This list of current TV couples features romantic pairs who are together now and the absolute best. The top TV couples of 2017 spark our imagination and make the work week shorter. They keep fans tuning in to see what's next. We believe in them as they go through the ups and downs of a relationship. TV writers build tension by slowly pulling two characters together - it's maddening, but gratifying when it pays off. A series lets relationships develop and encounter obstacles. On TV, you can date your co-worker, break up their current relationship, and show up at the worst possible time. Some couples, like Booth and Brennan on Bones, seem unsinkable, but you never know what's brewing in a writer's room. Do you prefer a slow burn or a quick romance with lots of breakups and makeups? Are love triangles intriguing? Do you like TV couples to last over seasons or run their course? Maybe it's a mix. What makes good chemistry between TV's best couples? Is it bitterness, sweetness, overcoming demons, or fighting an outside threat? It's hard to predict how viewers will rate a TV couple. If they move too quickly, viewers may not invest. Making them wait too long is frustrating. Casting, acting, and direction are important, but writing can make or break a couple. TV relationships are as fragile as real ones. Who are you rooting for? Ichabod and Abbie? Penny and Leonard? Jake and Olivia? Is it time for Carol and Daryl to shine? Or will Mindy and Danny take the crown? Upvote your favorites and see who reigns supreme.
