Okay, so I've decided to pick thirty shows I'm currently watching in various ways and picked some of my favourite pairings. A lot of the pairings are romantic, a few quasi-romantic or platonic. Hope you enjoy the first part of this.
K9 - Alistair Gryffen/June Turner
Falls into the category of a non romantic pairing but if this show actually goes from having a second season in development to a second season on the air, who knows? There's certainly a nice rapport between Department lady June Turner and now not so agoraphobic Professor Alistair Gryffen.
Sugar Rush - Kim Daniels/Saint
I've been watching repeats of the second season on 4Music (and I'll be doing some blogs relating to the series soon) and I realise that I really did love Kim and Saint as a couple. They certainly weren't perfect but they were interesting though and it's a shame the show was cut so shortly as well.
Carnivale - Ben Hawkins/Sofie Agnesh Bojakshiya
Something of an odd pairing this one, it's kind of a shame that the writers didn't explore them further but their scenes together on TV were quite good. I wish we had seen more between Ben and Sofie.
Sex And The City - Miranda Hobbes/Steve Brady
This show has always been a mixed bag with couples but somehow, the writers (if you ignore the subsequent movies in 2008/2010) got it right with Miranda and Steve. Great chemistry with the actors and far more believable than the Carrie/Big rubbish that's bogged the show down as well.
Modern Family - Phil Dunphy/Claire Dunphy
I know I should talk about this show a lot more than I do, so I'm adding Phil and Claire to this as well. A great couple, brilliant rapport between the respective actors portraying them but also rather believable as well, though this show excels with all the couples.
I definitely agree with the Modern Family and SATC pairings. One of the things I hate most about the first SATC movie is the direction they took with Steve and Miranda- it's just a world away from the characters we knew and just too cliched.
ReplyDeleteI'm expanding this list a little so 10 other shows will be discussed before I talk about the 25 others I have in my list.
ReplyDeleteI still have to see the second SATC movie myself.
Don't bother with the 2nd SATC movie- waste of time.
ReplyDeleteI won't, unless I'm bored and need something to watch.
