Please note: I do not watch very much TV nor do I watch older shows, so this list will be very limited. However, I do believe some of these love stories deserve to be on here regardless.
Number 10
Doug and Carrie
The King of Queens
Doug and Carrie's relationship was not always the best. With early disapprovals of her father and later dilemmas, resulting in a separation, Doug and Carrie never truly had it easy. Even so, they pushed through all the obstacles and eventually ended up with each other.
Number 9
Sabrina and Harvey
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Throughout the entire series, it was clear that Sabrina and Harvey were soul mates. But despite repeated attempts at dating, it seemed that everything was trying to keep them apart. In the series finale, Sabrina ultimately leaves the altar from her almost husband and takes off on a motorcycle with Harvey, finally admitting what destiny was pushing for the entire series.
Number 8
Niles and Daphne
Frasier
I do not actually watch Frasier, but this couple was requested by Riley. As I do not watch the show, I do not have an explanation for you, but I'm sure they have a great love story.
Number 7
Eric and Donna
That 70's Show
Eric and Donna were always that teenage couple out to have fun and experience the world around them. While their ambitions kept them apart on multiple occasions, they ultimately pushed passed it and were even able to maintain a long-distance relationship once Eric moved away.
Number 6
Monica and Chandler
Friends
At the start of the series, I'm sure very few would have expected this couple to go such a long way. Chandler and Monica are literally complete opposites, yet somehow, they were able to maintain one of the most stable and loving relationships on television. They are a true example of how love works in mysterious ways, but always prevails.
Number 5
Ted and Robin
How I Met Your Mother
You are probably thinking that this is an odd one, considering that Ted and Robin do not end up with one another. However, this list is not the Top 10 Best Couples, it is the Top 10 Best Love Stories, and Ted and Robin are essential parts of one another's love stories. The entire show is about Ted's relationship with Robin. Everything he has gone through, all the pain and heartbreak, has all stemmed because Ted could not let Robin go. Ted could not settle for anything less than the best, and Robin was always the best. The universe, the fans and Ted all want Robin to be the Mother, but the fact of the matter is, she is not Ted's soulmate. No matter how much we love her, or he loves her, they are not meant to be. That is why this love story is so great, because the only person who could ever make Ted move on from Robin will be his soulmate.
Number 4
Rachel and Finn
Glee
Love stories do not always have a happy ending. Although this couple was planned on being endgame, the tragic death of Cory Monteith forced a more realistic love story: that sometimes we lose the ones who we love. The story of Rachel and Finn quickly turned from a sweet, high school sweetheart story into a tragic one. Rachel, despite how much she loved Finn, will never end up with him. As Rachel described in his Tribute episode, Finn was "her person," and she cannot see life without him. This is what makes this love story unlike any other on TV, because it is unfortunately realistic. Even though you plan to love someone your whole life, they might not be there for its entirety, and even though they are gone, you will never stop loving them, because even death cannot truly stand in the way of love.
Number 3
Fry and Leela
Futurama
This one may come as a huge surprise to many, mostly because Futurama is a dedicated comedy. However, the one time Futurama strays from comedy is for love. For example, the episode where Leela falls into a coma and believes Fry has died was an emotional rollarcoaster. This show, despite all its humour, could really touch a person with this love story. Even though Leela could never see it at first, Fry was always willing to do anything for her. He was always willing to be her soulmate, and she did not realize it until she almost lost him.
Number 2
Cory and Topanga
Boy Meets World
I do not have the full story of Cory and Topanga, as I never truly watched the entirety of the series, but just from the small amount I watched, I could tell they were one of the best couples on TV. While I do not know specifics, I know that Cory and Topanga fought hard for their love, even when it seemed lost, and that by the end of the series, Boy met World, Boy saw the World and Boy chose Girl, because love is stronger than any ambition.
Number 1
Ross and Rachel
Friends
The classic TV love story. I have said this for so many of the other couples, but Rachel and Ross truly did not have it easy. They had the rockiest road of any couple on this list. Part of the reason they could never truly settle was because both were too ambitious and could never truly stop pursuing their dreams. But despite this, at the very end, Rachel was finally able to stop and wait for Ross, so that they could stop denying what they truly felt in their hearts.
