00:00But I didn't, because somehow I just knew this was all gonna work out.
00:04Ted!
00:05Oh, thank God.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the TV smooches we waited seasons for.
00:14If you're into will-they, won't-they shows, be aware there's some swoon-worthy spoilers ahead.
00:20You think you knew I was here?
00:25Number 50.
00:27Devi Vishwakumar and Ben Gross.
00:30Never Have I Ever.
00:32You stayed?
00:34Yeah.
00:35I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
00:39Put a finger down if you wanted these two to just kiss and get it over with.
00:43It's a rom-com tale as old as time.
00:45And really, who doesn't love a good enemies to lovers?
00:49While Devi had plenty of love interests to go around,
00:52it seemed like Ben's chance might have sailed when he leaned in for a kiss and was promptly rejected.
00:58Whoa!
01:00Were you just trying to kiss me?
01:02Uh, no.
01:04Yes, I'm sorry.
01:05I don't know what I was thinking.
01:07But that just made the real thing all the sweeter.
01:10Coming at the tail end of a perfectly dramatic first season,
01:13Devi and Ben finally come to terms with their feelings and lock lips.
01:17After the early fake-out, this romantic culmination left us chomping at the bit for season two.
01:28Number 49.
01:29Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bain.
01:32Shadowhunters.
01:33Besides, you have emissaries from the clave to me.
01:36You don't want to tarnish your family's perfectly crafted image now, do you?
01:4112 episodes may not seem like that long, but trust us when we say it felt like an eternity.
01:47Fans of the book series had been waiting years for a true adaptation of Alec and Magnus' romance.
01:53And no, that awful live-action movie doesn't count.
01:56So as you can imagine, Malick's shippers were practically frothing at the mouth from their very first scene.
02:02And then they waited.
02:03And waited.
02:04And waited.
02:05Until a finale kiss that hit all the right notes.
02:08Book fans were long overdue for a true live-action Malick moment.
02:12But they can rest easy knowing that good things come to those who wait.
02:21Number 48.
02:22Zoe Hart and Wade Kinsella.
02:25Heart of Dixie.
02:26You know, it's not like I never thought about having sex with you.
02:31It's just, what's the point?
02:33When a big city doctor moves to middle-of-nowhere Dixie,
02:36it's only natural she starts a mild flirtation with the smoking-hot bartender Wade.
02:41What we didn't expect is that we'd be left waiting an entire 22-episode season
02:46before they'd finally seal the deal.
02:49Rock bottom.
02:51I just played Dixie with my butt.
02:53It's clear from the pilot that Zoe and Wade have serious chemistry.
02:57But Heart of Dixie commits to the slow burn until it all spills over in the first season finale.
03:02Hey, at least we can say it was worth the wait.
03:05The barn?
03:05The moonlight?
03:06The longing looks?
03:07Be still our hearts.
03:08That's H-E-A-R-T, Heart, by the way.
03:15Hey, you're doing okay?
03:17Number 47.
03:18Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt.
03:20Parks and Recreation.
03:22I really like your shirt.
03:23So I'd like to talk about where you think there's waste within your department.
03:28Where do I start?
03:29If there's one thing Pawnee's deputy P&D director loves more than rules, it's Ben.
03:35However, the department's strict no-dating policy meant we all had to suffer through over half a season of will they, won't they.
03:41This wait was particularly painful because of how obvious it was that Ben and Leslie were endgame material.
03:47Thankfully, the two didn't let the pesky rules stop them for long, and they took advantage of a road trip to finally give us the smooch we'd all been waiting for.
04:02Even though it took several episodes longer than we wanted, we have to admit that cabin kiss was steamy.
04:07Oh, hey.
04:09Hey.
04:09Chris just wanted me to drop off these receipts.
04:11Oh, well, he's not here.
04:13He took off.
04:14Okay.
04:19Number 46.
04:21Aang and Katara.
04:22Avatar, the Last Airbender.
04:24No, no.
04:25I mean, if it was a choice between kissing you and dying.
04:29Oh!
04:30What?
04:30I'm saying I would rather kiss you than die.
04:33That's a compliment.
04:33Given that these two wandered into a tunnel literally called the Cave of Two Lovers,
04:39we were ready to riot if it didn't end with them finally acting on their feelings.
04:43Not like we'd already been waiting an entire season or anything.
04:47Luckily, Avatar delivered.
04:49After an episode that not so subtly left the two isolated from the rest of the crew,
04:53Aang and Katara end up leaning in just as their lanterns go out.
05:03We may not technically see the kiss, but at that point,
05:08the implication was still enough to send fans into a frenzy.
05:11The way the two are left blushing afterwards is so cute, we almost can't handle it.
05:16How did you guys get out?
05:18Just like the legend says, we let love lead the way.
05:21Really?
05:22We let huge, ferocious beasts lead our way.
05:25Number 45.
05:26Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson.
05:28Glee.
05:29I'm impressed.
05:31You're usually so top 40.
05:32Well, I just wanted something a little more emotional.
05:36After being tormented in class, switching schools, and joining a new Glee club,
05:41Kurt Hummel finally meets the man of his dreams, Blaine.
05:44But then the show rudely spends two-thirds of the second season
05:47depriving us of the clean kiss we all wanted to see.
05:51I didn't stand up.
05:53I let bullies chase me away, and it is something that I really, really regret.
06:01Just when you think it may not be in the cards, Blaine leans in, and history was made.
06:06Given everything Kurt went through because of his sexuality,
06:09seeing him experience true queer joy is something special.
06:12There's a reason Klain remains such a beloved couple,
06:15and most of it is because of how moving this first kiss is.
06:29Number 44.
06:30Sam Malone and Diane Chambers.
06:33Cheers.
06:34Sam, you talk a lot about our having a dalliance,
06:37but I've always been told that barking dogs don't bite.
06:40Biting, is that what you're into?
06:41One of the most on-again, off-again couples in TV history,
06:46it's surprising to learn Sam and Diane were decidedly off for the show's entire first season.
06:52While they're pairing divided audiences,
06:55you can't help but root for their union in these early days,
06:58especially when Diane goes out with Sam's brother,
07:01causing all sorts of jealous friction.
07:03Derek just wants to fly me out to Martha's vineyard tonight.
07:10In a plane or on his back?
07:13But like all great TV romances,
07:15that tension leads them both into the bar's office,
07:18where the two finally put their money where their mouth is.
07:21Somewhat literally.
07:22Even if you don't think Sam and Diane are meant to be,
07:25there's no denying the infectious energy of this inaugural hookup.
07:29Are you as turned on as I am?
07:30More.
07:34Number 43.
07:36Ross Geller and Rachel Green.
07:38Friends.
07:39I didn't get a cat.
07:43Oh, that's, um, interesting.
07:47No, no, it's not interesting.
07:49Long before viewers wondered if they were on a break or not,
07:52Ross and Rachel were just unlikely neighbors.
07:55Unlikely neighbors with a whole lot of romantic tension, that is.
