What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

List of the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples in TV history, current or past. These ‘will they or won’t they?’ couples have added romantic tension to the best television shows and given viewers a reason not to miss an episode -- after all, no one wants to say they missed the moment when a will-they-or-won’t-they TV couple finally did or didn’t. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes sweet, the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples viewers have enjoyed are on this list, from early television to currently-running series.&nbsp;The ‘will they or won’t they’ trope is nothing new to TV shows, and the list of problems that can keep seemingly destined-for-each-other couples apart is nearly endless. One half of the will-they-or-won’t-they couple might already have a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband (think Pam and Jim) or the two may appear not to get along, even though viewers can sense the underlying romantic feelings. Other common problems for will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples are location, job or social position, or the unwillingness of one half to commit (think Carrie and Mr. Big). &nbsp;Sometimes a will-they-or-won’t-they couple causes problems for a TV series. If the biggest appeal of a show is whether a couple will get together, will viewers still tune in after they do? On the other hand, the ‘will they or won’t they?’ storyline can become too drawn out, leaving viewers irritated. Of course, will-they-or-won’t-they couples have also caused some of the most touching and most heartbreaking moments in television. The first kiss or a marriage proposal after a drawn out will-they-or-won’t-they storyline can even bring a tear to the eye.&nbsp;If you’ve lived every tension-filled moment with the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples in history, then you understand how powerful TV can be. Enjoy this list of the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples and vote your favorites up.

Romance

No matter how many series have managed&nbsp;to get it right and stick the landing with their finales, there are so many TV shows that failed to live up to fans&#39; standards. That might come down to weird pacing, last-minute twists, or bizarre, unresolved cliffhangers &ndash; or, the problems could have to do with the romantic pairings. Few series finale decisions&nbsp;are quite as frustrating for viewers as seeing TV characters who chose the wrong partner in the end.

Whether it be through behind-the-scenes complications or genuine narrative fumbling&nbsp;by the creative team, there are many reasons why there are so many&nbsp;TV characters who ended up with the wrong person. But no matter what the excuse is, the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-mismatched-tv-couples/ranker-tv" target="_blank">worst TV romances</a> always feel particularly annoying, especially for anyone who spent years staying up to date on the show.

Now, it&#39;s entirely possible this list could change in the coming years, if say, Meredith Grey&nbsp;ends up with someone other than the late, great Derek Shepherd. But for now, the absolute most&nbsp;disappointing TV couplings of all time consist of limp <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-will-they-or-wont-they-couples-in-tv-history/ranker-tv" target="_blank">will-they-or-won&#39;t-they</a> matches and problematic partnerships that can&#39;t live up to the standards set by the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-tv-couples/lisa-waugh" target="_blank">best couples on television</a>.

'90s TV We'll Never Forget

Best TV

Who were the best TV characters of the &#39;90s? From Frasier, Friends, and Married With Children all the way to kid favorites like Clarissa Explains it All, Doug, and Saved By the Bell, these shows greatly impacted 90s culture and made it the memorable decade it was. This list has the best television characters from all those classic 1990s TV shows.

It was the decade we met Bart Simpson, Cosmo Kramer, and Frasier Crane. The top TV show characters of the 90&#39;s included family-focused favorites like Tim &ldquo;The Tool Man&rdquo; Taylor, the obnoxious but lovable Steve Urkel, and Fresh Prince Will Smith. Nineties TV introduced many children&#39;s characters as well: Tommy Pickles, Batman, Doug.

This decade had an air of innocence and lightheartedness. The top characters of the &#39;90s were, for the most part family-friendly, uplifting, and hilarious. Who will ever forget the girl-next-door <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-happened-to-danielle-fishel/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">Topanga Lawrence</a>, and the importance of having an older, wiser soul rooting for you, like Mr. Feeney? The innocence of Clarissa Explains It All, Family Ties, and Blossom, reinforced family values, and other top &#39;90s shows like Friends, Roseanne, and The Cosby Show, left us feeling like we were never alone in the world.

Vote up your favorite 1990s TV characters below and think back to when these guys came into your living room once a week. Then go find yourself a Seinfeld rerun. You know there&#39;s got to be one on.
