The Best Male/Female Friendships on TV

Is anyone else totally sick of the Harry Met Sally lameness that rears its ugly head in every single television show where heterosexual characters of the opposite gender hang out together? The New York Times certainly is, judging by their recent op-ed about platonic relationships in pop culture, but that hasn’t stopped the entertainment industry from constantly turning friends into lovers. In fact, they’re so common that they’re starting to make us long for more tension-free guy-on-girl friendships. These relationships are few and far between, but they’re out there, and we’ve got a list of our favorite examples on TV. Tell us yours in the comments. src

some of this list is ridonkulous tbhCollapse )

But I thought Jesse & Nick had something going, or were going to?


AND I'm watching Veronica Mars right now, lol. I liked her friendship with Weavil too. Him and Wallace were awesome.

Weevil was amazing but I totally feel like Weevil had more than platonic feelings for veronica.

i feel like liz and jack are reluctant friends.

definitely love leslie and ron - unlike liz and jack, they have/show respect for one another. same with don and peggy (and joan). i hope they don't go down the relationship road.

i sort of want to add jeff/britta on here, but i can't tell whether they like or hate each other.

do you have a brother and sister relationship with your best friend?
One of my guy friends go over to my house all the time that he's practically my brother. I call him big brother in my language.
jackal_onassis 17th-Apr-2012 02:47 am (UTC)

randomtasks 17th-Apr-2012 02:48 am (UTC)
Yeah, my 2 best friends are guys and our relationship is very sibling-ish.

No. He's my g-hub.
bizbooliz 17th-Apr-2012 02:51 am (UTC)
Yes, my best friend is a guy and people have always assumed we were siblings. It helps that we kinda look alike too.
ohloverx 17th-Apr-2012 02:52 am (UTC)
Yep! My best guy friend is like a brother to me and was even my best man at my wedding! Even my mom calls my BFF her son!
amazingtime 17th-Apr-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
Yup. I'm the brother and she's the sister.

I luv my best friend, she's awesome
ayedel 17th-Apr-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
yup. too bad he moved away but we were practically brother/sister back then and we still act like one when he comes back to town.
letmypidgeonsgo 17th-Apr-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
No...but IDK how to describe it.

I don't have any sibs, but my one cousin is the closest thing I have to a brother.

Also, the writer must have missed the terrible mess of the last season the Guild when they tried to push Codex/Zaboo from Codex's side. Ugh, no thank you.
