Seth & Summer – The O.C.
The cutest couple ever. This teenage romance keeps it real, but Seth’s quirky personality really gives it the extra “aww” to make it absolutely adorable. From a childhood crush on the girl-next-door to head-over-heels true love, the couple adds a lot to The O.C.
Like that one indelible scene. Seth is suspended by the ankles, hanging upside-down wearing a Spiderman mask, and they kiss in the pouring rain. Funny. Cute. And, oh so sweet.
Alice & Ralph – The Honeymooners
This ’50s-era comedy duo played a married, working-class couple. She keeps up the apartment and he works as an N.Y.C. bus driver. She’s got a women’s rights perspective and advocates the merits of modernity, he’s a conservative who won’t buy a TV or modern conveniences like an electric refrigerator.
He may be stingy with his money, but the couple is generous with hilarious digs and comedic banter. Alice and Ralph are a classic TV couple.
Marissa & Alex – The O.C.
Back in The O.C. are Alex and Marissa. More of an experimental tryst than a relationship, Alex and Marissa get together in the second season.
Resulting, in part, from Marissa’s tendency toward risky behavior and her teenage rebellion against her parents, the girls become more than “just friends.” Seth is left waiting in the wings. Ryan’s off somewhere in the distance.
Betty & Jughead – Riverdale
This teen drama, based on the Archie comics courtesy of the CW, is Riverdale. Betty and Jughead, a mystery-solving duo from Riverdale, came from opposite sides of the tracks. It’s hard to resist rooting for these two in love amidst conflict.
Like Jughead said, “I wish we could just go. Just hop on the motorcycle, and just leave Riverdale. Go some place where there’s no Northside or Southside or Serpents, Ghoulies.” Betty’s response: “Ya. Romeo and Juliet, but we live happily ever after instead.” It’s pretty much what happens, in the end.
Mindy & Danny – The Mindy Project
The Mindy Project is another TV show taking place in a hospital, but Mindy and Danny don’t fall in love at first sight. In fact, they hated each other when they first met.
One thing leads to another, and the two OB/GYNs fall head over heels in love with each other. It’s one “aww” moment after another.
