Best TV Couple of All Time - Final Four

 



And then there were four.  And these four have mostly dominated on their way to the Final Four.  So now we are left with a couple heavyweight matchups to determine who will battle for the championship.  I don't think any of the remaining four are much of a surprise either.  And since it appears that many of you voting have been rooting for these four along the way, it will be interesting to see who ends up on top.  So with that, let's vote.

Best TV Couple Bracket - Elite Eight

 



And now we are down to eight and it is becoming clear who the favorites are.  The last round had no really competitive matchups, so this round so should either be really close or further show which couples are dominating.  There also weren't any real upsets in the last round, but we did lose both Friends couples, which I guess is a surprise.  And now we vote to determine the Final Four.

Best TV Couple of All Time - Sweet Sixteen

 



Just like that, we are down to the Sweet Sixteen. The second round saw mostly higher seeds win their matchups, but there were a few upsets, including our first 1-seed to go down.  Coach and Tami are a great couple, but apparently they were no match for Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky.  New Girl lost one of its pairs, but Schmidt and Cece are still going strong.  And Friends still has two couples in the running, with some difficult matchups coming up.  And, sadly, Zack and Kelly couldn't beat their fellow 90s teen couple Corey and Topanga.  But only one bracket has the top four seeds remaining, which means more chaos could be on the way.  So let's get to the vote and see what happens.

Best TV Couple of All Time - Second Round

 



And just like that we are into the second round.  And already there are surprises and upsets.  Eight double digit seeds advanced out of the first round, including a 15 seed knocking out a 2 seed.  There's a good mix of older shows and newer shows represented and lots of intriguing matchups.  However, if you are a fan of This is Us or Glee, both shows that had two couples represented in the bracket, you will be disappointed to find out that both couples from both shows have been eliminated.  New Girl and Friends are the only shows to have both of their couples advance, while The Office and Parks and Rec each lost one.  There also weren't a lot of close results in the first round with only 7 matchups decided by five votes or less.  I'm curious to see how that plays out in the second round.  So with that, let's get to the voting.

Best TV Couple of All Time Bracket - First Round

 


It's time for my yearly March Madness pop culture edition!  This year we are venturing into the world of TV to determine the best TV couple of all time.  And, as always, you get to vote to select the winner.  Normally I give a long post about how I created the bracket and who was included and who wasn't, but I've got a newborn this year and I'm a little sleep deprived so we're going to keep this short.  Basically I looked at a lot of lists from entertainment magazines and websites of best TV couples and used those to create my list and seedings.  I limited it to two couples per show, so there were some prominent couples that got left out.  I also tried to include every suggestion I got when I asked last year to make sure that you know your voice is heard.  But enough of the boring stuff, let's get to the bracket.  You can vote below and see the entire bracket at the bottom.