07:58The early days of Friends made a habit of slightly nudging the two together
08:01in a painfully teasing fashion.
08:04To the point, they technically kiss partway through the first season.
08:07It's more out of instinct than true lust,
08:10and over a pile of laundry,
08:12so a lot of fans don't count it as the start of their relationship.
08:15A brand new woman, ladies and gentlemen.
08:17Thank you, thank you.
08:18I could not have done this without you.
08:20That wouldn't come until the following season,
08:28where we get a true lover's confession.
08:30Either way, both moments deliver payoff in spades.
08:33Maybe we should do a story on Oxycontin use in the administration office.
08:52Okay, pirate.
08:53Even Neptune's teen detective extraordinaire
08:55couldn't solve the mystery of her feelings for resident jerkwad Logan.
08:59As it turns out, he felt the same.
09:02And the two spent most of the first season
09:04masking their affection behind a metric ton of snark.
09:07But when Logan comes to Veronica's aid
09:09during a particularly dangerous investigation,
09:12the adrenaline finally gets the two to drop their guard.
09:17You okay?
09:19Mm-hmm.
09:19Before they have time to think, they kiss.
09:28And boy, is it one for the record books.
09:30The swooping camera and handsy movements
09:32release an entire season of pent-up crushing
09:35in one glorious moment.
09:36If you didn't ship them before,
09:38this kiss is guaranteed to make you a true believer.
09:41It's all of me, all to all, but isn't this just...
09:49Number 41.
09:50Fran Fine and Max Sheffield.
09:53The Nanny.
09:53New York's 10 most eligible widowers?
09:56My condolences, by the way.
09:59You read Esquire?
10:01When they list the 10 most eligible widowers, I do.
10:05Workplace relationships don't always work out.
10:07But in the case of The Nanny, it's kind of the whole show.
10:10From the moment Fran signs up to help the Sheffields,
10:13we're left waiting for her and Max to get together.
10:16And if you could, you'd get down on your hands and knees
10:18and apologize.
10:19It's fine.
10:21Apology accepted.
10:22Ma, peck my things, he wants me back.
10:24We'd be waiting a bit, though, even for their first kiss.
10:27It comes at the end of the first season,
10:29when the two are high off a successful scheme.
10:31It's quick, and the two quickly brush it off,
10:34but the feelings are there despite it all.
10:36While their romance feels inevitable nowadays,
10:39at the time, this was the first real moment
10:41we knew Fran and Max were going to be lovebirds.
10:44Oh, thank you, Miss Fine.
10:48Oh, thank you.
10:52Number 40.
10:53Eleanor Shellstrop and Chidi Anagonye.
10:56The good place.
10:58I'm Chidi Anagonye,
10:59and you are my soulmate.
11:04Cool.
11:05Bring it in, man.
11:07Kristen Bell has a thing for great TV kisses, huh?
11:10This time, she's trapped in the afterlife with Chidi,
11:13whose uptight personality is in direct contrast
11:15with Eleanor's self-serving attitude.
11:18But that's part of the reason they make such a great match.
11:21Despite their differences,
11:22the show spends two whole seasons building their dynamic
11:25into something impossibly sweet.
11:27Then, when faced with the end of existence,
11:30Chidi throws caution to the wind
11:31in order to snap Eleanor out of her funk.
11:34Hey, man.
11:35What's up?
11:41The good place's restraint
11:43to wait until the end of the second season
11:45turns this long-overdue declaration
11:47into a perfect romantic release.
11:49Hot diggity dog.
11:52Oh, no.
11:53Now the thing I said right after we kissed
11:55will always be hot diggity dog.
11:57Whatever.
11:58It was an honest reaction.
11:59I stand by it.
12:00Number 39.
12:01Adora and Catra.
12:03She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
12:06Why are you looking at me like that?
12:07Wait.
12:08No.
12:09I know what this is about.
12:11I knew you'd be weird about me letting you escape.
12:14I told you it's not because I like you.
12:16I mean, I didn't say anything.
12:18Our sincerest condolences to fans of this couple.
12:21She-Ra really made you wait for it.
12:23We're talking five whole seasons.
12:25And even then, Adora and Catra
12:27only act on their feelings
12:29in the literal last episode of the show.
12:31That's some major buildup.
12:32And we have to admit, it was pretty agonizing.
12:35Don't you get it?
12:36I love you.
12:38I always have.
12:39So please, just this once, stay.
12:43But at least the payoff was a slam dunk.
12:48Facing the end of the world is a perfect time
12:50for a dazzling act of passion.
12:52Then exchanging I love yous though?
12:54That was just the icing on the top.
12:56We'd gladly wait another five seasons
12:58if it meant we get a romance as fulfilling
13:00as Adora and Catra's.
13:02Number 38
13:13Eve Palastri and Villanelle
13:15Killing Eve
13:16Detective and killer
13:24Cat and mouse
13:25Call them what you will.
13:26The fact of the matter is that Eve and Villanelle
13:28had so much chemistry
13:30it almost hurt to see them on opposite sides.
13:32Killing Eve seemed to relish in our suffering
13:35stretching out their obvious affection
13:37across not just one, but two seasons.
13:40You can hold on to it if it makes you feel better.
13:44It got to the point where it almost seemed
13:46like the two would never get the kiss they deserved.
13:49Then in the third season
13:50the two run into each other
13:52and finally let the sparks fly.
13:54For all their issues and obstacles
13:56in this one moment
13:57Eve and Villanelle simply loved each other.
14:00And you can't get better than that.
14:04You've got this strange effect on me
14:09Number 37
14:11Jack Shepard and Kate Austin
14:13Lost
14:14If you see or hear anything
14:17anything
14:18run
14:23You'd think being stranded on a mysterious island
14:26together would be the perfect time
14:28to release your inhibitions.
14:29However, Jack and Kate
14:31aren't exactly the most emotionally mature
14:33and him and ha around their attraction
14:35for a full season and a half.
14:37For the record, these are network seasons
14:39meaning diehards were glued to their screens
14:41for over 30 hour-length episodes
14:43before seeing this kiss.
14:46I was actually thinking that I should stay
14:48and watch Sawyer.
14:50I'll stay with him.
14:52You should be there.
14:54While it's not exactly glamorous
14:55they are still on an island.
14:57Lost's first real romance
14:59is undeniably sexy.
15:01Later, Kate apologizes for letting her impulses
15:04get the better of her.
15:04But Jack says he isn't sorry.
15:07Neither are we for the record.
15:15Number 36
15:17Sydney Bristow and Michael Vaughn
15:19Alias
15:20Duty, professionalism, and actual criminals
15:23all stand in between
15:24Sydney Bristow and Michael Vaughn.
15:26That's probably why it took them
15:2835 episodes to say what they mean.
15:30And as they say
15:31actions speak louder than words.
15:33People that would kill us
15:35if we were seen together.
15:36The Alliance SD6-Sloan
15:37are the very forces
15:38that brought you into my life
15:40to begin with.
15:41What kind of a sick joke is that?
