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).
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.
