Which tv or movie couple had the best chemistry?
Like Scully and Mulder,as an example,so not necessarily a "couple".

2. Well, there was Max and 99.
For starters.

Rob and Laura Petry were good together.

Don't forget Ward and June Cleaver.

And there was Bruce Willis and the girl from Moonlighting.

Also, tony Curtis and Natalie Woods in The Great Race.

30. I loved that second movie, though, when they were no longer on the run.
It was great seeing them settled down and happy. It was the perfect ending to the series.

For a while I wanted them to do a 2012 final showdown sort of movie, but I really like the way it ended and would prefer to see them stand pat.

41. Chris Carter was going to do a 2012 ending
He wanted to do the freak movie first and then the story movie but the freak movie didn't do so well so who knows if they do the 2012 ending.

16. Remington Steele
Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist. Also that show with Jane Seymour as a doctor out west -- can't remember the name. Forgot my gingko today...

Seems like the shows where the possibility of "sumpin's gonna happen" between the two leads have the most chemistry.

28. Dan & Roseanne. Among current tv shows, I really like the couple from "Medium"
They're no Sawyer and Juliet, but I really like seeing a healthy marriage with healthy arguments and earned stress lines still have a strong sexy vibe to them.

Yeah, I know. Even still, if not for the mix of chemistry, that show may have well died quickly.

all about horse riding. Could it have been about some other kind of "riding"?
