Goodreads asked Jennifer Sweete:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Jennifer Sweete Felix and Oscar ...(for those of us old enough to remember The Odd couple on TV) First, I just plain had the hots for Tony Randall and his mischievous smile and twinkling eyes ;-) As Felix, he was SO over-the-top OCD he made me feel a little more normal—even though "Felix" turned out to be my nickname for a few years thanks to my more Oscar-ey friends who thought I was more like Felix than I professed not to be. Such opposites live within us all, I think, but the love between them was so perfect and beautiful, and cutting edge in that era.

Oh wait ... no ... Mulder and Scully ... yes, definitely Mulder and Scully from the X-files ... of course I had the hots for David Duchovny (who could resist that out-of-control sex appeal, although nowadays he's definitely showing the rage of his age, proving sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll aren't just ravagers of Keith Richards) Their kismet was so dharmic. The tension so blandly intense - hidden in plain sight. It was a long, long trudge to the first kiss, and an amazingly quick leap to a super-baby, LOL.

Um, or, yes, William Shatner and James Spader in Boston Legal. Let's face it, they were magnifique! They had it all—sex, money, women, power, and yet the only people they could ever truly love (outside of themselves) were each other.

Emma Peel & John Steed, Laverne & Shirley, Mickey & Minnie, Andy Griffith & Barney Fife, Richie & Fonzie, I could go on forever!!!

Who are YOUR favorite fictional couples????