15:42Let's just say the two celebrate
15:44the supposed end of Big Bad SD6
15:46with some old-fashioned R&R.
15:49It's about damn time, that's for sure.
15:51Even if the two hadn't finished their mission
15:53we could only take so many false starts
15:55and longing looks
15:56before our hearts would explode.
15:58A season and a half of pining
16:00isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.
16:02But this scene is so good
16:04it almost makes it worth it.
16:14Number 35
16:15Mindy Lahiri and Danny Castellano
16:18The Mindy Project
16:19And I'm sorry about what I said about Cliff.
16:22You weren't lucky to be with him
16:23he was lucky to be with you.
16:25In a show almost entirely
16:26about balancing one's personal
16:28and professional life
16:29you would have thought Mindy
16:30would at least peck her love interest
16:32in the first season.
16:33You would be wrong though.
16:35In fact, it takes halfway into season 2
16:37before Mindy and Danny
16:38finally make a move.
16:39Danny?
16:40Yes!
16:41Who did you think it was?
16:43Cliff, obviously!
16:44Oh, give me a break with Cliff!
16:46I'm lost in the desert right now
16:47and I'm drunk!
16:48Even though it feels needlessly drawn out
16:50we have to give credit for them
16:52doing it in an airplane.
16:53And to be fair
16:54it's not like Mindy was struggling
16:55for romantic partners before this.
16:58Still, The Mindy Project
16:59knew exactly what kiss we wanted to see
17:01and withholding it for nearly 40 episodes
17:04was just plain mean.
17:05Hey, Danny, all these waters look the same.
17:07I just don't.
17:13Number 34
17:14Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker
17:17Chuck
17:19You don't have to thank me.
17:20It's my job to protect you.
17:22What about when it's not your job?
17:25What happens to us then?
17:28If you want to be pedantic
17:29technically Chuck got to kiss
17:31drop-dead gorgeous Sarah
17:32in episode 9.
17:34They were both undercover though
17:35and since there wasn't
17:36any real romantic intent behind it
17:38most fans don't count
17:39the start of their relationship
17:40until the very end of season 2
17:42some 30 episodes later.
17:45Trust us
17:45it was worth the delay.
17:47The two are preparing
17:47for the end of the world
17:48so they don't just kiss
17:50they end up spending
17:51the whole night together
17:52for a sensual rendezvous
17:53to remember.
17:54So how does it feel?
17:55It feels great actually
17:59like everything is
18:01finally real.
18:04It is real.
18:06If you're going to make us
18:07wait two full seasons
18:08for a hookup
18:09take a cue from Chuck
18:10and make it worthwhile.
18:16Number 33
18:17Midge Maisel
18:18and Lenny Bruce
18:19The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
18:21Divorce is no laughing matter
18:33but you simply have to laugh
18:34at the turn of events here.
18:36Midge's husband
18:37leaves her in the pilot
18:38and despite some very overt
18:39flirting with Lenny
18:40the two don't lock lips
18:42until the end of season 4.
18:44I was a complete ass.
18:46I'm very sorry.
18:47I had forgotten all about it.
18:48You still sound mad.
18:50Lenny please.
18:50Midge you have to forgive me.
18:52You heard that right.
18:53For four seasons
18:54we waited for these two
18:55to finally get together.
18:56And even then
18:57it came at the tail end
18:58of the finale
18:59meaning we had to wait
19:00another year
19:01for the fallout.
19:02Still we can't lie
19:03it is one hell of a kiss.
19:05It almost makes
19:05the four years of pining
19:06worth it.
19:07Almost.
19:09Just like mine.
19:10I'd like to add
19:13his initial
19:13to my monogram.
19:17Number 32
19:19Alexis Rose
19:20and Ted Mullins
19:21Schitt's Creek
19:22I'm
19:23very happy
19:25with the job
19:25that you're doing.
19:27And I
19:28I don't like having you.
19:30A little bit of Alexis
19:31goes a long way
19:32but three seasons
19:34is stretching it.
19:35While David and Patrick
19:36are simply the best
19:37they only lasted
19:38a respectable season
19:40before locking lips.
19:48Ted and Alexis
19:49left us waiting
19:50triple that.
19:51It's crazy
19:52when you realize
19:52the two had been longing
19:53for one another
19:54ever since their
19:55season 1 breakup.
19:56Even working together
19:57at the vet clinic.
19:58Yet somehow
19:59Schitt's Creek
20:00deprived romance lovers
20:01of their true relationship
20:02for literal years.
20:04The show's commitment
20:05to playing the long game
20:06did make for one
20:07of the sweetest
20:08love confessions
20:08in recent memory.
20:10So we can't be too mad.
20:11But man
20:12making it through
20:12those early seasons
20:13was rough.
20:20Number 31
20:21Matthew Casey
20:22and Sylvie Brett
20:23Chicago Fire
20:24As hot and passionate
20:35as an actual fire
20:36Firehouse 51
20:38fought against
20:38burgeoning feelings
20:39between its residents
20:40for a really long time.
20:42Like six years long.
20:44Casey and Brett
20:55had been eyeing
20:56one another
20:56since the latter's
20:57introduction in season 3.
20:59But a series of
20:59other romantic
21:00entanglements
21:01delayed the inevitable
21:02postponing their kiss
21:03until an ambulance
21:04accident in season 9.
21:06For those who
21:07aren't great at math
21:08that means this kiss
21:09was six seasons
21:10in the making.
21:11While we wish
21:12it didn't take
21:13Brett being in
21:13mortal danger
21:14at least the results
21:15forced the two
21:16to reconcile
21:17one of the series
21:17longest running
21:18plot threads.
21:34Number 30
21:35Sheldon Cooper
21:36and Amy Farrah Fowler
21:38The Big Bang Theory
21:39Although she wasn't
21:40introduced until
21:41the long running
21:42sitcom's third season
21:43Mayim Bialik's
21:45Neuroscientist
21:46was a perfect match
21:47for Sheldon Cooper.
21:48I'm being blackmailed
21:50with a hidden dirty sock.
21:51If that was slang
21:53I'm unfamiliar with it.
21:55If it was literal
21:56I share your aversion
21:58to soiled hosiery.
22:00While she planted
22:01a smooch on him
22:02while under the influence
22:03in season 4
22:04it wasn't reciprocated
22:06and may have even
22:07further delayed
22:08their very real connection.
22:10It wouldn't be
22:10until season 7
22:12that the fireworks
22:12really went off
22:13between Amy and Sheldon.
22:15Their first kiss
22:16came in the middle
22:17of a classic
22:18Sheldon tantrum.
22:19Now let's gaze
22:20into each other's eyes.
22:22You blinked.
22:22I win.
22:23Let's see.
22:24What's next?
22:25Oh, kissing's romantic.
22:29Then, of course,
22:30it became the real thing.
22:32It's the kind of first kiss
22:33only Sheldon Cooper
22:35could manage.
22:35It was a sarcastic joke
22:37until it became reality.
22:40That was nice.
