Who Is Your Favorite Fictional Couple?

Rob & Laura Petrie from "The Dick Van Dyke Show." They had such a quirky, sweetness about them. Problems were resolved with humor & love.

Superman and Louis Lane!

I absolutely love Jim and Pam together. I don't watch much TV anymore, but in my middle school/high school days, I was a vehement Pacey/Joey supporter (Dawson's Creek). Oh, who am I kidding...my roommate and I just rented Season 3 a few months ago and we still yelled at the screen when they ended their affair. I guess old TV couple loyalties are hard to break.

But all-time favorite? Homer and Marge Simpson, hands down. Theirs is a love that truly endures.

I don't know why, but one of the first couples that popped into my mind was Mork and Mindy. I think I liked them so much because Robin Williams was so goofy and Mindy was so sweet and obliging. Obviously, I haven't watched TV in awhile.

Though I run the risk of sounding obsessed, I have to say my favorite so far is Carl and Ellie Fredricksen from Up. Their love is built of mutual interests, they're exceedingly loyal and dedicated to one another, and they manage to keep their small, working-class lives a constant adventure. Aww.

Tristan and Isolde. Devastating and wonderful. I also have to agree with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

The first couple that came to my mind was Meredith Grey and Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy. From hidden ex-wives, multiple near-death experiences, and medical traumas, their love has survived it all. When they finally got "married" on a post-it note in the hospital lounge I cried. (It could also be because Patrick Dempsey is just so salivatingly gorgeous that it's more of an un-requited love for him that's my real fantasy ... )

Rebecca, I totally agree with you on Elizabeth and Darcy. In fact, all the Austen romances are fantastic ... the courtships are so tender and romantic. I love Elinor and Edward in "Sense and Sensibility," Anne Elliott and Frederick Wentworth in "Persuasion," even Emma Woodhouse and Mr. Knightley in "Emma." But my all-time favorite, so-passionate-and-destructive-it-could-never-last, couple is definitely a tie between Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky in "Anna Karenina" and Catherine and Heathcliff from "Wuthering Heights." My ideal man is a cross between Darcy and Heathcliff ... yummy!

I know there are probably others, but the first thing that came to mind when I read this was Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice." Every time they get together (finally!) I still love it.

My favorite love story of all time is Beauty and the Beast; I think the classic, unrequited love stories are the best. Currently, my favorite couple is Brennan and Booth on Bones. I like the switch—she is a rational, pragmatic scientist who believes love is only a chemical reaction and he is an emotional, passionate guy who believes in true, romantic love. Plus, they have great chemistry.
