Me, too!!

I have to say the whole cast of Friends. Not only were they friends on screen, they got along great off-screen, too.

James · 07-06-2008, 02:39 PM

On: Fred Savage and Danica McKellar (Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper)

Off: I would say Barry Williams and Maureen McCormick as much as I admire them, but a special on The Brady Bunch not long ago focused way too much on that aspect, to the point of making the special one-dimensional.

This is really easy.

Onscreen and off

Joe Lando and Jane Seymour as Sully and Michaela on Dr. Quinn. Holy cow! They were smoking onscreen together! They dated for a short time during the filming of the Pilot of Dr. Quinn. Obviously it didn't work out but they are the best of friends now and see each other all the time. Their families hang out together. They are one big, happy family. It is awesome to see. Hopefully we will see them together again in something else soon. Maybe Jane's new series Dear Prudence. I can never get enough of Jane and Joe together onscreen. I can't describe it, they are hot!

Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall as John and Marlena on Days of our Lives. Their chemistry onscreen is out of this world! They are the best of friends in real life and love spending time together.

Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman. They had awesome onscreen chemistry as Jeannie and Tony on I Dream of Jeannie. Larry and Barbara are the best of friends in real life. Although they don't get to see each other as often as they should they always have good things to say about each other. Hopefully they will do something together again soon. They were in Dallas together so anything is possible.

Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad. They were great together on The Cosby Show as Cliff and Clair. I know that Bill and Phylicia are friends in real life as well.

John Ritter and Katey Sagal on 8 Simple Rules as Paul and Cate. John Ritter is fiercely missed by a great many people, including Katey. John and Katey's chemistry was real. They really acted married. John Ritter was a great person in real life and was best friends with everyone he worked with. It was sad to see him go. I also liked his onscreen chemistry with Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers on Three's Company. We luv ya, John and miss you dearly.

Onscreen only

Peri Gilpin and Kelsey Grammer as Roz and Frasier on Frasier.
James Avery and Janet Hubert as Phil and Vivian on Fresh Prince.
John Stamos and Lori Loughlin as Jesse and Rebecca on Full House.
Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson as Tim and Jill on Home Improvement.
Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton as Ray and Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond.
Brad Garrett and Monica Horan as Robert and Amy on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Onscreen parent and children chemistry

Jane Seymour with Shawn Toovey, Erika Flores, Chad Allen and the Calabrese triplets (who played Katie) on Dr. Quinn. The way she was with them onscreen was a treat. You really believed that she was the mother of these children. The children treated her as a mother. It was believable. They were very close on the set when they worked together. It made it a lot easier. Jane was close with everyone on the set, especially the children she worked with. I didn't put Jessica Bowman on the list because, even though I liked her, she didn't have the believable chemistry with Jane that Erika did. She is a great actress and did a good job with what she had, but she wasn't Erika. She worked hard and gave her Colleen a different personality than Erika. You gotta give Jessica credit.
I watched a clip on a Dr. Quinn website, and it showed how much Jane loved working with the Calabrese triplets as Katie. She was always holding and playing with them even when they weren't shooting.
Joe was the same way. You could see the chemistry he had with the kids onscreen and off. I loved the way Joe was with Katie onscreen. He was so sweet with her and looked like a real dad to her. Joe was just a big teddy bear.

Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad with Sabrina Labeauf, Lisa Bonet, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Tempestt Bledsoe, and Keisha Knight Pulliam. They acted like real parents to the kids onscreen and off. You watched them and it was believable. All the kids (except Lisa Bonet) had great respect for Bill Cosby and it showed onscreen.

Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson with Zachary Ty Bryan, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and Taran Noah Smith. They looked so believable as a family onscreen. It was real.

Jane Seymour and Georgann Johnson as Dr. Michaela Quinn and Elizabeth Quinn on Dr. Quinn. They were believable as mother and daughter. They had this onscreen chemistry and even resembled each other which made it even more believable. Their characters were alike in so many ways, it was scary. Georgann Johnson was my favorite Elizabeth Quinn.

I will add more later, I have so many.

I definitely agree with John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt. They and their characters worked extremely well together.

I'm also going to throw in Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes from Will and Grace. Everytime they got together I couldn't stop laughing.

Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey when they were on weekend update, SNL together.