22:42Good.
22:43Number 29.
22:45Oliver Queen
22:45and Felicity Smoke
22:47Arrow
22:47This CW superhero series
22:50follows Oliver Queen,
22:51a billionaire turned vigilante
22:53who begins fighting crime
22:55and corruption
22:56in Starling City.
22:57Early in the series,
22:59he meets and works closely
23:00with IT expert
23:02Felicity Smoke.
23:03I was at my coffee shop
23:05surfing the web
23:05and I spilled a latte on it.
23:07Really?
23:08Yeah.
23:09Because these look like bullet holes.
23:11My coffee shop
23:12isn't a bad neighborhood.
23:13Fans waited eagerly
23:14as the two flirted shamelessly
23:16for two seasons.
23:18Then, in the third season premiere,
23:20they finally got their wish.
23:22The two went on their first date
23:23only for Oliver to realize
23:25he can't be a superhero
23:26and the man she deserves.
23:28Stop
23:29dangling maybes.
23:31Say it's never going to work out
23:35between us.
23:36Say you never loved me.
23:37Their first kiss
23:38feels like a painful goodbye.
23:41Luckily,
23:41fans wouldn't have to wait
23:42too long
23:43for them to come
23:44to their senses.
23:45I couldn't be the arrow
23:46and be with you.
23:48I want to be with you.
23:50Number 28.
23:52Janine Teagues
23:52and Gregory Eddy
23:54Abbott Elementary
23:55It was clear
23:56from the pilot episode
23:57that Mrs. Teagues
23:58and Mr. Eddy
23:59were a perfect match.
24:01But like any
24:02will-they-or-won't-they
24:03TV relationship,
24:05they had a few hurdles
24:06to clear first.
24:07I was gonna wait
24:08for my boyfriend
24:08to finish his show
24:09to eat.
24:11But
24:12no.
24:15I'm hungry now.
24:16So I should eat now.
24:18Season two
24:19of the Runaway hit sitcom
24:21constantly teased us
24:22with their inevitable pairing.
24:24After all the false starts
24:25and fleeting looks,
24:27the two finally had
24:28their first kiss
24:28at a teacher's conference.
24:30It all went down
24:31in the middle
24:31of a classroom
24:32full of flowers.
24:34When the chemistry
24:34is explosive
24:35from the start,
24:36even two and a half seasons
24:38can feel like
24:38a lifetime of waiting.
24:40We got caught up
24:40in the moment.
24:41That's what she said
24:41about it.
24:42Just two friends
24:43getting caught up
24:44in the moment.
24:45Number 27.
24:46Amy Sosa
24:47and Jonah Sims
24:48Superstore
24:49The employees
24:50of big box store
24:51Cloud9
24:52had a lot
24:53to contend with.
24:54Shoplifters
24:55and corporate shenanigans
24:56are crazy enough.
24:58Workplace romance
24:59is another thing entirely.
25:00The thing about this structure
25:01is it's really solid.
25:04You know,
25:04it's very strong.
25:06It's very sturdy.
25:07It's
25:07very sexy.
25:11Sales associate
25:12Jonah Sims
25:13was down bad
25:14for supervisor
25:15Amy Sosa
25:15from the start.
25:17It wasn't until
25:17a tornado
25:18trapped them
25:19in the store
25:19that they were
25:20forced to reveal
25:21their feelings
25:21for each other.
25:22Because nothing
25:23says romance
25:24like flying debris
25:25and falling ceiling.
25:27Of course,
25:28they try to play it off
25:29as no big deal.
25:30But if this list
25:31proves anything,
25:32it's that two characters
25:33kissing on a TV show
25:34is like opening
25:35Pandora's box.
25:36That was an accident.
25:37We didn't
25:38mean to do that.
25:39You were going in.
25:41Guys,
25:42something just happened!
25:44Number 26,
25:45Jake Peralta
25:46and Amy Santiago
25:47Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
25:49Jake Peralta
25:50and Amy Santiago's
25:52first kiss
25:52was a spur-of-the-moment
25:53decision.
25:54But they were undercover,
25:56so it didn't really
25:56count, right?
25:58NYPD, freeze!
26:00We are police colleagues!
26:01You're under arrest!
26:02This is a work event!
26:03Well,
26:03they cleared up the confusion
26:04in the filing room
26:05later in the episode,
26:07and it was enough
26:07to make fans' hearts
26:09start pounding.
26:10While it was an intense
26:11and dramatic scene
26:12for such a hilarious show,
26:14it was another story
26:15behind the scenes.
26:16Andy Samberg
26:17and Melissa Fumero
26:18were living up
26:19to the show's
26:19madcap goofiness
26:21off-camera.
26:22Apparently,
26:23to make their kisses
26:24less awkward,
26:25the two actors
26:25ate food
26:26that would give them
26:27bad breath.
26:28You're going to go
26:28to the Polish place
26:29and get pierogies,
26:30potato pancakes,
26:30and a cup of hot chocolate.
26:32That's exactly
26:33what I'm going to get.
26:33Yeah.
26:34I will be having pizza,
26:36two slices of meat supreme
26:37from Tony's,
26:38served display temperature.
26:40Number 25,
26:41Ted Mosby
26:42and Tracy McConnell,
26:44How I Met Your Mother.
26:45Bad like there was
26:46a big fight.
26:46Bad like there was
26:47a big ring.
26:48Bad like this happened
26:49in the past year.
26:51Bad like it happened
26:52Saturday.
26:53In a way,
26:53we spent all nine seasons
26:54of this seminal sitcom
26:56waiting for Ted
26:56to kiss the mother.
26:58It isn't called
26:58How I Met Your Mother
26:59for nothing,
27:00but even if you
27:01don't count
27:01the previous eight years,
27:03the show still
27:03stretched out
27:04Ted and Tracy's romance
27:05for the entire
27:06last batch of episodes.
27:08The two don't
27:08technically kiss
27:09until the fourth
27:10to last installment
27:11of the entire series.
27:12That's downright
27:13criminal behavior.
27:14For fans who'd been
27:15watching since day one,
27:17seeing Ted finally
27:18profess his love
27:18was downright cathartic.
27:20So heads up,
27:21if you're starting
27:22How I Met Your Mother
27:22for the romance,
27:23you better get comfortable.
27:24Number 24.
27:32Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper
27:34Stranger Things
27:35When we first met Joyce,
27:37she was not doing well.
27:39She was frantically searching
27:40for her missing son,
27:42Will,
27:42and forcing the exhausted
27:44and weary police chief,
27:46Jim Hopper,
27:46to take her seriously.
27:48But over four seasons,
27:49monster invasions,
27:51and being held captive
27:52by the Russians,
27:53the two grew
27:54very, very close.
27:56It was a very
27:56long time coming.
27:58I've been on a diet
27:59of watery soup,
28:00moldy bread,
28:01and maggots.
28:02So yeah,
28:02I've been dreaming
28:03about breadsticks
28:04and lasagna,
28:05I'm assuming.
