I think Jerry and Elaine from Seinfeld is my number 1. Theres really not to many of these. A lot of times, at least to my knowledge, a lot of friends hook up or date.

Jack/Liz for sure. The ultimate platonic TV friendship. Mary/Lou too.

Also: Leslie/Ron on Parks & Rec.

Lily and Ted from How I Met Your Mother and Lily and Barney.

Niles and Roz from Frasier they didn't like each other in the beginning and became friends which was cool to see.

Joey and Phoebe- Friends

I'd agree with Buddy and Sally as my favorite.

I'd also mention the Colonel Potter/Margaret Houlihan relationship on MASH. I enjoyed the father-daughter kind of relationship they had with one another as the series progressed.
