and it finally happened! Then April had to get all weird and leave. Then she came back, they both dated other people (I was annoyed), and finally they came back together. They even had the most adorable little BABY!!! Annnddd then they were broken up for good… Shonda Rhimes likes to hurt my feelings.
9. Pacey & Joey
Little Courtney loved this amazingly AWESOME couple with all her heart! Thank God my girl Joey didn’t end up with that annoying whiny baby Dawson. (He was the worst.) We were blessed to see this these relationship transpire. Again this couple puts met through a lot with their ups and downs but in the end they are together and everything is right in the world. HAHAHAHA Dawson you lost! (I’m a bit petty when it comes to him.)
8. Buffy & Spike
Yes, I loved Buffy and Angel…but I secretly always wanted Buffy and Spike together! Joss Wheadon teased this relationship for FAR TOO LONG until finally giving me what I want. I love me a bad boy…at least on TV. Spike is a bad ass and under all that bravado was a truly wonderful, tender man. Also…he was fine. Buffy kind of annoyed me with her initial refusal to accept her feelings for him, but thankfully she gets over that (kind of). They just fit so well together. Spike brought out a different side of Buffy and vice versa. I wish we could’ve seen more romance between them, but (sigh) Spike just had to sacrifice himself to save everyone.
7. Jackie & Hyde
Another unlikely couple that sent my heart a flutter every time they were on my TV. Jackie’s overly dramatic personality surprisingly works well with Hyde’s “I don’t give a f***” attitude. After Hyde took Jackie to prom early on in the series I knew that wasn’t the last time we would see them together. I think they never loved anyone else as much as they loved each other. Forget about Kelso. As usual these writers want to break me apart until I’m nothing, so they broke up my favorite couple from That 70’s Show. How could they do that to me??? WHY??? WHHHHYYYYY!!!????? THEY BELONG TOGETHER!!!! 6. Elena & Damon
AHHHHH YYESSSS!!! Who cares about Stefan? NOT ME! Damon will always be better out of the two! Thank God, Elena chose Damon! He accepted Elena for who she was and never tried to change her. And although Damon made some mistakes, no one could love as hard as he did. Damon’s heart is so big and beautiful and Elena was blessed to get even a little bit of that sexy man! UH there are so many beautiful and cute moments between them in The Vampire Diaries, but one of my favorite moments was when they were dancing dancing together at a ball during season three. The passion and love they have is all consuming and anyone that says Stefan is the better choice for Elena is dumb. Sorry not sorry. 5. Cristina & Burke
Who didn’t love this intelligent, stubborn, intense, and (in the end) tragic couple?! They’re both extremely driven and ambitious. They always think their way is the best way and that definitely caused some tension between them. Burke was the best teacher Cristina could’ve had, but they both sadly realized Cristina couldn’t be the little housewife he honestly wanted. However, this couple had some great times together and that’s why they are one of my favorite couples! I love how they push each other out of their comfort zones! They were equals on almost every level! But..again…Shonda Rhimes hates me and broke up this love affair. I still wish they ended up together…even though I understand that they weren’t what the other one needed at the time of their engagement. (cue sad face)
4. Rory & Jess
Why do I continue to pine over couples that don’t end up together? Because apparently I like to torture myself. This was another couple that challenged one another and related to each other in many ways. The build up to their relationship was AAGGGOOONNIIZZIINGGG! Rory fought so hard against her attraction to Jess because of her relationship with Dean, but true love will always triumph. (At least for a little while in this case.) Jess and Rory gave me all the feels and were my sarcastic couple goals. The fact that they didn’t end up together in the Gilmore Girls reboot was…upsetting to say the least. They deserve better! 3. Leslie & Ben
Oh yes. This is a good one. When I tell ya’ll I LOVE THIS COUPLE…(crying) they are every type of relationship goal. Like…they are PERFECT! They are both extremely nerdy in their own ways! They are quirky as hell! They are hilarious! They are everything amazing in the world! They are love! One of my favorite moments is when they get married in the Parks and Rec office surrounded by all their closest friends. Leslie found the perfect counterpoint to her overpowering personality. I love that they can just be themselves and have fun with each other. They make me so ridiculously happy!2. Dwayne & Whitley
I had to give ya’ll a little throwback to one of the greatest love stories on TV! Just thinking of that seen where Whitley is about to marry Byron and Dwayne comes in and asks her to marry him instead!! (I’m forreal tearing up.) This on-and-off again relationship put me through it, but it was all worth it. Dwayne calmed the crazy waves of eccentricity that is Whitley and Whitley motivated Dwayne to strive for greatness. And (obviously) they were hilarious to watch on TV. Another couple we didn’t deserve, but to THANK THE TV GODS we got em’!1. April & Andy
This couple brings so much joy, love, sunshine, and laughter to my soul! Andy is the guy that sees the bright side of everything and is basically like a sweet puppy. April is a dark soul who seems to hate everything (but she doesn’t) and is like the grumpy cat that wants nothing to do with anyone. You would never expect them to click so well together…but in fact…THEY DO! April never makes Andy feel dumb or insecure and Andy makes sure April feels loved and accepted at all times. Once April started crushing on Andy, you saw a softer side to the Queen of Darkness and it made me love her more. Also…they are SOOOO freakin’ funny! They make everything better! They make me happy in every way possible! I love every single scene of them in Parks and Rec! My favorite moments are when they are role playing as Burt Macklin and Janet Snakehole.
