Love confessions are great, but they can't happen until you realize you have feelings for someone. 

Some characters proclaim their feelings immediatly, but it takes others more time.

Just because you're aware that you love someone, doesn't mean you're ready to said it outloud. 

We created a slideshow below of 13 of the best love epiphanies of all time!

1. Chloe realizes she loves Lucifer - Lucifer

Sometimes it takes your boyfriend going to hell before you realize how deep your feelings for him go. When Lucifer made the ultimate sacrifice to keep Chloe safe, Chloe realized she was in love with him.

2. Lydia realizes she loves Stiles - Teen Wolf

Lydia realizes she loves stiles teen wolf
You could argue that Lydia knew she had feelings for Stiles long before this scene, but the moment her memories came flooding back to her was the moment their love became undeniable.

3. Amy realizes she has feelings for Jonah - Superstore

Amy realizes she has feelings for jonah superstore
It may have taken Amy years to reach this conclusion, but we couldn't be happier that she finally did. After spending the entire day goofing off with Jonah, Amy's crush began.

4. Jane realizes she loves Michael - Jane the Virgin

Jane realizes she loves michael jane the virgin
Let it be known that after Michael kissed Jane, the narrator said that Jane felt as if she was walking on air. It only took one minute for everything to change, and Jane finally knew who had her heart.

5. Simon realizes he has feelings for Isabelle - Shadowhunters

Simon realizes he has feelings for isabelle shadowhunters
After Simon's sister accused him of being into Isabelle, Simon realized that she was right. His awkwardness around her upon the realization was both dorky and adorable.

6. Jess realizes she still loves Nick - New Girl

Jess realizes she still loves nick new girl
Jess may have needed someone else to point it out to her, but there was no denying that what Sam said was true. Jess has always loved Nick and she always would. Jess' feelings made it difficult for her to watch Nick and his girlfriend throughout Season 6, but they ended up together in the end.

You don't have to be an old married couple to act like one. 

All you really need to do is end up at each other's throats, while also being overly concerned about each other's well being.

Some relationships on television play the part up for laughs, and with others it just comes naturally. 

We've created a slideshow below of 27 young old married couples! 

1. Damon and Bonnie - The Vampire Diaries

Damon and bonnie the vampire diaries
We're still Team Bamon for life. Damon and Bonnie bickered constantly, but at the end of the day, they loved each other and were best friends. And we can't forget that when they were stuck in another dimension they read the newspaper and did crossword puzzles together. Can you get any more domestic?

2. Raj and Howard - The Big Bang Theory

Raj and howard the big bang theory
Raj and Howard acting like an old married couple is a running gag on The Big Bang Theory. If we're being honest, we're surprised they ended up marrying other people instead of each other.

3. Mac and Dennis - It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia

Mac and dennis its always sunny in philidelphia
Sometimes we forget that Mac and Dennis are roommates and not husbands who live together. They've even been called out by other characters for acting like an old married couple in the past.

4. Joey and Chandler - Friends

Joey and chandler friends
At the end of the day, Joey and Chandler will always be each other's true love. They lived together and even had two kids: a chick and a duck. You can't get much more married than that.

5. Michael and Maria - Roswell, New Mexico

Michael and maria roswell new mexico
Michael and Maria act like they've known each other for a century. When they're not bickering and acting like they want to rip each other's heads off, they're kissing and being the softest people on the planet. Somehow, it's an adorable mix.

6. Winston and Schmidt - New Girl

Winston and schmidt new girl
Winston and Schmidt's relationship was one of the highlights of New Girl. They already lived together, and they were always bickering with each other over the strangest things.

19 Ladies Leading the Diversity Charge on TV

0
0

Women are already discriminated against enough as a gender, but when it comes to putting a woman of color in any role, let alone a lead role, there's still a large disparity. 

While this disparity is one that certainly takes leaps and bounds to recover, the hope is to eventually make it the norm to have a woman of color cast as a lead or win an award. No need for landmark events of these happenings.

We welcome comments below, and any additional women you think have aided in diversifying the status quo and the scene of the entertainment business.

1. Sandra Oh - Killing Eve

Sandra oh killing eve
Sandra Oh alongside Jodie Comer carries Killing Eve to incredible heights. Not only does it cast two female leads in place of a traditionally male-dominated genre, but it places a woman of color, specifically Asian, in that leading position. Oh has paved the way for many Asians in Hollywood. Notably, being the first Asian woman to not only be nominated for an Emmy as a lead actress but also the first to host the Golden Globes.

2. Aisha Dee - The Bold Type

Aisha dee the bold type
Aisha Dee plays Kat Edison on The Bold Type, a TV show that highlights progressiveness in our current worldly climate, particularly for women, as most of the leading characters are strong women making their way in a hard city and a hard industry. Aisha sheds light on biracial representation, one that's often overlooked and goes undiscussed.

3. Justina Machado - One Day At A Time

Justina machado one day at a time
Justina Machado the lead of One Day At A Time celebrates that diversity goes beyond black and white, and there's so much more in between. Playing a Latina mother from Cuba she feels it's a duty of hers, while also an honor, to lead the charge in correct Latino representation on television.

