TV is overcrowded with tv shows (thanks to Peak TV), and is therefore overcrowded with couples. We get to have our pick of couples we like, as well as couples we could do without. What are the best and worst couples for you?

Miss Piggy and Kermit. Still the most obvious example in the media of Female on Male abuse in a relationship.
Worst:
Pete and Myka on Warehouse 13. (Fine as professional partners, absurd as romantic ones.)
Robin and Barney on How I Met Your Mother
Robin and Ted on How I Met Your Mother
Ted and Tracy on How I Met Your Mother
Nick and Adalind on Grimm
Jaime and Cersei on Game of Thrones
George Costanza and literally anyone on Seinfeld
Best:
Fitz and Simmons on Agents of SHIELD
Steed and Mrs. Peel on The Avengers (platonic!)
Lucy and Ricky on I Love Lucy
Homer and Marge on The Simpsons
Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Xena and Gabrielle on Xena: Warrior Princess
Ned and Chuck on Pushing Daisies
To me Pete and Myka were a great couple and there were hints from almost the very start, it was just a slow burn thing for them...

The best couple is Hibiki Amawa and Fuuko Kuzuha from the TV series called I My Me Strawberry Eggs, although they are not an official couple.
