Best TV Male/Female Duo?

There are so many awesome TV Duos. How can you choose between one?! So here are some of the top qualifiers (In my opinion). 

Male/Female Leads

Booth and Brennan (Bones)

    Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz @David_Boreanaz Twitter)  and Dr. Temperance Brennan or Bones (Emily Deschanel). He's a FBI agent, and she is a forensic anthropologist. Don't be fooled Bones can take care of herself. Known to punch gang members, carry large hand guns (illegally) and solve unsolvable murders, she is a force to be known.

     On the pilot episode we meet Bones a socially awkward, and no nonsense kind of woman. Booth, people person, and defender of the voiceless. Opposites attract? 

     These two are an unlikely pair they fuss, fight, but eventually she agrees to work with him again. We don't know why Bones was angry with Booth until episode 100. In which we find out Booth is in love with her too. They went full circle, square, and triangle. Now finally entering season seven Bones is pregnant with Booth's baby. Yay?! Right? Or is it going to make the show go down hill? 

     Personally I have faith in Hart Hanson (@HartHanson Twitter) I believe he'll reel us viewers back in to the romance from these two. 

     Look at Hodgins (TJ Thyne @TJThyne Twitter) and Angela (Michaela Conlin), I mean we were all on the edge of our seat waiting for them to finally get it together and make it work. If anyone can keep the spark alive, I believe it is Hart Hanson. 

     What will season seven bring? I'm completely at a loss. We have the new Hodgins baby, a pregnancy, and more murders to solve. I can say for sure the season will pick up from the last season. I will have to agree with others in saying season six was a little slow moving, but I think we were just being set up for an awesome seventh season. 

Castle and Beckett (Castle)

Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion @NathanFillion Twitter) and Kate Beckett (Stana Katic @Stana_Katic Twitter).  As a NYPD Homicide Detective Kate Beckett is known to keep it close to the vest. Castle on the other hand is a 26 time New York Best selling author who is bored with what he is doing. Killing off his main character Castle meets the impressionable detective and instantly is smitten with her. Using her as the inspiration for his new character Nikki Heat, Castle weasels his way into her life.  

The witty banter between the two in the first episode caught my attention and held it. It probably didn't hurt that I'm a Nathan Fillion fan. With Beckett constantly teasing Castle, along with his gullible manner the two make a perfect pair. 

When Castle pulled a "Writer" ballistics vest out of the trunk of Beckett's patrol car, I about lost it.  

Season four should bring considerably awesome surprises to the viewer. Season three left off with Castle and Beckett calling it quits through a heart breaking fight before Montgomery was killed. Then Beckett was shot by a sniper, and Castle confessing his love for her. Where do we go from there? Once you say it, it's out there, no do overs. I'm sure it will be handled in a very Castle/Beckett way. Always right?

 Is this the couple that should go all the way? While I want them to get together and be happy, I want them to wait a little be longer before bring the two together. Don't wait until the last season though! If Monica and Chandler can do it they can! Will Beckett's past keep the two apart when Castle has more information on her mother's murder? I'm sure it will, something has to keep them apart right?

In the end, the sexual tension, playful retorts and loyal partnership is definatly one to watch this coming year.  

Chuck and Sarah (Chuck)

     Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi @ZacharyLevi Twitter) and Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski @Y_Strahovski Twitter).

     They did it! Chuck and Sarah finally tied the knot. I'm not going to lie it was a long rough road with a ton of obstacles, but in the end it was worth it. Chuck sure changed in five years. Moving from awkward gamer, to bad a** spy. Was Sarah out of his league? No, I don't think so, but I might have a soft spot for the nerds. Sarah on the other hand went from hard core spy, and secretive to open and loving. Both grew so much it makes re-watching the series a delight in many ways. If anything just to listen to Zachary Levi scream like a girl is worth it.

     I'm sure the adventure to come will be just has funny and silly as it has been in the past. Morgan always brings a smile to the face of the viewer, lets just hope the writers can pull of another great season.

     In the fifth and final season of Chuck there should be a lot of fun. I hear a love interest for Casey, and Morgan looks as though he is shaking things up. The show will be worth watching just to see what the gang is up too. 

Marshall and Mary (In Plain Sight)

Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack @marycmccormac Twitter) and Marshall Mann (Frederic Weller @FredericWeller Twitter).
Marshal Mary Shannon is not the picture perfect person you think of keeping you safe, but her rough personality does the trick on many witnesses. 
Marshal Marshall Mann on the other tends to be the soft touch in the partnership. Taking kids under his wing, and making sure Mary doesn't go over the line . Marshall clearly has loved Mary from the get go, but she seems to be blind to his feelings. After Mary was shot, watching Marshall break down was a gut buster, or tear jerker.
This season however Mary is pregnant, not with Marshall's baby (he has a new girlfriend) but with her ex-husband's child. Definitely not a Bones twist. It is revealed she wants to give the baby up for adoption, however it looks like she is reconsidering in the most recent episode. With the season finally this coming Sunday we still have to find out what will happen with the dynamic duo. 
I personally think this season has been a little disapointing when it comes to Mary/Marshall moments. When we used to get the tension, and I'll always be there for you bits, however from this year the best we have gotten was in the last episode. Marshall telling Mary he will be there for her if she decides to keep the child was sweet, but what happened to these two? I sure hope the season finally makes up for the disappointment of this season so far. Hopefully it will pick up next year, or even give us hope. Who knows. These two do have chemistry though, and I hope it comes back through the writing. 