28:08So I've been dreaming
28:09about something else?
28:11You tell me.
28:13Scored with the show's
28:14usual 80s-inspired
28:15synthesizer,
28:16it's a magical
28:17and surprisingly
28:18passionate kiss.
28:20It was a great moment
28:21because both of them
28:22had grown so much
28:23in that time.
28:23together and apart
28:25and were much better
28:26than when we first
28:27met them.
28:28And after that?
28:32I don't know.
28:35Yes,
28:35your imagination.
28:38Number 23.
28:40Buffy Summers
28:41and Spike.
28:42Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
28:44Couples and relationships
28:45can be a hot topic
28:46among fans.
28:47That's especially true
28:48for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
28:50Buffy fans can probably
28:52be divided into camps
28:53based on which vampire
28:54they wanted Buffy Summers
28:56to end up with.
28:57The day you suss out
28:58what you do want,
28:59there'll probably be a parade.
29:0076 bloody trombones.
29:03Angel was her first love
29:04on the show,
29:05but the leather-clad,
29:06peroxided vampire Spike
29:07entered the race
29:08halfway through
29:09the series run.
29:10They technically locked
29:11lips in season 5,
29:13but no,
29:14the Buffy bot
29:14doesn't count.
29:15It wasn't until
29:16season 6's
29:17classic musical episode
29:19that the two
29:20finally had
29:21their first real kiss.
29:23Their embrace
29:23closed out the show,
29:24leaving viewers
29:25dazed by the entire episode
29:27and foaming at the mouth
29:28to see how things
29:29would pick up
29:30the next week.
29:32Where do we go
29:34from here?
29:43Number 22.
29:44Michonne and Rick Grimes.
29:47The Walking Dead.
29:48You'd think a band
29:49of survivors
29:49trying to outrun
29:50a horde of walkers
29:51wouldn't have much
29:52time for romance,
29:53but then you wouldn't
29:54have much of a show
29:55if they didn't.
29:56You want to tell me
29:57about your day?
29:59No.
30:02Same thing.
30:03What, you found a guy?
30:05Fans of the comics
30:06knew Michonne was coming,
30:07but they didn't
30:08necessarily know
30:09her introduction
30:10would result in a pairing
30:11with the show's
30:11protagonist, Rick Grimes.
30:13However, fans
30:14didn't get to see them
30:15act on their attraction
30:16for three seasons.
30:18In an uncharacteristically
30:19warm episode,
30:21the two begin to kiss
30:22while sitting on the sofa
30:23after sharing the adventures
30:24of an average day
30:25in a post-apocalyptic
30:26landscape.
30:28Oh, so you had a day.
30:31Yeah.
30:33All on account
30:34of your dental hygiene.
30:36Number 21.
30:36Gil Grissom
30:38and Sarah Seidel
30:39CSI Crime Scene Investigation
30:42Few had it quite as hard
30:43as the CSI fandom.
30:45Having kept their relationship
30:46hidden from their colleagues,
30:48crime scene investigators
30:49Gil Grissom
30:50and Sarah Seidel's
30:51first on-screen kiss
30:52was probably one of the most
30:54gut-wrenching ever.
30:55That just makes this worse.
30:57I can't talk about this right now.
30:59I can't.
31:00Sarah, having lost her passion
31:02and drive for the job,
31:03kisses her now-fiancé
31:05Grissom goodbye
31:06and departs the crime lab.
31:08The two would eventually marry,
31:09break up,
31:10and get back together.
31:11But most of their
31:12romantic relationship
31:13would be played off-screen
31:14after actors
31:15William Peterson
31:16and Georgia Fox's roles
31:18as part of the cast changed.
31:20Their return in the 2021
31:21follow-up series
31:22was a welcome look
31:23into their dynamic
31:24as a married couple.
31:26We weren't really that worried
31:27about the rape.
31:29It, um,
31:30it just felt like a battle.
31:34Number 20.
31:35Maddie Hayes
31:36and David Addison
31:37Moonlighting
31:38Look, we're not seeing
31:39the Blue Moon Detective Agency
31:41invented the long-simmering
31:42workplace romance,
31:44but Maddie Hayes
31:44and David Addison
31:45probably perfected the trope.
31:47You know,
31:48that's what I like about this place.
31:49You learn something new every day.
31:50But you get serious.
31:51Maddie,
31:52I just have my hand
31:53on your behind.
31:54If I get any more serious,
31:54they're gonna move us to cable.
31:56Inspired by screwball comedies
31:57and murder mysteries,
31:58the show cast
32:00Bruce Willis
32:00and Sybil Shepard
32:02proving opposites
32:03really do attract.
32:04The dramedy
32:05constantly teased us
32:06with fantasy kisses
32:07throughout its episodes.
32:09However,
32:09when the constantly
32:10bickering pair
32:11gave in to their feelings
32:12in season two,
32:13it was a painful case
32:14that finally gave viewers
32:16what they wanted.
32:17It was a thrilling
32:18and sad moment
32:19between the two.
32:20You tell me.
32:21What was that?
32:21What do you mean,
32:22you tell me?
32:23It wasn't me.
32:24It was you.
32:25I didn't do it.
32:25You did it.
32:26I did not do it.
32:27Well,
32:27I did not do it.
32:28Well,
32:29if you did not do it,
32:30I did not do it.
32:32I guess
32:32it didn't happen.
32:34Number 19.
32:35Joey Potter
32:35and Pacey Witter
32:37Dawson's Creek
32:38Though technically
32:39they share
32:40a brief peck
32:41early on in season one,
32:42these two
32:43wouldn't discover
32:44their true feelings
32:45for each other
32:45until the third season.
32:47The hostility,
32:48the way they're
32:48wary with each other,
32:49not to mention
32:50the constant bickering
32:51and name-calling.
32:52Now,
32:53these two
32:53clearly
32:54are in the early stages
32:56of some screwball
32:57mating ritual.
32:59What?
32:59These two start out
33:00as enemies,
33:01with Dawson
33:02really being
33:03the only thing
33:03connecting them.
33:04But over time,
33:05they become confidants,
33:07then friends,
33:08and then something more.
33:09Without even realizing it,
33:11they become
33:11each other's soulmates.
33:13And in a moment
33:14where Pacey
33:14can't hold
33:15his feelings in anymore,
33:16he kisses Joey,
33:18changing their
33:18relationship forever.
33:20Don't you ever
33:20get tired of talking?
33:21No.
33:22No, I don't get tired.
33:23I don't, no.
33:24I don't want to talk anymore.
33:25What are you trying to say,
33:26Pacey?
33:26Why are we standing?
33:28I don't...
33:28There's comfort.
33:29It might have only
33:30taken most of the way
33:31through season three
33:32for these two
33:33to finally lock lips,
33:34but if you watched
33:35this relationship build
33:36through seasons two
33:37and three,
33:38it felt like a lifetime.
33:40Number 18.
33:41Jess Day and Nick Miller,
33:43New Girl
33:44Similar to Joey and Pacey,
33:46if we're talking
33:47straight episode count,
33:48this one doesn't take
33:49too long at all
33:50to manifest.