4. Letitia Wright - Black Mirror

Letitia wright black mirror
Letitia Wright earned an Emmy nomination for her lead portrayal in Black Museum on Black Mirror. An episode that has caused some disturbance with many people in trying to understand the truth behind the episode. Some believe it to be a commentary on the prison system. Wright's journey from Guyana to making a name for herself in Hollywood, most notably in Black Panther is a journey that she feels empowered by and only hopes inspire the creation of many other TV shows and movies reminiscent of each.

5. Gina Rodriguez - Jane the Virgin

Gina rodriguez jane the virgin
Gina Rodrguez is a huge advocate in Latino representation. Her lead role as Jane in Jane the Virgin and a few other lead roles in movies empowers her to aid others in understanding that even within the Latino community there's a huge amount of important diversity; differing skin tones, religious beliefs, and perspectives. She wants Latinos to be able to watch entertainment and feel seen and heard.

6. Jameela Jamil - The Good Place

Jameela jamil the good place
Jameela Jamil's role in The Good Place as Tahanhi Al Jamil gives way to South Asian representation, especially the "token diversity," which allows writers to only write Asians in stereotypical terms or as minor/supporting roles. Jamil largely uses her platform to speak not only to racial challenges in Hollywood, but additionally about body image issues and the role it plays on the public.

19 Characters Who Had Too Many Love Interests

0
0

There's no doubt that characters can have as many flings or relationships as they want.

But when a character has a large amount of serious love interests in such a short amount of time, keeping up with their love life starts to get a bit exhausting.

Related: Roswell, New Mexico: 11 Reasons We Ship Michael and Alex

There comes a time when they need to take a break from their search for romance, and start doing some soul searching instead. 

We created a slideshow below of 19 characters who had too many love interests! 

1. Archie Andrews - Riverdale

Archie andrews riverdale
It's hard to believe that Riverdale's first season was only 13 episodes, considering that Archie had five different love interests throughout it. We get that the Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle had to be a thing, but did they have to throw his teacher, Cheryl, and Valerie in there at the same time?

2. Callie Foster - The Fosters

Callie foster the fosters
The real question is, who didn't Callie date? Callie is, of course, at liberty to be with whoever she pleases, but things were getting excessive on The Fosters. She constantly played with everyone's heart and bounced from one person to the next in no time at all.

3. Lexie Grey - Grey's Anatomy

Lexie grey greys anatomy
Lexie somehow ended up in relationships with all three of Grey's Anatomy's most eligible bachelors. Mark, Jackson, and Alex all dated her at one point or another, even though Sloan was the only person she ever had chemistry with.

4. Hakeem Lyon - Empire

Hakeem lyon empire
Hakeem has a baby with his dad's ex-wife and spent a lot of time in on and off relationships. It was hard to focus on his storyline when there was so much romantic drama in the way.

5. Simon Lewis - Shadowhunters

Simon lewis shadowhunters
It took Simon far too long to realize that his soulmate had always been right in front of him. It's easy to forget that Simon was dating his bandmate until he confessed his love for Clary and ended up in a serious relationship with his best friend. After that ended, he quickly entered into a relationship with Maia, which lasted for quite some time. Meanwhile, we were all just waiting for Sizzy to happen.

6. Oliver Queen - Arrow

Oliver queen arrow
Because of how devoted Oliver and Felicity are to each other, it's easy to forget that they weren't together during the first couple seasons of Arrow. Oliver had serious relationships with Laurel, her sister Sara, Shado (through flashbacks), Helena, and McKenna all over the span of two seasons. Not to mention that the show was also building up his romance with Felicity through that time period.

41 TV Couples With Absolutely No Chemistry

0
0

There are a lot of elements that go into making a fictional relationship successful. 

The story and the development are both crucial pieces to the puzzle, but they don't matter if there's no onscreen chemistry. 

Related: 17 Times Labor Went Above and Beyond the Pain

Some ships fizzled out the longer their show was on, and others never had a spark to begin with. 

We created a list below of 41 TV couples with absolutely no chemistry! 

1. Jackson and Maggie - Grey's Anatomy

Jackson and Maggie

Most fans can collectively agree that the relationship between Jackson and Maggie is a dull one. Or maybe it seems dull in comparison to what Jackson and April could have had. 

2. Tom and Ann - Parks and Recreation

Tom and Ann

You know there's no chemistry when their first onscreen kiss made viewers physically cringe. What was the point of throwing Tom and Ann together, again?

3. Max and Georgia - New Amsterdam

Max and Georgia

Max's devotion to his wife is sweet, but that's the only thing we can appreciate about their marriage. It doesn't make us feel anything other than boredom. 

4. Edison and Olivia - Scandal

Olivia and Edison

Most Scandal viewers weren't huge fans of Edison. Whether or not our dislike of the character played into how we view their chemistry is still uncertain, but there never seemed to be any magnetism in the relationship. 

5. Rachel and Sam - Glee

Sam and Rachel

It felt unnecessary for Glee to even go here in the first place. Rachel had recently recovered from Finn's death, and she was obviously going to rekindle things with Jesse. It was as if Rachel had to give it a shot with everyone before the show's end.

