I liked them better before they became a couple. Their relationship was all about the UST, and once that ended, so did all the fun in their characters.
My first thought on seeing the thread title was Paul & Jamie. I'm SO frustrated that the DVD seasons stopped after season 3. Others: Dan & Katie Vasser, Journeyman John Crichton & Aeryn Sun, Farscape Jim & Pam, The Office Johnny & Sharon, Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place John Danziger & Devon Adair, Earth 2 Will Riker & Deanna Troi, Star Trek: The Next Generation Oz & Willow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Simon & Kaylee, Firefly Wash & Zoe, Firefly Kirby & Dorothy Jane, The Torklesons Tucker & Becca, Flash Forward
When I was very young I thought that mum and dad Huxtable were the best couple around. I thought they were wonderful. Later I saw Luke and Laura from General Hospital as a great couple. Now, I wonder why because they did the most cruel things to each other. Now I would say SF wise: Delenn and Sheridan (B5) Troi and Riker Picard and Crusher (I know, they never strictly were a couple but I wanted it so much) And non SF wise: Dennis and Sharon on Eastenders (well, he's dead now and technically they were more or less related but I still think they were really cute together) Turk and Carla on Scrubs

Another very believable sibling pair I liked: Simon and River, Firefly. Non-romantic friendship: Mal and Zoe, Firefly.

Thanks for reminding me. I love those two. There is a scene in Serenity when he's looking after her that just breaks my heart.