McNally and Swarek (Rookie Blue)

     Andy McNally (Melissa "Missy" Peregrym @Missy_Peregrym Twitter) and Sam Swarek (Ben Bass). 


She is new, naive, and not ready for what the job has ready for her. Swarek is seasoned, slick, and on top of the job. 

     
In the first episode of Rookie Blue, it's McNally's first day on the job. We meet Swarek when she arrests him and blows his cover. It was definitely not love at first sight, but as time goes on the two gain a great partnership. They almost crossed the line which had viewers begging for them, but it was just a tease. 

     
As of now Andy and Luke got engaged at the begining of the season, that couldn't last right? She is supposed to be with Swarek. Last week McNally figured out that her Knight in Shining Armor, Luke, did the nasty with his old flame and partner Jo. We were left with McNally walking out the door with her bags packed. We were all secretly cheering, while sobbing for her broken heart. 
Can Swarek make his move? I sure hope so for our sanity. 

     Only in it's second season Rookie Blue was renewed for a third season three episodes in. Clearly a hit the dynamics of all of the characters keep the ratings up and the suspense. 

     

There are other notable duos such as Jack Carter and Allison Blake from Eureka, Fringe duos, Warehouse 13 duos, and I'm sure I'll get there some day. However these are top of my list as of now. Don't forget about Bromances, and favorite teams like Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, Criminal Minds, NCIS, NCIS-LA, Bones, Castle, and many others. 


Who is your favorite TV Duo?


Keep the nerd close.

King Out Today!

In honor of King being released today I thought I'd give some love to the boys themselves.

Marc Roberge. Lead singer and rhythmic guitar.

What I like about Marc is his voice is a little different from the mainstream. He doesn't try to be anything but himself. On top of that, he is an amazing lyricist. Twitter @marcroberge         The first time I met this guy he gave my best friend Donna and I the biggest hug. Who does that right? Good guy. We were in San Francisco a couple years back. It was after a show, definitely not the better part of San Francisco. Donna and myself had been chatting with him, when a homeless guy came up and began heckling us. He ran the guy off, asked where we parked, and I'm sure if we hadn't parked close he would have walked us to our car. Awesome big brother? Yeah I think so. You don't get good guys like that anymore these days. 

 Richard On. Main guitarist and backup vocals.

I have to say without a doubt my favorite solo of Richards is in Untitled. I don't have a reason other than it's my favorite. 

Twitter @Richard_On

First time we met Richard. I think it was outside a theater in San Francisco. Not the same one from before. I'm not sure, but I think it was my very first O.A.R. show. Donna was getting all flustered. So hilarious. He was nice and while I made fun of her, he didn't. 

Benj Gershmam the Bass player. 

A year younger from the rest. Considering he spends his days rocking out on stage with his friends one of the most shy people I have ever met. Twitter @lookatlifeman     Benj. Man this guy is incredibly hard to get a photo with or anything for that matter. Don't get me wrong, if you run into him he is all for it, but you have to run into him. He always goes surfing when he comes to California. Well that's what he says :-)

Jerry Depizzo. Sax player (Alto, Tenor, and Bari) Guitar, and Drums. What wont this guy do? Fellow Red Bull drinker. Twitter @jerrydepizzo       Jerry, another good guy. Donna and I were sitting outside HOB Hollywood when he came walking by. I'll never forget what he said "Hey girls" Donna was speechless, myself? I felt young again. I know I look younger than I am, but kinda cool still. He always has a Red Bull on stage, which is pretty awesome. At a show he poured some of his into another one of my friend's drinks. I think Selina. Lol.

Chris Culos the durmmer

 Again also incredibly nice and down to earth. Personally I like the drum break in Lay Down. With himself, Jerry and Mikel Paris. Twitter @chris_culos

Awe Chris. Donna's favorite. I think she just has a soft spot for drummers. In San Diego she got a photo with him outside of HOB. I'd bet you five dollars she is still excited about that.

Mikel Paris. What to say about the unofficial member of O.A.R. For sure he's talented as they come. I wont ask the same question many people ask over and over, why isn't he in the band? Who cares, let the guy be who he wants to be. In my opinion.  Twitter @MikelParis

Mikel. At the same show Marc ran off the homeless guy, Donna got a picture with him. I forgot what I was doing, probably roaming the streets bored sitting around. However from what I was told he got out of the car right where they were standing and he was in a terrible hurry. He stopped and took a photo. 

I have a thousand stories about these great, nice guys. I'm sure most fans have just as wonderful stories of encounters. These days you don't find such down to earth nice people. Hopefully this gained some respect for the guys, go out, buy their new album. I know for sure it's worth it.

For fans to communicate. Be careful here. While the band is incredibly nice some of the fans can be on the opposite side of this. 

Twitter again.

So, catch a show this summer, or fall. Maybe even winter. If they are here in California you can bet your mom's socks I'll be around ready to dance, sing, and have a blast. I have met some amazingly nice people at O.A.R. shows. We all meet before the show now, carpool, hangout, and most of all attend shows together.

To Selina, Betsy, Dave, Chris, Donna, Angel, and anyone else enjoy the release. 

Congrats to O.A.R. for an amazing album.

Keep the nerd close.