6. Scott and Kira - Teen Wolf

Scott and Kira

Scott and Kira started the series incredibly cute, but as the show went on the writers seemed to stop caring about her.

Her whimsical personality disappeared, and she became a bland character who faded into the background. Kira's relationship with Scott suffered as a result, and their dynamic fell completely flat. 

7. Sam and Tara - True Blood

Sam and Tara

There were quite a few couples in True Blood who's chemistry was nonexistent. Sam and Tara fell into that category, and Sookie and Bill could probably fit in there too. 

8. Dean and Beth - Good Girls

Dean and Beth

Are they even supposed to have chemistry? It's incredible that Dean and Beth still haven't divorced given how they both cheated and can't stand to be around each other. 

9. Rick and Jessie - The Walking Dead

Rick and Jessie

Rick and Jessie are the definition of a filler relationship. Rick hadn't truly been with anyone since Lori, and the show wasn't quite ready to put him with his best friend, Michonne. Therefore, Rick and Jessie existed in limbo. 

10. Amy and Adam - Superstore

Amy and Adam - Superstore

The relationship between Amy and her husband was so bad it was laughable. It was hard even to consider them a couple when her chemistry with her co-worker, Jonah, was off the charts in comparison. 

11. Finn and Raven - The 100

Finn and Raven

To be fair, Finn didn't have chemistry with anyone. But he and Raven always appeared as though they had more of a sibling bond than a romantic one. 

12. Betty and Jughead - Riverdale

Betty and Jughead

Considering that the actors dated in real life, it was surprising that the characters onscreen chemistry dwindled so dramatically. Now everytime they're on the screen together we can't help but sing, "Thank U, Next."

13. Seg and Lyta - Krypton

Seg and Lyta

If we're being honest, Seg doesn't have much chemistry with anyone, but his relationship with Lyta was dull in every sense of the word. 

14. Lucifer and Eve - Lucifer

Lucifer and Eve

Lucifer and Eve might not have been able to keep their hands off each other, but it always felt forced on Lucifer's end to get over Chloe. Nothing about it seemed real. 

15. Allison and Luther - The Umbrella Academy

Allison and Luther

Allison and Luther were raised as siblings and had no problem calling the rest of their family brothers and sisters. The romance between them felt wrong in every way possible. 

16. Frank and Claire - House of Cards

Frank and Claire

Frank and Claire's marriage didn't feel real at all. There seemed to be a lack of love, and it felt as if they were married to suit their political agendas more than anything else.

17. Jess and Robby - New Girl

Jess and Robby

Even before they realized they were cousins, their interactions were just plain cringe-worthy. Jess and Robby kept trying to force what wasn't there. 

18. Jane and Rafael - Jane the Virgin

Jane and Rafael

Don't come at me, Jafael fans. There's no denying that over the second half of the series their chemistry drastically improved.

But besides one kiss amped up with dramatic music and falling flower petals, their relationship was bland and uneventful in the first few seasons. Even Rafael originally saw Jane like a sister. 

19. Liz and Kyle - Roswell, New Mexico

Liz and Kyle

Their hookups may not have lasted for long, but it was still hard to watch Liz and Kyle together when it seemed rather tasteless and was never going to go anywhere. 

20. Jackie and Fez - That 70's Show

Jackie and Fez

How did this even happen? Jackie had two other viable options with whom she had chemistry, and it made no sense that the series decided to stick her with the one person she didn't. 

21. Riley and Lucas - Girl Meets World

Riley and Lucas

It still blows our minds that Riley and Lucas ended up together. Their entire story was boring and stereotypical, and Lucas had much more chemistry with Riley's best friend, Maya. 

22. Shelby and Ryan - Quantico

Shelby and Ryan

Shelby and Ryan should never have been a thing in the first place. We're still shocked that Quantico decided to go with such a hollow relationship over the alternatives.

23. George and Izzie - Grey's Anatomy

George and Izzie

George and Izzie always gave off friendship vibes more than anything. When they got together, it looked like they were kissing their brother or sister. 

24. Jason and Tahani - The Good Place

Jason and Tahani

Thankfully, Jason and Tahani happened in a small number of the reboots, but it was still weird to watch. Now, they're married so that Jason can share in her wealth. 

25. Rebecca and Josh - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Rebecca and Josh

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend made such a big deal about the Rebecca and Josh's relationship when it wasn't even all that to begin with. They both have more chemistry with other people. 

26. Veronica and Duncan - Veronica Mars

Veronica and Duncan

Duncan stayed away from Veronica because he thought that she was his sister, and honestly, that dynamic fit them better than a romantic one. 

27. Felicity and Ray - Arrow

Felicity and Ray

Felicity was only with Ray to cause drama between her and Oliver, so it made sense that there weren't any sparks here. They weren't the couple viewers were supposed to be rooting for. 

28. Greg and Jax - Pandora 

Greg and Pandora

When Greg and Jax meet up at the Space Fleet Training Academy, Jax makes it clear that she's not interesting in caring for anyone else. Her whole attitude played into the events that followed, and now there's not even a chance to see if chemistry could have even been created between the two.  

