TV Couples

Well, the 2012-13 season of TV is essentially over, and it's time to rate the most important aspect of television following:  couples that I ship.  I don't bother shipping couples that are already married or seriously-committed or Castle and Beckett, because that's boring.  But here they are, the top five couples that I shipped on the TV shows that I watched this season.

5.  Nick and Jess (New Girl, Fox):  When Nick and Jess first happened, I was like "Yes!  Nick and Jess are happening!"  Now, I could go either way.  I'm pretty sure that the only reason that it's not going to be a total disaster is because it's fictional TV.  Regardless, they have amazing chemistry.

4.  Tony and Ziva (NCIS, CBS):  Tony and Ziva (or "Tiva") go beyond "will-they-won't-they?"  With Tony and Ziva, it's "are-they-aren't-they?" or "have-they-haven't-they?"  A few years ago, they'd be higher than fourth place, but they're frustrating me to no end right now.  Just freaking step it up already!  The show's in its tenth season; if there were sharks to be jumped, they'd be jumped by now.

3.  Monroe and Rosalie (Grimm, NBC):  Monroe and Rosalie are freaking adorable.  They make quirky Portland interspecies dating work.  And I love that Monrosalie moments on Grimm are so few and far between because it makes each little moment so much more endearing.

2.  Reggie Jackson and Amber Weaver (The Neighbors, ABC):  Can I tell you how happy I am that The Neighbors got renewed for a second season?  This show is fantastic, and Reggie and Amber kissed!  And now we'll get to see them kiss more!  Although they're probably going to break up for a bit because they're teenagers and things will be super awkward but then they'll go to some big school dance together and realize that they'll love each other forever (or until the whole Reggie-isn't-human reality sets in).

1.  Danny and Mindy (The Mindy Project, Fox):  Oh my gosh, Danny and Mindy.  They win first place and they're not even a real couple.  But come on, he so loves her.  If there were a "Danny unnecessarily touches some part of Mindy's body" drinking game, and if I drank, I would have some severe pre-cirrhosis right now.  And holy crap the season finale.  That season finale made me want to chop off all my hair and walk around with smudged glasses all the time just so I can reenact that scene at the end with my--oh wait--I have no men in my life.

And while I'm on the subject, let's talk about couples that I'm so over:  Jeff and Annie (Community, NBC); Jeff and Britta (Community, NBC); any of the billion coupling permutations on Glee (Fox); and Ted and The Mother (HIMYM, CBS).
