Favorite and Least Favorite TV Couples? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

HauntedThunderman94 · 12-23-2014, 02:03 AM

Are there TV couples who make you swoon while others make you reach for your remote! Are there pairings who you thought had great chemistry as friends who turned out to disappoint you as a couple or, conversely, couples you wouldn't have expected to care about who you ended up adoring?

Mike and Carol ( Brady Bunch) - Perfect marriage, he treated her like a queen.
Lucy and Ricky ( I love Lucy)
Fred And Ethel (I love Lucy) - I loved how he called her "Honey Bunch"
Wilbur and Carol Post ( Mr. Ed)
Oliver and Lisa Douglas (Green Acres)
Steve and Betty Jo Elliott ( Petticoat Junction)
Fred and Wilma Flintstone
George and Martha Wilson ( Dennis the Menace)
Henry and Alice Mitchell ( Dennis the menace)

Least favorite
Raymond and Debra Barone ( he's OK, but I can't stand that witch Debra)
Ralph and Alice Cramden ( I like both of them but as far as a good marriage goes, poor Alice was stuck with a man yelling in her face all the time and a very small rundown dump of an apartment )

That's generally why I have not enjoyed the "Classic 39" of The Honeymooners as much as I thought I would. Not that it doesn't have its place in television history, but I thought that when I purchased it, it would be for me the riot that it had been for the longest time remembered as-- not so for me.