33:51We got this first kiss
33:53halfway through
33:53the second season,
33:55but also like Joey and Pacey,
33:57the tension between these two
33:58was so palpable
33:59that it felt like forever
34:00for this to finally happen.
34:02Good night, Nick.
34:03Good night.
34:03Good night.
34:04The chemistry between them
34:10was so intense in fact
34:11that Jake Johnson
34:12and Zooey Deschanel
34:13were told not to touch
34:15during filming.
34:16I think we actually fought it,
34:17I mean, legitimately
34:18fought against it
34:19for a long time.
34:20I mean, really, really hard.
34:22Yeah, yeah.
34:22We would be like,
34:24so, uh,
34:25do you want to go over there?
34:26Don't touch me.
34:27Cece saw it
34:28from the very beginning.
34:29She tries to hook up
34:30Nick and Jess
34:31very early on,
34:32but the show made us
34:33wait in anticipation.
34:35Number 17.
34:37Kate Beckett
34:37and Richard Castle.
34:39Castle.
34:40No matter how much animosity
34:41Beckett has for Castle
34:43in the beginning,
34:43these two have
34:44an obvious chemistry.
34:46Castle is always out
34:47to win Beckett's heart,
34:49but in season one,
34:50Beckett is all business.
34:51This whole bad boy charm thing
34:53that you've got going
34:54might work for bimbets
34:55and celeb utants.
34:57Me?
34:58I work for a living,
34:59so that makes you
34:59one of two things in my world.
35:01Either the guy
35:01who makes my life easier
35:02or the guy
35:03who makes my life harder.
35:04She's not at all
35:05responsive to his
35:06romantic attempts
35:07and even tries to have
35:08Castle removed
35:09as her partner.
35:10But in season two,
35:11their relationship
35:12begins to soften
35:13and we could see
35:14mutual feelings
35:15begin to blossom.
35:16Then, finally,
35:17in season three,
35:18Castle and Beckett
35:19finally share
35:20their first kiss.
35:21It may have just
35:27been part of a plan
35:28to help their friends,
35:29but let's be honest,
35:31we all knew
35:31it was something more.
35:33Number 16,
35:34Leo Fitz
35:35and Gemma Simmons,
35:37Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
35:38These two literally
35:39traveled through space
35:41and time
35:42losing each other
35:42and finding each other
35:44again and again.
35:45They obviously had chemistry
35:47from the very beginning.
35:48When did you become
35:49so sun-kissed?
35:50Because I'm pretty sure
35:52that every minute
35:53of every day
35:53you've been stuck
35:54in a lab right beside me
35:56at the Academy,
35:57at PsyOps,
35:57this plane.
35:58You've been beside me
35:59the whole damn time.
36:00They'd been partners
36:01ever since the Academy,
36:03but as the show went on,
36:04it became more and more clear
36:06that there was something
36:07deeper between them
36:08than friendship.
36:09We watched as their feelings
36:10blossomed through
36:11insurmountable obstacles.
36:13They defeated deadly viruses,
36:15battled in humans,
36:16and even survived
36:17at the bottom of the ocean
36:19all together.
36:20Their first kiss
36:21came in a moment
36:22of desperation
36:22where they just
36:23couldn't hold in
36:24their feelings anymore.
36:26You dove through
36:26a hole in the universe
36:27for me!
36:36Number 15.
36:37Ziva Daveed
36:38and Tony DiNozzo
36:39NCIS
36:41This one was
36:42a long, slow burn.
36:44These two don't even meet
36:45until season 3
36:46when Ziva first joins the team.
36:49It takes them
36:50until season 11
36:51to finally lock lips for real,
36:53but their first mission together
36:54involves them
36:54pretending to be
36:55a married couple.
36:57Oh, I'm sorry.
37:07Your instincts were right.
37:09Even the actors
37:10knew right from then
37:11that their characters
37:12were in a love story,
37:13and the fans
37:14were right there
37:15with them.
37:16We all waited
37:16eight seasons
37:17for them to finally
37:18come together,
37:19and it was a goodbye kiss.
37:27It took another long wait
37:29to see them reunited.
37:30Number 14.
37:32Dwayne Wayne
37:33and Whitley Gilbert
37:34A Different World
37:35Towards the beginning
37:36of A Different World,
37:37the idea of romance
37:39isn't really on Dwayne
37:40or Whitley's mind,
37:41but it certainly was
37:42on the audiences.
37:44As the show went on,
37:45the chemistry between the two
37:46was undeniable.
37:47Well, it certainly is good
37:48to see a familiar face.
37:52Although you don't look
37:53all that familiar.
37:55Oh, my suit.
37:56Well, I was in Toronto
37:57on business.
37:58Dwayne might not have been
37:59the type of guy
38:00Whitley would usually go for.
38:01He didn't have
38:02the rich guy look,
38:03he wasn't on the finance
38:04or business track,
38:05but he was the only guy
38:06who cared to get to know her,
38:08and that's what really matters.
38:10Well, looks like we're all done.
38:13No, no, we're not.
38:15What's left?
38:20Plus, both of these characters
38:22dated and loved other people
38:23before coming together.
38:25They knew themselves
38:26and knew what they wanted,
38:27which made them perfect
38:28for each other
38:29and made this kiss
38:30worth the wait.
38:31Oh, one more thing.
38:33What?
38:35I love you too.
38:36Number 13.
38:38Damon Salvatore
38:39and Elena Gilbert.
38:40The Vampire Diaries.
38:45As soon as Elena
38:46quite literally ran into Damon
38:48in the second episode
38:49of the series,
38:50Vampire Diaries fans
38:51were hooked.
38:53Their love triangle
38:53with Stefan dragged on,
38:55and while there were
38:56small nuggets here and there,
38:57such as Elena
38:58chastely pecking Damon
39:00as he lay dying,
39:01the two didn't officially kiss
39:02until season three.
39:04At the time,
39:04Damon and Elena
39:05were working to get
39:06Stefan back from Klaus,
39:08and Stefan and Elena
39:09were still together.
39:10Klaus is trying to send us
39:11a message.
39:12He wants us to find Stefan
39:13who stole his coffins
39:14full of his dead family members.
39:16Coffins?
39:17Yep.
39:18Though Damon still considered
39:19Elena his brother's girl,
39:21hello patriarchy,
39:22he kissed her,
39:23knowing she would go back
39:24to Stefan in the end.
39:25If I'm gonna feel guilty
39:26about something,
39:27I'm gonna feel guilty
39:28about this.
39:28It still took another season
39:31for these two to get together,
39:32but we appreciated this kiss
39:33in the meantime.
39:34Number 12.
39:36Lucifer Morningstar
39:37and Chloe Decker.
39:38Lucifer.
39:39These two start off
39:40with that classic
39:41opposites attract,
39:42buddy cop type of relationship.
39:45Chloe is pretty straight-laced
39:46and by the book,
39:47and Lucifer is,
39:49well, Lucifer.
