Archie & Edith – All in the Family
Archie can be mean and nasty. He’s the stereotypical grumpy old man with some serious anger issues, but he’s pretty funny, too. How Edith remains married to him is, at times, incomprehensible.
His humor can be crude, yet we love this couple because they’re hilarious together. All in the Family is one of the seventies’ most classic sitcoms. As a couple, Archie and Edith are timeless.
Jesse & Becky – Full House
Full House is chock-full of happy days, and Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky’s relationship is perfect in that way. Even their fights are cute and syrupy. The long-running show, watching the children grow, became an American household TV staple.
It’s happily ever after, for real, when Jesse and Becky get married and have twins. And these are the reasons audiences are drawn to this warm and endearing show.
Eric & Donna – That ’70s Show
Donna’s the girl next door and Eric’s her doting boyfriend. This sitcom TV couple is cute, funny, and affectionate. We love their friendship, it’s like watching puppies play.
Their playful dynamic fits in perfectly with That ’70s Show friends group, hanging out in the basement or venturing out.
Tony & Carmela – The Sopranos
While Carmela’s no match for Cookie, she does live the wealthy crime family lifestyle with her head-honcho man. Even though Tony has his downfalls, like is expected of any serious mob boss, they make it work somehow.
No matter the circumstances, they seem to always have each others' backs. And they do have very sweet, touching moments. As a TV couple, they’re unforgettable. So, of course, Tony and Carmela Soprano make the list!
Leslie & Ben – Parks and Recreation
Local government was never so entertaining until state auditor, Ben, and parks and recreation head, Leslie, are forced to hide their love behind a no-relationship PDA policy in a little town called Pawnee. The nerdy couple committed to laws and regulations are adorable to watch, and viewers can’t help cheering their marital union.
When Ben finds out they’re having triplets in season six, his look at their personal, financial future expenses graphically tripling is endearing, especially as he hides his concern from Leslie.
