TV Stars Reveal Their Favorite TV Couples

CHIP AND JOANNA GAINES, HGTV'S FIXER UPPER

Claire Coffee, Grimm: "That's my favorite TV couple, because they're so charming. I'm going through my own home renovation, and their dynamic of when s—t hits the fan, they're just zany and silly and funny. They give great home reno."

JOEY AND PACEY, DAWSON'S CREEK

Camilla Luddington, Grey's Anatomy: "I started watching the show when I was in my early teen years so it was the perfect age to get completely emotionally invested in every break-up (a cry-and-lock-myself-in-my-bedroom situation) and make-up (dramatic teenage faint) that happened between them. It wasn't until the finale that I actually breathed a sigh of relief that, 'Yes!' They had made it."

JACK AND NORMA, THE WONDER YEARS

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Mercy Street: "They were just so real to me. That was one of the first shows that I watched where I really felt like I saw life being reflected back in a way that just resonated with me so much. I was watching reruns... when I was a teenager, and I was really struck by that. The parents were depicted in such a sweet, real way. They didn't always get along, and it wasn't always perfect, but they really felt like my parents."

3. THE X-FILES (1993-2002, 2016)

It brought geeky sci-fi into the mainstream (topping 20 million viewers at times), it originated the concept of "shipping" with Mulder and Scully (really, look it up), and its dense alien mythology blazed a trail for serialized dramas like Lost to follow. Plus, it was damn good TV. This year's revival might have disappointed some fans, but enduring love for The X-Files, like the truth, is always out there.

ABBI AND ILANA, BROAD CITY

Joey Pollari, American Crime: "The best partnership there is. That truly counts as love. [Laughs] Putting up with your friend's s—t and embarrassment. That's what true love is to me."

CAROL AND DOUG, ER

Nick Gehlfuss, Chicago Med: "Maybe I'm biased, but I really did love [George] Clooney and [Julianna] Margulies on ER. I loved watching them. I thought they were so good. They did a brilliant job. They had great chemistry."

SHELDON AND AMY, THE BIG BANG THEORY

Danielle Panabaker, The Flash: "I do kind of love Sheldon and Amy — because Sheldon is a fascinating character, and she is an incredibly patient partner!"

MICHAEL AND HOLLY, THE OFFICE

Nick Santora, Scorpion executive producer: "Mine is a tie. It's either Ralph and Alice Kramden [from The Honeymooners] or Michael Scott and Holly. The reason is the same for both: Here's this very flawed man — in both of those scenarios — whether he be insecure, boisterous, unsure of himself, poor. Whatever his issues might be, he still is able to find love in the most perfect, beautiful woman for him. Ralph and Michael are two of my favorite characters, honestly, in the history of any type of medium. The fact that they both found true love is fantastic."

FLORIDA AND JAMES, GOOD TIMES

Joshua Malina, Scandal: "I loved this show as a kid, and even though it was a sitcom, it was a pretty honest portrayal of parents dealing with the struggles of raising kids in a tough environment. Florida and James were in it together. We were a bit crushed at my house when James died."

OLIVIA AND PETER, FRINGE

Rebecca Mader, Once Upon a Time: "I'm a sucker for sci-fi and a happy ending. Also, I was such a huge fan of the show and was thrilled to have been a part of it in my own small way."

LUCY AND RICKY, I LOVE LUCY

Julie Benz, Hawaii Five-0: "Because no matter what wacky trouble Lucy got into, Ricky always loved her! That is true love."

Charlotte Ross, Arrow: "[Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz] fell in love at first sight, and as Desi said once, 'We would fight furiously and love furiously.' That's a kind of deep passion we can only wish for."

JIM AND PAM, THE OFFICE

Bridget Regan, Marvel's Agent Carter: "They had the most realistic yet most romantic TV relationship ever! There's not a moment you don't believe Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski's total goofball love for each other."

Skyler Samuels, Scream Queens: "I wept at the end of the last episode. That love story gets me every time."

SAM AND DIANE, CHEERS

Aaron Korsh, Suits executive producer: "They were two incredible actors on an incredibly written show. They had passion. They drove each other crazy. They were so funny. They were just the perfect television couple in terms of entertainment value."

Nick Wootton, Scorpion executive producer: "They were the perfect opposites-attract couple, and there was so much that they could do — and did — with that relationship. He was the lunkhead, and she was brilliant, and when you have those kinds of opposites, you can really mine it forever."

ROSS AND RACHEL, FRIENDS

Bellamy Young, Scandal: "I lived for that, just because the pain was so sweet — the agonizing pain. You get them together, they'd be torn apart, then they'd get back together. It was just so well done. I watched every frame. I didn't miss a moment. I was in."

Sophie Turner, Game of Thrones: "They're just destined to be together. They're just beautiful. I love everything about them."

ERIC AND TAMI, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Bree Turner, Grimm: "I honestly would watch Friday Night Lights, and it would be the equivalent of going to couples' therapy. If we could just do what Coach T. and Tami Taylor do.... Their chemistry together on screen is unmatched. They support each other, they challenge each other. They were a partnership 'til the end."

Sam Richardson, Veep: "It feels like the most realistic depiction of a couple on TV. They fight. They affect each other, but they care about each other so much."

Stella Maeve, The Magicians: "I just think they were partners and teammates. I admire that."