39:50You got some balls on you, pal.
39:51Oh, thank you very much,
39:52but they're really quite average.
39:54I bet.
39:55Are you sure that we haven't met?
39:57I could swear I've seen you naked.
39:59Have we had sex?
40:00Similar to Castle
40:01and Beckett's relationship,
40:02Lucifer clearly likes Chloe
40:04from early on,
40:05but Chloe remains skeptical
40:06of his intentions.
40:08Though he's straight up
40:09with her about who he really is,
40:11Chloe naturally doesn't believe him.
40:13But slowly,
40:14their trust grows
40:15and they become real partners
40:16and true friends.
40:18Eventually,
40:18just when Lucifer is ready
40:20to give up hope
40:21that Chloe would ever see him
40:22as anything more,
40:23she flips the script
40:24and plants one on him.
40:26You're probably right.
40:37Detective.
40:38This might have only taken
40:39halfway through season two to happen,
40:40but we were all longing
40:42for this one
40:42since they first met.
40:44Number 11.
40:45Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon.
40:47The Mentalist.
40:49What's with these partner duos?
40:51They just can't seem
40:52to keep their hands
40:52off each other.
40:54At least,
40:54not for long,
40:55but definitely long enough.
40:57Out of seven long seasons
40:58of this show,
40:59these two don't give in
41:00to their romantic tension
41:01until the finale
41:02of season six.
41:04I love you.
41:04You can't imagine how good
41:10that feels to say out loud,
41:11but it scares me
41:12and it is the truth.
41:15At the start of the show,
41:16Jane is still recovering
41:17from the death of his wife,
41:18so it seemed unlikely
41:19that anything romantic
41:21would materialize
41:22between the two partners.
41:23Yet over time,
41:24the attraction between them
41:25becomes more and more obvious.
41:28In a Ross and Rachel type move,
41:30Jane finally admits
41:31his feelings for Lisbon
41:32just as she's about to leave
41:33to take a new job.
41:35She initially rejects him,
41:36but comes back
41:37and kisses him.
41:38Hey, quit that!
41:47Number 10.
41:48Seatley Booth
41:48and Dr. Temperance Bones Brennan
41:51Bones
41:52Yet another partnership
41:54team-up relationship
41:54to add to the list.
41:56It's obvious from the beginning
41:57that these two
41:58would eventually get together.
41:59I'm the gambler.
42:04I believe in giving this a chance.
42:08Look, I want to give this a shot.
42:10Even their co-workers
42:11think there's something
42:12going on between them.
42:13One of them, Sweets,
42:15even writes a book
42:16about their relationship.
42:17Yet we still had to wait
42:18through five seasons
42:19and a hundred episodes
42:21of sexual tension,
42:22overprotectiveness,
42:23and even jealousy
42:24between them
42:25before finally seeing
42:26Booth and Bones kiss.
42:28After reminiscing
42:29on their first case together
42:30to help Sweets with his book,
42:31Booth finally builds up
42:32the courage to tell Bones
42:34how he feels.
42:35You mean us?
42:36No, the FBI won't
42:39let us work together
42:39Don't do that.
42:40There is no reason.
42:43It's a bittersweet moment
42:45since Bones is not
42:46ready to reciprocate,
42:48but we all knew
42:49this was only the beginning.
42:50Number nine,
42:51Anne Shirley Cuthbert
42:53and Gilbert Blythe.
42:54Anne with an E.
42:56I have a very good imagination,
42:57so I just had to be sure
42:59this is real.
43:02Anne, I have to know,
43:04do you truly have feelings for me?
43:07Ah, young love.
43:08It may have taken
43:09until the series finale
43:10of this short-lived show
43:11for them to kiss,
43:12but it was well worth the wait.
43:14Gilbert clearly likes Anne
43:16from the very first time
43:17they meet.
43:18On the first day of school,
43:19Gilbert saves Anne
43:20from a kid that's harassing her
43:21and asks if she had
43:23any dragons that needed slaying,
43:25implying that he wants
43:26to be her prince charming.
43:27You're welcome.
43:30Need anything else?
43:31Any dragons around here
43:32need slaying?
43:33No, thank you.
43:36Who are you?
43:37After that,
43:38Gilbert relentlessly tries
43:39to get Anne's attention,
43:41which proves elusive.
43:42But eventually,
43:43the two become friends
43:44and fall in love.
43:45Their first kiss
43:46may have been a long wait,
43:47but it was like a fairy tale.
43:50Number eight,
43:51Brienne of Tarth
43:51and Jaime Lannister.
43:53Game of Thrones.
43:54Let's just ignore
43:55everything that happens
43:56in the last few episodes
43:57of Game of Thrones
43:58and only remember
43:59the good times.
44:00Like when these two
44:01finally locked lips.
44:03Jaime and Brienne
44:04didn't start off
44:05on the best of terms.
44:06Honestly,
44:07there probably aren't
44:07worse terms
44:08two people could start on.
44:10Why should I care
44:10how you die?
44:11You swore a solemn vow,
44:13remember?
44:14You're supposed to get me
44:16to King's Landing
44:16in one piece.
44:19Not going so well,
44:20is it?
44:21But throughout the show,
44:22their respect
44:23for each other grew.
44:24Jaime trusted Brienne
44:26enough to tell her
44:26the true story
44:27behind the Mad King's death.
44:29And Brienne's honor
44:30inspired Jaime
44:31to be the knight
44:32he always longed to be.
44:33Season eight
44:34definitely lacks high points,
44:36but the scene
44:36where Jaime knights Brienne
44:38is one of the best
44:39in the show's history.
44:40Arise,
44:41Brienne of Tarth.
44:43A knight
44:44of the Seven Kingdoms.
44:46And their long-awaited kiss
44:47was pretty great too.
44:49I've never slept
44:49with anyone before.
44:53Then you have to drink.
44:54Those are the rules.
44:56I told you.
44:58Number seven,
45:02Stiles Stilinski
45:03and Lydia Martin.
45:05Teen Wolf.
45:06This one was not just
45:07a slow burn for us,
45:09but for Stiles as well.
45:11Stiles has harbored
45:12an unrequited love
45:13for Lydia
45:13since the third grade.
45:15Lydia,
45:16on the other hand,
45:17hasn't even seemed
45:17to notice he was alive.
45:19That is freaking awesome.
45:20I mean,
45:21this is seriously
45:21gonna be the best thing
45:22that's happened
45:22to this town
45:22since the birth
45:24of Lydia Martin.
45:24Hey, Lydia.
45:25You look
45:27like you're gonna ignore me.
45:29That is,
45:30until things start
45:30getting all mystical
45:31and magical in their lives.
45:33Over time,
45:34Lydia starts to see
45:35just how deeply
45:36Stiles cares about her.
45:38And she starts
45:39to care back.
45:40When Stiles is suffering
45:41from an intense panic attack,
45:43Lydia kisses him
45:44as a way to calm him down.
