will they or won’t they sitcom couples
for this list we’re looking at couples
who stayed unmarried for the majority of
the show’s run however they’re still
eligible if they end up getting hitched
near the end of the series we excluded
couples like Kevin and Winnie
because the Wonder Years was considered
a comedy drama not a sitcom well there
was no question now we were entering
uncharted territory
number 10 Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly the
office Pam’s favorite flavor of yogurt
which is mixed berry Jim said mixed
berries oh yeah he’s on to me Jim and
Pam took audiences through a whirlwind
of office flirtation and for the longest
time Jim remained king of the friend
zone while Pam was perpetually engaged
to the warehouse boy do you mind if I go
out for a drink with these guys no come
on let’s get out of here go home after
years of drama the relationship was
finally set aflame let’s say that my
teeth turned to liquid and then they

dunder-mifflin allowing them to ride off
into the sunset together future mother

number nine Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt
Parks and Recreation you may hold my
fate in your hands like a small bird but
I still think you’re an ass
while this pair was initially introduced
as enemies we knew there was going to be
more to their relationship and they
turned out to be a dynamic duo with
shared interests and overlapping
expertise they’re a match made in heaven
you knew I figured I don’t wanna I’m
sorry I should have told you I knew but
I just I wanted this to last as long as
possible even though they’ve been known
to clash boy 35% it’s actually 34.2%
34.2% I am been the numbers robot the
play-by-play of their romance has been
one for the ages and we’ve loved
watching Ben and Leslie fall into mutual
love and like marry me oh yeah okay
number eight
John JD Dorian and Elliot Reid scrubs
huh guess who yeah for years they were
stuck in a cycle of dating breaking up
sleeping together rekindling breaking up
again etc by the show’s final season JD
and Elliot finally got their fairytale
ending complete with marriage and baby
on the way
scrubs may have often veered into
unexpected territory with creative plots
and wacky characters but the constant
tug-of-war between its central doctors
kept us on the edge of our seats
so can I paid you better and don’t do
the whole 2-day waiting thing Oh baby I
don’t play by the rules number seven
Sam Malone and Diane chambers Cheers
you’ve been with a lot of women no I
have not that there not been that many
how many of the things uh-oh maybe uh
for honey in a place where everybody
knows your name the ones of most concern
to us were Sam and Diane I hired you
because you’re the best combination
girlfriend waitress in the city and you
stink as a waitress bringing us on a
ride of breakups and makeups their
relationship dominated the show
storyline for the first five seasons the
mismatched pairing of a womanizing
athlete turned bartender and his
overqualified waitress was doomed from
the start
really but we loved watching their
sexual tension build and unravel a few
hundred times you disgust me
I hate are you as turned on as I am more
sure got quiet now all of a sudden I
don’t think he killed her number six
Eric Foreman and Donna pin Ciotti that
70 show it took them almost 17 years to
realize that boys and girls can’t just
be neighborly friends despite having
grown up childhood besties
Eric relax we’ve will next start of each
other forever you could have anyone else
for from season to season break up to
make up and friendship to romance
we saw les 70 sexual freedom and more of
an amusingly sarcastic association
between an effeminate man and a woman a
very strong character but we’ve never
doubted that they were made for each
other Oh have I told you how incredibly
attractive you are Eric no I told me he
was cute no I do
I remember cuz you said not to say
anything in front of Eric number five
Carrie Bradshaw and mr. big Sex and the
City
it was mr. big
major tycoon made your dream boat and
majorly out of my league I thought I saw
you on the runway
oh here’s the abridged version of their
relationship whirlwind romance turned
sour when things get too serious look I
just don’t want you to get hurt again
I won’t it’s just sex well according to
this book it is not just sex
next thing you know big is married to
another much younger woman some
ill-advised cheating on the part of
those commitment phobes is just one part
of their complete dysfunction I really
got how much I hurt you oh come on
that’s fiction fiction however they
eventually get to a place of mutual
respect and love which finally gives way
to a healthy relationship and some
unnecessary movies I freaked out for a
minute but I’m ready now
number four Niles crane and Daphne moon
Frasier he told me I could stick me feet
behind my head and spin like a talk oh
well best thing to do is just ignore him
when he gets like gasps isn’t that right
Niles Niles an odd couple pairing like
no other
he’s the snooty psychiatrist she’s the
eccentric physical therapist Niles
unabashed flirtation coupled with
Daphne’s unapologetic romantic ignorance
made us laugh every week but all along
it seemed that the awkward geek getting
the girl was too much of a distant
fantasy for Frasier writers to pull off
fortunately for Niles he does get the
girl in the end I want to marry you I
want to marry you no I want to marry you
now and who can forget their first kiss
oh for God’s sake dr. crane
I think you can call me Niles now number
three Leonard Hofstadter and penny The
Big Bang Theory penny Oh Leonard Sheldon
hi hi hi a pretty blonde moves in across
the hall from two of televisions biggest
nerds paris’ a natural laxative and I
don’t have to tell you there to get a
clean colon is just one less thing to
worry about recipe for disaster right no
it’s actually a recipe for sitcom gold
there are differences in interest have
caused surprisingly little relationship
stress Klingon boggle yeah it’s like
regular boggle but in Klingon it’s
actually Penny’s fear of commitment that
keeps these two apart the most after
seasons of teasing audiences with the
inevitable well Lenny and penny finally
settle down for the long haul save it
for your blog Howard number two Cory
Matthews and Topanga Lawrence Boy Meets
World all day you’ve hardly said a word
to me avoided eye contact and did I
imagine this or did you salute me

discipline towards Cory and Shawn as
they made a mockery of class while quiet
and brainy Topanga sat in front of them
playing teacher’s pet good luck in hell
mr. Matthews starting in grade school

one for the TV ages and we felt just as

number one Ross Geller and Rachel Greene
friends
you remember my brother Ross sure
they’re the reference point for all
on-again-off-again TV couples we are

roller coaster than their friends but
there will they or won’t they tension

how I was unfaithful to her we were on a
break
