About This Quiz

Since most Americans began owning their own television sets, shows have helped to shape pop culture, bringing afternoon specials, soap operas, comedies and movies into our homes. Soon water-cooler conversations were all about the latest hit show. And though the entertainment industry has evolved and we consume entertainment differently, there are still shows we all know and love.

What makes them so special? First and foremost, the characters. In particular, we tend to find couples the most enduring. Seeing a TV couple that can love each other despite their imperfections, bickering, foolishness and the challenges they face is immensely reassuring. It gives us catharsis as we laugh upon seeing our own foibles reflected back to us, and it reminds us that no relationship is perfect. From long-married couples to newlyweds to on-again, off-again romances that eventually sort themselves out, we have fallen in love with all sorts of dynamic duos.That's because, deep down, we can see a bit of ourselves in them.

So curious to know which television couple you and your honey are most like? Just answer these quiz questions, and you'll have your answer in no time!
