The Best TV Friendships In History

Is there anything more captivating than watching a truly great friendship unfold on screen? The best TV friendships are not just entertaining; they're often the emotional bedrock of the entire show, reflecting our own desires for connection, loyalty, and unwavering support.

From the hilarious antics of sitcom besties to the deeply moving bonds forged in dramas, television has given us countless iconic pairings to admire. These relationships resonate because they mirror the complexities of real-life friendships: the laughter, the arguments, the unwavering support, and the occasional moments of jealousy or misunderstanding. Shows like "Friends" and "The Golden Girls" have made friendship central to their narratives. But, the exploration of friendship isn't limited to sitcoms. Dramas like "Grey's Anatomy" and even crime series like "Mare of Easttown" highlight the crucial role friends play in navigating life's challenges. And, as "Booksmart" proves, the importance of holding onto your best friend is never more vital than when life starts throwing curveballs.

One of the most compelling aspects of TV friendships is their diversity. We see platonic male and female friendships, like Joey and Phoebe in "Friends" or Marlin and Dory in "Finding Nemo," challenging traditional notions of how men and women can relate to one another. We witness the intense loyalty between women, such as Rebecca and Keeley in "Ted Lasso," the unnamed characters in "Hacks", or the dynamic of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, providing powerful examples of female empowerment and solidarity. And we also have complicated relationships that still matter a great deal, as the friendship between Serena and Blair in "Gossip Girl" shows. The importance of this kind of relationship, even when toxic, shows that our most important connections in life can be complicated, and that complexity is a very human thing to show on TV.

The characters that make up these friendships are interesting to watch and help make good characters great as they navigate plotlines filled with romance, drama, or comedy. It's their friendships that resonate deeply with viewers and leave a lasting impression. After all, a good friend can be as important as family, and sometimes even more so. We cant choose our family, but we can choose those who become our closest confidantes, our partners in crime. When in trouble, a real friend will always be there to lend a hand for you, both metaphorically and literally, as seen in the iconic friendship between Sam and Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings."

It's important to consider both the classic and the modern examples when thinking about great TV friendships. Consider the enduring bond of Arnold Shortman and Gerald Johanssen in "Hey Arnold!" This Nickelodeon series offers a poignant portrayal of childhood friendship, capturing the innocence, loyalty, and shared adventures that define those formative years. Or how about the fresh spin that Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer brought to the zany best friend trope in their modern comedy. These are just a few examples of the many great TV friendships that have captured our hearts and minds over the years.

Ultimately, the best TV friendships remind us of the importance of connection, support, and understanding in our own lives. They provide us with a sense of comfort, inspiration, and hope, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, we are never truly alone. And while platonic friendships between men and women are not all that common on tv, these relationships suggest that might be a mistake.