29. Ted and The Slutty Pumpkin - How I Met Your Mother

Ted and Slutty Pumpkin

The lack of compatibility between Ted and The Slutty Pumpkin was comical. They couldn't even hold hands without making it awkward. We know you were hung up on her for a while Ted, but some things just aren't meant to be. 

30. Charles and Liza - Younger

Charles and Liza

Many people will likely disagree with this one, but Charles and Liza have always felt more forced than anything. While their scenes together are sometimes enjoyable, the fireworks aren't there and they have never been. 

31. Ed and Kelly - The Orville

Ed and Kelly

Despite being married in the past, Ed and Kelly's relationship is only good when it's a working one. Kelly now serves as Ed's first officer and everything gets thrown out of wack when they try to rekindle their romance. 

32. Rose and Mickey - Doctor Who

Rose and Mickey

Mickey and Rose knew each other since they were kids and Mickey always had a crush on Rose. But viewers were always given the impression that Rose only cared about Mickey as a friend and was with him more for convenience than anything else. 

33. Lorelai and Jason - Gilmore Girls

Lorelai and Jason

Maybe we're biased, but Lorelai never had chemistry with anyone other than Luke. It's probably because, deep in her heart, it was always Luke she wanted to be with. 

34. Simon and Clary - Shadowhunters

Simon and Clary

Simon and Clary gave off best friend energy, and that was it. We get that the show threw them together to stay true to Cassandra Clare's books, but viewers could have done without it.

35. Michael and Ash - Star Trek: Discovery

Michael and Ash

Ash being a physically reconstructed Klingon with memories grafted over his real identity made his relationship with Michael undesirable. Whatever spark used to be there has gone out completely. 

36. Dean and Lisa - Supernatural 

Dean and Lisa

Dean's time on the road with his brother doesn't give him many opportunities for long-term romances, but when he did finally get one it was underwhelming. The only woman Dean ever had chemistry with was Jo, and she was killed moments after their first kiss. 

37. Caitlin and Julian - The Flash

Caitlin and Julian

Caitlin and Julian are both great characters, but sadly the spark isn't there. No matter how much we love them, sometimes couples just fall flat. 

38. Gina and Charles - Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Gina and Charles

Gina and Charles went from begrudging co-workers to casually hooking up, to step-siblings, to ex step-siblings. The whole thing was a giant trainwreck. 

39. Devon and Julian - The Resident

Devon and Julian

Devon and Julian were a weird case. There were times it was easy to ship them, but their chemistry was always off, and sometimes they were plain awkward around each other. 

40. Aria and Ezra - Pretty Little Liars

Aria and Ezra

The only vibes Ezria gave off were creepy ones. A sixteen-year-old girl and her high school teach don't have chemistry. If anything, the forbidden love aspect tried to compensate for the lack of it. 

41. Wil and Mareth - The Shannara Chronicles

Wil and Mareth

Who thought this was a good idea? Wil had much more chemistry with Eretria, and while Mareth was a fun addition to the show, her romance with Wil felt forced. 

17 Shows that Aged like Fine Wine

0

There is no specific formula for the perfect TV show, but somehow these shows managed to find one.

Some writers drag out shows far too long and include unnecessary conflict and extra storylines leaving an anticlimactic or disappointing finale.

However, the shows included in the list below seem to have upheld the most loyal of fanbases throughout their time on TV, and despite some of them having a rocky beginning, they made up for it by the end and aged like fine wine. 

Related: 17 Unpopular Opinions in the TV World

Check out our list below and maybe you'll find yourself a new show that certainly won't disappoint!

Don't forget to leave your comments below. Let us know what you think of our list and any inclusions we may have overlooked!

1. New Girl

New girl
New Girl's strong, bonded friendships between very different characters allow for many laughs and entertaining evenings. It kept the storyline light, but true to life by including common challenges that every day brings.

2. Broad City

Broad city
Broad City is another great show gone too fast. The power of female friendship and the trials and tribulations of early adulthood are at play in this wonderful comedy. If you're looking for an easy-breezy watch, don't hesitate to jump in on this show.

3. The Fosters

The fosters
Similarly to Modern Family, The Fosters offers a look at a unique family brought together by many hard circumstances. It highlights the challenges and problems within the foster system and allows a look at the hardships faced to children who happen to be raised in the system. A good mix of ups and downs, the show will have you crying and laughing with every plotline.

4. Switched at Birth

Switched at birth
The premise of the show was fascinating and unique to any network show, and it interested audiences immediately. Creating a place for the deaf community on TV, as well as highlighting the significant differences between economic classes played essential roles that brought understanding to various groups of people.

5. Friends

Friends
Seeing as it's a popular classic among so many, the show writers certainly did something right. Maybe it's the friendships, the humor, or the romance, whatever it was it will always remain a classic.

6. Criminal Minds

Criminal minds
Different than so many other crime shows, Criminal Minds hosts a new style of FBI investigations. If you're into psychology and have ever questioned the motives of a serial killer, this show is a must-see. The writer's ability to create a unique serial killer each episode is mindblowing.

