Who do you consider the best couples you enjoyed watching on Television? Couples who really made a mark with the audience portraying their characters on a TV series?
Here are some of my favorites:
1. I Dream of Jeannie: Major Anthony Nelson and Jeannie
2. Bewitched: Samantha and Darrin Stephens
3. The Honeymooners: Alice and Ralph Kramden
4. The Office: Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert
5. The X-Files: Fox Mulder and Dana Scully
I'm sure you've come across a few favorites over your years of TV watching. So, whose on your list and why?

There are a lot of TV families out there. One I found I enjoyed was the Danny Thomas show. It was good clean entertainment, and his endorsement of St. Jude Children's Hospital by himself while he was alive, and now his daughter, Marlow, is wonderful and selfless and has helped thousands of children.

Danny Thomas is nearly totally forgotten now. It's a real shame.

Excellent picks 
Both huge favorites of mine and shows I always watched... Another sitcom I liked with good couple chemistry was "Moonlighting" with David Addison Jr. and Maddie Hayes. (Bruce Willis & Cybil Shepard)

That's a great list and the commenters have come with more good choices. The only ones I can think of to add off the top of my head are Max and 99 from Get Smart. Herman and Lily Munster from The Munsters. And Steven and Elyse Keaton from Family Ties.

@dgobucks226 I had nearly forgotten about Sookie. I was never crazy about True Blood but I do love Sookie so I have no problem adding her and Bill.

Great additions and terrific sitcoms! Max and 99 from Get Smart was a must watch for me. Wow, that brings back some memories Loved the Munsters Guess we could add Morticia and Gomez from the Addams Family too, lol. For current Monster type views we put True Blood: Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse on that list

I Dream of Jeannie: Major Anthony Nelson and Jeannie, Bewitched: Samantha and Darrin Stephens, Roseanne: Roseanne Conner and Dan Conner, and Al and Peg Bundy, Married With Children. I also would add The Cosby Show: Cliff Huxtable and Clair Huxtable. (I know Bill Cosby is bad, but he was really good on the original show)
