TV Couples Article: Similar Couples

30

posted by reesespbcup419

I was just looking over a pick i made about my favorite couples and I realized my FAVORITE favorite couples area all somewhat similar.

I've noticed also that shows tend to have similar characters on their shows (drama shows at least):

-every show has a deep connection couple: Lucas/Peyton, Ryan/Marissa, Buffy/Angel, Liz/Max,

-every show has a sweet or comic relief couple (that can be just as important as the deep ones, but they have a different dynamic): Summer/Seth, Brooke/Lucas, Buffy/Spike

-every show has random couples that don't mean anything in the long run and are just fillers in between meaningful relationships: Lucas/Lindsey, Lucas/Anna, Peyton/Pete, Brooke/Felix, Haley/Chris, Ryan/Lindsey Gardner, Marissa/Alex, Seth/Alex, Ryan/Theresa, Marissa/Volchok, Buffy/Riley, Meredith/any guy she brought home from the bar in her effort to get over Derek, Alex Karev/Nurse Olivia, George/Nurse Olivia, etc.

Also there is sometimes one solid couple that is always together: One Tree Hill (Nathan/Haley), The OC (Sandy/Kirsten), etc.

rose2 i agree with you.i haven't noticed it before.

jackiehyde4eva i also agree very observant

amazondebs although i agree with you on certain things i don't think you can compare Lucas/Peyton, Ryan/Marissa, with buffy/angel and liz/max. The dynamic of them all is so different i also can't believe anyone would think buffy and spike are comic relief! If you look at buffy and spike properly you can see they're probably one of if not the darkest couple on tv. again nathan and haley and sandy and kirsten are completley different because sandy/kirsten are the parents of the main characters and nathan and haley are the main characters

NikaDawson Like debs said, I very much agree with the article, except I can't see Buffy/Spike as anything know as comic relief, except maybe in Something Blue.

3liiiiin Yeah soo true!! :)

totally-sugar sort of... ;P ;) ♥

PoooBoo I agree 100% Good article!

gracery Buffy and Spike as a comic-relief couple with no depth? o_O Did you watch BtVS? I agree with the concept but not necessarily the examples!