19 Couples Who Refused to Define the Relationship

0
0

Your favorite ship finally getting together is an incredible feeling. Nothing can rain on your parade...until the couple refuses to DTR. 

They may be keeping things "casual," but they need to admit what they mean to each other and go all in. As shippers, we're in it for the long haul. 

We created a slideshow belows of 19 couples who refused to define the relationship! 

Garrett and Dina - Superstore

Garrett and Dina

Garrett and Dina are singlehandedly the inspiration behind this list. Since the two are co-workers and Dina is Garrett's superior, they had to disclose their relationship to corporate.

Related: GLOW: Coming to an End!

They refused to check the box stating they were in a relationship, and they were on the phone with corporate for hours campaigning to get a new option added. 

Dan and Charlotte - Lucifer

Charlotte and Dan

Dan and Charlotte didn't realize how much they meant to each other until it was too late. Dan had previously been sleeping with Lucifer's mom when she was in Charlotte's body, and he had no idea that she was possessed. 

When Charlotte comes back and remembers nothing, she and Dan have to start all over from scratch. He eventually falls for the real her, but Charlotte is killed almost directly after she and Dan realize that they want to be together. 

Barney and Robin - How I Met Your Mother

Barney and Robin

Barney and Robin are the poster children for couples who hate to DTR. They were so against defining their relationship that Lily kept them physically locked in a room until they were willing to do so. 

Related: Titans Season 2 Episode 3 Review: Ghosts

Robin even went on a date at Barney's encouragement to prove that there was nothing serious going on between them. Needless to say, they began to realize how wrong they were when Barney showed up and punched her date in the face.

Beth and Rio - Good Girls

Beth and Rio

As of Good Girls Season 2, Beth and Rio are not in a great place. But if Good Girls Season 2 Episode 13 never happened, or happened differently, their relationship may have gone in another direction.

Although neither of them would ever admit it, something was going on between them besides just sex. Rio always had a bit of a soft spot towards Beth, and some of the things he did for her were unexpected, to say the least. 

Jake and Amy - Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Jake and Amy

Dating your co-worker can get complicated, so after Jake and Amy end up kissing at the precinct they decide to keep things "light and breezy."

But there was an emotional investment on both sides, and it didn't take them long to realize that "light and breezy" wasn't going to work. Even though it was risky, Jake and Amy took a gamble and went all in. 

Xo and Rogelio - Jane the Virgin

Xo and Rogelio

Xo's relationship with Jane's father was a rollar coaster. For a while, we didn't know what they were to each other, and it didn't seem like they were too sure either.

Related: Jim Parsons, Mayim Bialik Reunite for FOX Comedy

After a series of ups and downs, Xo and Rogelio finally realize that they are meant for each other and end up getting married at the Marbella Hotel. 

Bloom and Reynolds - New Amsterdam

Bloom and Reynolds

Bloom and Reynolds were sleeping together for a time, but Bloom decides to be honest and let Reynolds know that she wants more than just sex. 

Reynolds tells Bloom that he's only interested in being with a black woman for the long-term. When Reynolds tries to start things up between them again, Bloom turns him down. 

Schmidt and Cece - New Girl

Schmidt and Cece

At first, Schmidt and Cece were on two completely separate wavelengths. Schmidt wanted a real relationship and for the entire world to know that they were together, but Cece was embarrassed by him and continuously reminded Schmidt that they were just having sex.

Cece eventually admitted that she liked Schmidt for real, and they decide to enter an official relationship. It doesn't work out at first, but they end up married with a daughter by the end of the show. 

Chase and Cameron - House

Chase and Cameron

Chase and Cameron are another example of how "just sex" can easily turn into something more. Their romance definetly wasn't easy, but that doesn't mean we love it any less. 

Related: Suits Series Finale Trailer: How Will It End?

Despite all the drama we had to witness, Chase and Cameron proved that true love could conquer all.

Michael and Alex - Roswell, New Mexico

Michael and Alex

As of Roswell, New Mexico Season 1, viewers still don't know what the deal with Malex is. They fell for each other in high school, and for the past ten years, they have continuously come back to each other. 

Although it's clear that they love each other, Michael chose to pursue Maria in Roswell, New Mexico Season 1 Episode 13. We have no idea what the new season holds for them, but here's to hoping they'll call it official in the future. 

Jake and Faye - The Secret Circle

Jake and Faye

Jake and Faye were pretty much just sleeping together, although it was clear that Faye wanted more. Jake was always hung up on Cassie, and it was hard for us not to love that relationship as well.

But fans seemed to be rooting for Jake and Faye, and despite the show's cancellation, it was implied that Jake was ready to give a relationship with Faye a real shot. 

Jackson and April - Grey's Anatomy

Jackson and April

Jackson and April were friends for years before anything romantic happened between them. April ended up losing her virginity to Jackson, and as much as she wanted to, she couldn't seem to stay away from him. 

It took them far too long to realize how much they loved each other. We know that April is no longer on the show, but that doesn't stop us from hoping that she and Jackson will have their happily ever after. 

