My vote goes to Caroline and whoever that guy was that she was with last on the Caroline and the City (Anthony Tyler Quinn). The plug was then pulled on the show with no resolution and sank into oblivion.

I know I'm going to catch flak for this...but I never cared for Ross and Rachel. I think they were WAY overrated. Sure they were cute at first but then came the endless fighting, breaking up then making up then breaking up, etc. etc. etc. Chandler and Monica were a WAY more interesting, romantic couple.

Just my opinion...what's yours?

Ross and Rachel Friends by far the worst couple ever. No chemistry, and just unbelievable pairing. Nothing in common and Rachel would never go for someone like Ross in a million years.

Mr. & Mrs. Roper on Threes Company seemed like a pretty bad couple, they
argued all the time. She was spunky and he was kind of a grouch.

Samantha and Darrin #2. They may have been great friends offscreen but onscreen they had no chemistry whatsoever. :thumbsdow

:clap :clap :clap I agree! I didn't put them in my original post partly b/c I'm so biased toward Samantha and Darrin #1. From everything I've read, Dick Sargent was a very nice man and he was a good actor in his own right, but he was not Darrin Stephens. Dick York was and always will be THE definitive Darrin.

I agree with this completely. I'm not anti-Sargent at all; in fact, I think he was an excellent actor and I enjoyed seeing him in other roles. But I'm with you: Darrin Stephens = Dick York.

Besides Claire and Cliff Huxtable, the ones I think don't have any chemistry, are boring, or are stupid matches:

Mork & Mindy
Jesse & Becky (Full House)
Nancy & Dale (King of the Hill)
Jenny & Lionel #2 (Jeffersons)
The parents on Drake & Josh

I agree. I think Chandler and Monica are a much better couple than Ross and Rachel. Ross gets on my nerves.

I agree. I never really liked Dick Sargent I always thought that Dick York was the best Darrin. That is why I like the early episodes better.

I'm casting my vote for Michael and Stephanie of Newhart. They are both shallow and self-centered and Stephanie constantly cries when she doesn't get her way.

Although there are many I think were a bad couple, my vote for the worst is Jack Tripper and Vicky Bradford...Threes a crowd. Yuck! Those two had no chemistry.

Those two had no chemistry.I agree Vicky was a stick in the mud just like her father and while I did not want to see jack end up with an airhead type of woman I always thought that he would end up with someone more upbeat and outgoing than Vicky was

But that's why I think they're a good couple. They were made for each other.

I agree with you on Nancy and Dale. He is a complete moron and she is a beautiful career woman. He thinks that he is the father of Joseph. She should have stuck with John Redcorn

Jo/Men- She had no chemistry with guys, they weren't gonna let her date girls, then she should have remained single.

Lorelai and Christopher on Gilmore Girls


I always hated the Lorelai and Christopher thing. When they got married in Season 7 I almost threw the remote through the TV. Luke is the only one Lorelai should be married to. The only close 2nd is maybe Max, Rory's teacher from Chilton.

Al and Peg just weren't very nice to each other. Looking back I probably shouldn't have watched Married...With Children when I was young.

I agree on both counts, Monika. Ross and Rachel were cute at first but then I lost interest. And I hated the way they ended (or rather didn't end) "Caroline in the City"

Another pairing I hated was Mel Karnofsky and Niles Crane from Frasier. Even if he hadn't been paired with Daphne (which is what everyone wanted), I would have rather seen him with anyone but Mel.

You were happy when they reunited in the finale, right? :)
