One reason we love TV is, well the love on TV. Sometimes we see the romance before the couples do, but when they finally get together, it’s always worth the wait.
Many couplings blossomed from unusual pairings. When unrefined Fran Fine met Broadway producer Maxwell Sheffield and became The Nanny of his kids, who knew that the formal bridal consultant woud someday plan their big day? A horrifying plane ride in the third-season finale finally made Sheffield speak from the heart. By series’ end, they walked down the aisle.The sparks between Tony Micelli and CEO Angela Bower on Who’s the Boss? teased fans for eight years, until they rode into a Tunnel of love and emerged as more than friends.
The “marriage” between Laura Holt and Remington Steele was a facade, but their chemistry was real, and in the final season they became Mr. and Mrs. Steele in their hearts too. Spies Scarecrow and Mrs.King could dodge danger, but they couldn’t escape their true feelings and were ultimately wed.
When that certain someone falls from the sky, it’s destiny. The romance of Lois and Clark involved multiple proposals, breakups and a clone bride, but it remains an enduring memory. On I Dream of Jeannie, astronaut Tony Nelson parachuted onto and island and found a bottle that held everything he would ever need. But it took him four seasons to figure it out - and for fans to have their wish granted: a wedding between Jeannie and her master.
Two lasting loves set in a youg America were found in Little House on the Prarie and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Like viewers, Almanzo Wilder watched Laura Ingalls grow up, and when she turned 17 they married and started a family. The love between Dr. Michaela Quinn and Sully surfaced in a birthday kiss and led to an engagement in season two.
The beauty of a TV romance is that whether it’s in syndication or memory, the love that flowers never fades.