45:45At the time,
45:46it may have been
45:47little more than a distraction.
45:49But later on,
45:50even Lydia admits
45:51that that was the moment
45:52everything changed
45:53between them.
45:54When I kissed him,
45:58that's when it all changed.
46:03Number 6.
46:04Donna Paulson
46:04and Harvey Specter
46:06Suits
46:06When it comes
46:07to workplace romance,
46:09these two might take
46:10the cake
46:10for the longest wait time.
46:12Fans waited
46:12seven seasons
46:14for these two
46:14to finally take the plunge.
46:16Although they would
46:16have to wait
46:17a whole other season
46:18for them
46:18to actually get together.
46:20But even though
46:20it took them forever
46:21to get there romantically,
46:23these two always
46:24had each other's backs.
46:25Actor Gabriel Macht
46:26even called the pair
46:27each other's other half.
46:29I don't know how to say this.
46:32Just say it, Donna.
46:33What?
46:34Your dad.
46:37He had a heart attack.
46:38He's right.
46:39Whether it was working
46:40on a case
46:40or being there
46:41for each other emotionally,
46:42like when Harvey's dad died,
46:44these two were basically
46:45in a relationship already,
46:47just minus the physical part.
46:48Where's Lewis?
46:49Because I have some news
46:50and I think you should both.
46:51And boy,
46:52are we glad
46:53they added the physical part.
46:55Number five,
46:56Luke Daines
46:56and Lorelai Gilmore.
46:58Gilmore Girls.
46:59Quick banter
47:00and obscure pop culture references
47:02a happy couple make.
47:04Fans knew from the start
47:05that Luke and Lorelai
47:06had something special.
47:07They're the epitome
47:08of opposites attract.
47:10He's surly,
47:11she's perky,
47:12she's a caffeine fiend.
47:13He runs a diner
47:14that sells coffee.
47:15It's the perfect match.
47:17This is a coffee morning.
47:18Every morning for you
47:19was a coffee morning.
47:21This is a jumbo coffee morning.
47:22I need coffee and an IV.
47:23I can give you tea
47:24and a balance bar.
47:25But the showrunners
47:26dragged this obviously
47:27perfect couple out
47:28for four long seasons
47:29before fans got
47:31that much-anticipated
47:32first kiss.
47:33This could be a totally
47:34innocent situation.
47:35And then we've done
47:36all this what-if-ing
47:37for nothing.
47:38Let's just go back in there
47:39and see if anything's weird.
47:40In typical Gilmore Girls fashion,
47:51the build-up to the moment
47:52is hilarious and witty.
47:54Lorelai's attempts
47:55to figure out
47:55if Luke is serious
47:56towards her are a hoot,
47:58and the culminating moment
47:59is absolute perfection.
48:00What are you doing?
48:02Will you just stand still?
48:06Number 4.
48:07Clark Kent and Lois Lane
48:09Smallville
48:10There have been many iterations
48:12of Clark Kent and Lois Lane,
48:14but these two might win
48:15the award for the most
48:16screen time without a smooch.
48:18Lois didn't make it
48:19onto the show
48:20until season 4,
48:21but when she did,
48:22the chemistry she had
48:23with Clark was undeniable.
48:24Wait.
48:27Who are you?
48:30Lois.
48:32Lois Lane.
48:33Of course,
48:33the showrunners
48:34made fans wait
48:35until season 9
48:36for that chemistry
48:37to finally come to fruition,
48:39all while making Clark
48:40navigate his superhero life
48:41without letting Lois
48:42in on his secret.
48:43These two had
48:44smaller kisses before,
48:46but whether it was
48:46Clark masquerading
48:47as Green Arrow
48:48or a run-in
48:49with Red Kryptonite,
48:50something always made
48:51those kisses feel
48:52a little less official
48:53than this one,
48:54which is why it's perfect.
48:55I never should have
48:56tried out in the first place
48:57or dragged you there with me
48:59and I just...
48:59Of course,
49:17the polls could be
49:18the only thing
49:18to heighten the tension
49:19and finally push
49:20these two lovebirds
49:21over the hump.
49:22It's hard to imagine
49:23the West Wing
49:24without Josh and Donna,
49:25but the relationship
49:26almost never existed.
49:27Janelle Maloney
49:28was only hired
49:29for one scene
49:30in the first episode,
49:31the scene where
49:32she brings Josh coffee.
49:34Apparently,
49:34the chemistry
49:35between the two actors
49:36was so off the charts,
49:37producers hired her
49:38on as a regular.
49:40Seven seasons
49:40and much political banter later,
49:42the two finally kissed
49:44in the wake
49:44of a campaign victory.
49:45Ah, the romance of politics.
49:56Number 2, Dana Scully
49:58and Fox Mulder
49:59The X-Files
50:00Talk about making us
50:02wait for it.
50:03Scully and Mulder
50:04may as well have invented
50:05the idea of the slow romantic burn.
50:08Ever since the beginning,
50:09the tension,
50:10both positive and negative,
50:12between these two
50:13could cut a knife.
50:14If you have any doubt
50:15about my qualifications
50:16or credentials...
50:16You're a medical doctor.
50:18You teach at the academy.
50:20Here's your undergraduate
50:21degree in physics.
50:24Einstein's twin paradox.
50:26A new interpretation.
50:27Dana Scully's senior thesis.
50:29Now that's a credential.
50:30Rewriting Einstein.
50:31It may have had something
50:32to do with Gillian Anderson
50:33and David Duchovny's
50:34reported less than friendly
50:36relationship while filming,
50:37which could have had a hand
50:38in creating sparks on camera.
50:40But don't worry.
50:41The two are good friends now.
50:43Tension aside,
50:44after 143 episodes,
50:47our favorite alien hunting,
50:49crime-fighting duo
50:50finally locked lips.
50:51And at the turn of the century,
50:53no less.
50:54Fitting.

51:16Number 1.
51:18Niles Crane
51:18and Daphne Moon.
51:20Frasier.
51:20I can autograph the photo.
51:22Oh, well, it'll be my pleasure.
51:23From the first time
51:24Niles laid eyes on Daphne,
51:26he was smitten.
51:27But he was married at the time,
51:29so yeah,
51:29he couldn't really
51:30do anything about it.
51:31But even after
51:32Niles' marriage ended,
51:34it took a long time
51:35for this relationship
51:36to come to fruition.
51:36The list of almosts
51:38for these two
51:39is too long to count.
51:41From the pair's
51:42explosive tango
51:43at the ball
51:43to the Seattle
51:44heatwave fiasco
51:45to Niles losing his nerve
51:47time and time again.
51:48I can't imagine
51:49what you must be thinking.
51:50Me barging in,
51:52asking to spend the night.
51:53Well,
51:55gee,
51:55I'm just thinking
51:56so many things.
51:57But all the near misses
51:58made it all that
51:59more satisfying
52:00when the two
52:01finally did the deed.
52:02Kissed, that is.
52:03What TV kiss
52:10did you wait
52:10a lifetime for?