Josh and Liza - Younger

Liza and Josh

Unsure of what to call their relationship at first, Josh and Liza said that they're "hanging out." Even though Liza was still lying about her age, it was obvious that they had strong feelings for each other.

Related: Grey's Anatomy is Bringing Back a Key Character in Season 16

When the truth finally came out, it didn't diminish Josh's love for her, even if it did cause a huge fight. They were an official couple for a while before splitting up, but something tells us their story isn't over. 

Jonah and Amy - Superstore

Amy and Jonah

Jonah and Amy's reluctance to label their relationship was a bit frustrating. They were a three-season slow burn, and they were already pretty deep in their feels by the time they finally got together. 

It took months for Jonah and Amy to call themselves an official couple. Because of the excruciating wait, we can't help but squeal anytime they refer to each other as their boyfriend or girlfriend. 

Dyson and Bo - Lost Girl

Dyson and Bo

Dyson and Bo tried their best to be friends with benefits and to have no strings attached. But has that ever successfully worked for any television couple in history?

To no one's surprise, Dyson and Bo end up developing feelings for each other. 

Jane and Ryan - The Bold Type

Jane and Ryan

Jane and Ryan start sleeping together after they both write eye-opening articles concerning female pleasure. Ryan changes Jane's sex-life completely, and she quickly starts to realize she has feelings for Ryan. 

Ryan isn't a relationship-type guy, but with Jane that eventually changes. 

Chandler and Monica - Friends

Chandler and Monica

What happens in London stays in London, right? Wrong. Chandler and Monica may have tried to keep their relationship overseas, but true love can't be contained. 

Related: American Horror Story Season 9 Episode 1 Review: Camp Redwood

It took them a while to call things official, and Monica even agreed to go on a date with someone else since Chandler said they were "just goofing around." But Chandler eventually gets over his fear of commitment, and the two go on to be the best couple on Friends. 

J.D. and Elliot - Scrubs

J.D. and Elliot

J.D. and Elliot's romance was complicated. It was hard to put a label on their relationship because it was difficult to keep up with what was going on. 

They tried to keep things casual, but as could be expected, it didn't go well. We couldn't be happier that they got married and were able to put all the complications behind them. 

Chloe and Alek - The Nine Lives of Chloe King

Chloe and Alek

Chloe and Alek deserve so much better. Alek had always been head over heels for Chloe, but Chloe was torn between him and Brian. Because of her conflicting feelings, she never fully went all-in with him. 

The Nine Lives of Chloe King was canceled, and their story was never resolved. However, the writers created a movie script to close the series, and although they were never able to produce it, Chloe realized that she was in love with Alek.

Don't you hate when your favorite couple has an unsatisfying ending?

Sometimes a couple gets together by the end of a show, but we expected more given the effort it took them to get there.

Talk of divorce, memory loss, and half-assed weddings weren't things that left us with the warm and fuzzies when some series came to a close. 

We created a slideshow below of 17 endgame 'ships we love -- with endings that we hate. 

1. Stiles and Lydia - Teen Wolf

Stiles and lydia teen wolf
For six agonizing seasons, fans waited for Stiles and Lydia to finally admit their feelings for each other. Once they finally got together, Dylan O'Brien left the show and returned only for the series finale. Their kiss wasn't as satisfying as it could have been, and viewers didn't get to experience them as a real couple.

2. Mac and Harm - JAG/NCIS: Los Angeles

Mac and harm jag slash ncis los angeles
The entire series of JAG was one big will they/won’t they for these two with plenty of ship teases that didn't go anywhere. Mac and Harm finally got together and ended up married in the series finale, only to bring them back in NCIS: Los Angeles for fans to discover that their marriage was over. It was teased that they might be reunited in the future, but after all this time, why bother?

3. Kurt and Blaine - Glee

Kurt and blaine glee
Kurt and Blaine were an iconic couple who was very easy to love. However, when it was revealed that Blaine cheated on Kurt, it changed everything. The two did end up getting married, but the relationship felt tainted after Blaine's infidelity.

4. Doug and Carrie - King of Queens

Doug and carrie king of queens
King of Queens was a comedy about Doug and Carrie's married life. They decided to get a divorce right before they're notified that they could adopt a baby from Beijing. Doug and Carrie wound up racing each other to China to claim their child, but eventually realized they were being stupid. They remained married and even had another baby together, but there was way too much unnecessary drama.

5. Chloe and Alek - The Nine Lives of Chloe King

Chloe and alek the nine lives of chloe king
When The Nine Lives of Chloe King got canceled, Chloe was torn between Brian and Alek. The writers wrote a movie script to serve as an end to the series, but the network decided not to produce it. The script was posted online to give fans a sense of closure, and Chloe realized she was in love with Alek. The only problem is that we never got to see their beautiful ending.

6. Jace and Clary - Shadowhunters

Jace and clary shadowhunters
In the series finale, Clary lost all her memories of the Shadow World, which included falling in love with Jace. It was implied in the show's final moments that Jace and Clary would wind up together again, but it was too open-ended for our liking.

