Greatest TV Couples, Ranked By How Iconic They Are

Good, heartwarming TV couples and their chemistry, among other things, are usually the recipe for success for any sitcom. Over the years, we’ve witnessed several such feel-good romances that we keep going back to. Here is a list of the most incredible, most iconic TV couples of all time who’ve stood the test of time and grown together.

1. Lucy and Ricky (I Love Lucy): Charismatic, loving characters played by real husband and wife- Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz made audiences swoon. The back and forth between their differing views and bickering left some confused. But Ricky’s “how couldn’t I love her?” attitude saved the episodes each time.

2. Ross and Rachel (Friends): Arguably, the most legendary will-they-won’t-they couple is Ross and Rachel. Although they were not officially together most times during the show, they undoubtedly went through a lot together.

3. George and Louise (The Jeffersons): They were a lovable, charming center for the show with a successful marriage. However, the show made a radical ripple by depicting this black couple against a luxurious background and rich characters, which was relatively uncommon.

4. Mike and Carol (The Brady Bunch): Mike and Carol are best remembered for  the love with which they raised their kids together. Their dynamic revolved around their blended family and stepkids.

5. Jim and Pam (The Office): The classic office romance was comforting to watch where the simplest of moments made the audience go “aww!”.

7. Florida and James (Good Times): “Good Times” was quite a revolution depicting the lives of an African American couple. The show was warm and took us through the love, laughs, and struggles in the life of an ordinary couple.

8. Homer and Marge (The Simpsons): Homer and Marge’s bickering, laughs, and shared love struck a chord with the viewers. While the show remains a cult classic for its borderline eerie script, the couple’s strong love found a place in everyone’s heart.
