Most Memorable TV Couples

We all have our favorites, and one's we will never forget, we also have the ones that drove us crazy, and that we couldn't stand. I'm talking about TV couples, of course, you know those genius pairings on TV, when you can really think while most two people are married, or those two are best friends, then the writers and the actors have all done their jobs. Here are my picks, for the most memorable TV couples.

Ricky and Lucy Ricardo
Lucy and Ricky, were the primary married couple and I Love Lucy. Lucy was always getting into trouble, and doing things to generally annoy Ricky, and even though sometimes he threatened spank her, which I guess in those days was acceptable, they always proved by the end of the episode, how much they really loved each other. I love Lucy continues to be, one of those funny sitcoms, that will live on forever, and so will the loving marriage of Ricky and Lucy.

Mike and Carol Brady
The Brady Bunch was a bit of a cheesy show, but it showed us the kind of perfect family life, we all want to have. A big part of that were the parents, Mike and Carol Brady, they always had time to listen to their kids, dispensed advice, and could solve the problem within thirty minutes. They were always kind to each other, you would never hear them be angry, and Carol was always there to support, whatever Mike had to say. Of course, no marriage is like that, but it is fun to watch this couple together. Their relationship, along with their show, will continue to be popular with kids worldwide.

Cliff and Claire Huxtable
The Huxtable family, was pretty close to what a real family would be like, I remember hearing things that the parents would say, and thinking " my mom has said that to me before". There is a lot of emphasis put on the kids, but the show also has one of the best TV couples, in Cliff and Claire Huxtable, their obvious love for each other, the way she cared about his health, and he cared about her feelings, and didn't come off as cheesy, but real. They even seem like they could be, the real parents to their TV kids. The show will live on in reruns, but also in the hearts of its loyal fans.

Those are my top picks, for the most memorable TV couples, now if you'll excuse me, I Love Lucy is on.