Not All TV Shows Needed That Final Season

0
0

A large part of creating a quality TV show is knowing when to wrap it up. 

No writer wants their series to end before the story has been completed, but letting it go on past its natural resolution can tarnish its reputation entirely. 

Networks might still get some views, but is the extra season really worth ruining all the excellence that came before it?

We put together some examples of shows that should've quit while they were ahead. 

Parks and Recreation

parks and rec s7

To be fair, there wasn't anything bad about the final season. It was more unnecessary than anything else. 

Each viewer is different, and some people need that time jump to see where the characters are headed in the future. 

However, it felt off and didn't quite go with the rest of the show. The Parks and Recreation Season 6 finale could have been the perfect stopping point with a few tweaks for closure. 

Fringe

fringe s5

The problem with Fringe Season 5 is that it had no impact on the story, whatsoever. 

It was cool to see what Peter and Olivia's daughter would be like, but everything that happened in the final season was erased in the series finale. 

The only difference is that Walter wasn't there, as he had to sacrifice himself and go to the future during the last few minutes of the show. 

There were definitely some entertaining aspects, but we could've done without it. 

Chuck

chuck s5

No matter which way you look at it, a lot of fans were unhappy with the ending of Chuck. 

Although some hope was offered for Chuck and Sarah in the show's final moments, the last season was heavy with despair. 

Due to Sarah's memory loss, which is never fully resolved, it felt like a completely different show than the one the audience had initially invested in. 

Once Upon a Time

ouat s7

The majority of the time, viewers become invested in the characters more than the story. We care about the story because it affects the people we've become attached to, and we enjoy watching their ups and downs. 

After Once Upon a Time Season 6, the show lost almost all of its essential cast members, making the final season weak and pointless. 

The sixth season would have closed out the series perfectly, with either a few minor adjustments or an additional episode to send the characters back to the Enchanted Forest.

13 Reasons Why 

13 reasons why s4

Forget about the last season, this one didn't need the last three. 

13 Reasons Why should've stayed a mini-series like it was originally intended to be, rather than overstaying its welcome due to its high viewership. 

After Hannah's story was over, it seemed as if the writers were scrambling for more ways to make the characters suffer, and we got tired of watching it. 

The show was no longer about its title, or title character, and just got more hollow and depressing every season. 

The Office

the office s9

By textbook definition, it was an ensemble, but The Office never should have continued after Steve Carell's departure. 

Michael Scott was quite literally the star of the show and the one who forced the characters together in his hilarious attempts at commodity. Although they tried to replace him, no one else could ever live up to Michae's legacy.

The series became boring and bland, and Dwight and Jim's shenanigans were one of the only reasons it didn't fade out completely. 

Veronica Mars 

veronica mars s4

Fans everywhere were ecstatic when Hulu announced they would be producing a Veronica Mars revival

However, the internet ended up in a frenzy when the show decided to bring back the series simply to kill off a main and fan-favorite character. The worst part about the ending was that fans funded the Veronica Mars movie in 2014, in the hopes of getting closure for the leading couple.

The revival shattered everything fans rallied so hard for, making us wish that she show never would've started up again, in the first place. 

The 100 

the 100 s7

The series still has two more episodes before it wraps up for good, and fans are already done with it. 

Not only was Bellamy missing for almost the entirety of the season, but he was uselessly shot and killed by his best friend, leaving fans shocked and outraged. 

For fans who spent the past seven years believing Bellamy and Clarke would end up together, it was a low blow. 

The direction that the series took appeared to have more to do with behind the scenes issues than authentic storytelling, which is one of the reasons viewers have trouble accepting the final season, at all.

Pretty Little Liars

pll s7

There were so many A's we couldn't keep track of them all. It began to reach a point where enough was enough.

Besides a few exceptions, time jumps rarely work well on TV, and Pretty Little Liars was best in a high school setting. The Perfectionists, the Pretty Little Liars spinoff, was set in college, yet only went on for one season. 

The show should have given all the shippers their endgames at the end of Pretty Little Liars Season 6 and called it quits. 

New Girl

new girl s7

Does anyone actually like the final season of New Girl? Considering that it wasn't even supposed to happen, it felt like a forced mess. 

Schmidt and Cece's daughter was probably the only upside, as even Nick and Jess's proposal and wedding was a letdown.

While we did want more of a resolution from Nick and Jess's relationship, after they kissed in what was supposed to be the final shot of the show, their send-off ended up seeming lazy and half-assed. 

The Vampire Diaries 

tvd s8

You could blame The Vampire Diaries' downward spiral on the loss of Elena Gilbert, but, The Vampire Diaries' drop in quality started the moment that Klaus and his family left for New Orleans. 

For many fans, Damon and Elena's relationship kept the show afloat, and Katherine Pierce's presence always upped the entertainment value, but after all that was gone, there was next to nothing left. 

And, to be honest, we could've done without the Steroline storyline. 

What about you, TV Fanatics?

Are there any shows you think overstayed their welcome?

Or do you wish they kept going even longer?

TV's Most Regrettable Farewells: Characters We Never Wanted to Lose

0
0

Character departures are inevitable for most shows.

