Mulder and Scully were essentially together off screen, though with a complicated relationship. And now kind of aren't on the new show… but kind of are.

One major relationship that happened and then didn't happen thanks to forces outside of the show's fictional world was Sam and Diane on Cheers. Their relationship is of course a cornerstone of sitcom will they/won't they, and they definitely worked better at odds with each other. But though the storyline leading to…

You could have a whole separate article (and maybe someone has) about characters who got together with the obviously wrong person. Especially when it happens because the writers / producers had a relationship in mind from the beginning and don't care what chemistry appeared between characters or actors further down…

A while back, a great answer would've been Root and Shaw, but now they pretty much made it official. As a fan of Person of Interest, I find it disappointing that a major network show has given us a stealth lesbian relationship and no one seems to ever mention it anywhere.

I found it very entertaining that one of the biggest "shipped" couples on television — Mulder and Scully — did get together, but it was all off screen. Even on the new show it seems mostly in the past. That's either due to Chris Carter having no interest in writing relationship stories, or him purposely screwing with…

If you count the movies, Troi and Riker did get back together. Fry and Leela, too.

I couldn't agree more. It's so much worse when it seems 100% inevitable.

I always thought that Roger and Don never deserved those women.

That is also the biggest problem with the "will they won't they" stories. If it goes on for too long, it seems ridiculous when they don't get together. And once they finally do, what else is there? Completely, happily together couples are boring.

I do dislike it in a show where I think it doesn't belong, or I feel like its shoehorned in out of some sense of obligation. The latest example is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where I wanted more wacky absurd comedy instead of Jake and Amy's relationship travails.

Icky.

You've stumbled upon one of the most mocked and criticized Liefield images ever.

I agree and wow… So far 123 others do, too.

I sort of like The Fifth Element, but for me, Chris Tucker's character ruined it. And that is the one time I mean that literally. I don't mean he is my least favorite part. He stops me from watching it.

But she sure is nice to look at.

It's funny that people make such a big deal out of live television. People from back in the '50s would probably wonder what the big deal was.

And he was a very successful, popular football star before becoming a TV personality, analyst, etc.

I forgot they were doing Undateable live, but I kind of forgot that show was even on still.

I'm sure people who aren't old enough to remember this time. But the trial and its coverage made a big impact on things that follow. Hell, it even made careers. Someone reminded me the other day that Greta Van Susteren's TV career was more or less a result of her being one of CNN's major legal analysts during the…

They… they check in with the young Kardashian girls? That sounds like enough to ruin the whole thing. And Murphy's not a hack? Ugh.
