This was hard for me because it came to

James/J.J

Mr. Roper/Jack Tripper

Both of these combinations only lasted 2 years but i will have to say it's a tie. These two combinations are powerful to me.

Without a doubt...

Jack Tripper and Mr. Roper

Balki & Larry. Those two had great chemistry together.
