My Favorite TV Ships of All Time

February 12, 2016

jmunney Television Abed x Rachel, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., April x Andy, Arrow, Bob x Linda, Bob's Burgers, Boy Meets World, Community, Cory x Topanga, Desmond x Penny, FitzSimmons, Frankie x Mike, Girl Meets World, Jeff x Annie, Lost, Mad Men, New Girl, Nick x Jess, Olicity, Parks and Recreation, Peggy x Stan, snowbarry, Suburgatory, Tessa x Ryan, The Flash, The Middle 1 Comment

Inspired by the latest AV Club Q&A and the upcoming Cupid Day, here are my favorite TV ships of all time. Generally, I only ship characters who legitimately could get together in-universe. Also, I prefer couplings that are actually healthy for the couples; pairings of folks who are wrong for each other can be entertaining, but rooting for them is something different than shipping (at least the kind that I practice). Organized by category, here are my top choices.

PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