That doesn't mean we have to like them. Sometimes, a character has to go because it's necessary for the story.

Other times, the actor moves on to a new role, and the character can't continue without them. (That is, unless the actor just gets recast, like when Nathan Parsons took over the role of Kent on True Blood.)

Regrettable Departures Banner - Lost

Now and then, a character's time on a show comes to an end in a way that leaves us brokenhearted and feeling betrayed by the writers.

These exits took us by surprise, and not in a good way.

What's Alex Thinking? - Grey's Anatomy Season 12 Episode 6

Alex Karev's Dear John Letters on Grey's Anatomy

If you ask us, Alex Karev had one of the best character glow-ups of all time, with the kind of character development we can normally only dream about. His transformation from snarky, too-cool-for-school jock to the mature, brilliant man he became was one for the ages.

But sixteen years of hard work to become the peds surgeon we learned to love was all tossed aside when he left behind his entire life -- including his beloved wife, Jo -- to go live with Izzie and the children he never knew he had.

Maybe somewhere out there, some fans were still shipping Izzie and Alex. But most of us were hardcore fans of Jo and Alex, and the way he left her behind with nothing more than a letter and divorce papers was outrageous.

Alex's departure was out of character and painful to witness, and there's not much that could be done to redeem him now that he's gone.

Lovely Lex

Lexie Grey's Crushing Death on Grey's Anatomy

You can't have a list like this with only one Grey's Anatomy mention. Lexie Grey's death was one of the hardest for fans of Grey's Anatomy, and that's saying something -- we've seen some things.

Watching Lexie die horribly crushed under part of an airplane was awful enough, but we had to watch Mark lose the love of his life while he fought his own injuries, and that was just unbearable.

Not even a replacement half-sister in the form of Maggie Pierce could make up for Lexie's gruesome death.

Castiel's Last Stand - Supernatural Season 15 Episode 18

Castiel's Big Confession on Supernatural

Supernatural messed with our heads for many years, and Castiel's big goodbye was no exception.

What the writers were thinking when they threw Castiel into oblivion mere seconds after his bombshell love confession to Dean is beyond us.

Supernatural lacked any real LGBTQ+ representation, and it was hard to see a brief tease of something queer to have it ripped away and never acknowledged again.

Best Dad Ever - This Is Us Season 1 Episode 13

Jack Pearson Goes Up In Smoke on This Is Us

Jack Pearson's death on This Is Us was a major plot point, so we're not saying it was unnecessary, but it was still incredibly painful.

We get that he had to die, but did he have to die like that?

Thankfully, we didn't have to say goodbye to Jack for good because of the show's flashback setup. But watching Rebecca and the Big Three grieve him after his horrible death was harder than we could've imagined, especially since we knew it was coming.

Troy as a Victim

Troy Barnes Sails Away on Community

Troy Barnes was a phenomenal character in his own right, but his friendship with Abed Nadir was the stuff of legends.

It's years later, and we still recall how much this one character meant to the ensemble show.

Losing Troy meant losing Troy and Abed's shenanigans, and the show really lacked something special after that.

Poussey Destroys Inventory

Poussey Washington's Devastating Death on Orange Is The New Black

This one was especially brutal because of the manner in which Poussey was killed. Watching her become a victim of police brutality was extremely difficult for devoted fans.

Poussey was a bright spot on Orange Is The New Black, and after she was gone, there was a tonal shift that the show never recovered from.

Sometimes, character deaths are necessary, but this one wasn't.

Vision - WandaVision Season 1 Episode 7

Vision Gives a Speech on WandaVision

Vision's final speech to Wanda will go down in history as one of the most heartbreaking goodbyes in TV history.

In a heart-wrenching monologue, Vision posits that he and Wanda will be reunited at some point, and our hearts shattered as he disappeared along with the world Wanda created.

It's not often that a superhero show has the emotional intelligence to devastate us like this, but WandaVision pulled it off, for better or worse.

Miller - Station 19 Season 2 Episode 8

Dean Miller's Explosive Exit on Station 19

Having already survived a near-death experience earlier on Station 19, Dean Miller's untimely death caught fans by surprise. His character left behind a young daughter and a grieving firehouse family.

It's true that Shondaland deaths shouldn't be terribly shocking after all these years, but somehow, the hits keep coming and knocking us off our feet.

Dean's death was violent and sad, and we could have done without it.

Return of Coach

Coach Takes On the Big Apple on New Girl

Coach was a fan favorite until he left the show for good to follow his girlfriend, Mae, to New York City for her job.

Fans had already said goodbye to him once, but he returned and joined the cast full-time until he was eventually written out.

We got to see him a couple of times in quick cameos, like for Schmidt and CeCe's wedding and the Brooklyn 99 crossover, but the show was never the same after he left.

Crying In the Bath - Still Up Season 1 Episode 5

Don't mind us; we'll just be drying up our tears at the memories of these horrible goodbyes.

Losing characters is always a gamble. Sometimes, they pay off, and sometimes, they don't, but the show is changed forever regardless.

Let us know in the comments if these got to you, too!
