Wishing these TV pairs a happy V-Day

J.D. and Elliot ("Scrubs")
Leave it to Scrubs to actually have a relationship progress naturally and logically. So many shows these days get caught up in moments that are meant to shock and awe us that the believability factor goes away. With J.D. and Elliot, we have a guy who is so in-tune with his emotions that it can be construed as feminine, and a girl who is always battling her own neuroses.
Guess what? It, shockingly, makes sense that they are together. "Scrubs" had these guys grow from bumbling interns to adults who are actually able to make informed decisions and just be together. And they still manage to be damn funny.
Chuck Bartowski & Sarah Walker ("Chuck")
This is the best pairing of the nerd and the hottie on television. While it may have been business as usual for CIA agent Sarah Walker when she was assigned to protect Chuck (or the government secrets in his brain), it eventually grew into something a bit more poignant. Chuck is awkward and dork-tastic while Sarah is out-of-this-world beautiful.
Sarah eventually found herself attracted to the innocence of Chuck and what ensues is an amusing and charming relationship that is hard to forget.
Jim and Pam ("The Office")
Is it just me, or are these comedic series really delivering on the romance? Jim and Pam are another couple with a huge believability factor.
Jim and Pam are a natural couple that enjoy each other's company.
Even before Jim professed his love to her, the two could be seen talking or annoying Dwight with such natural chemistry that viewers just had to believe they were meant for each other.
Sylar and Elle ("Heroes")
What is more disturbing than seeing a villain disfigure his enemy? Seeing a villain fall in love comes kind of close.
"Heroes" always falls short in terms of romance and they have wisely chosen to not go too in-depth with any relationship, but this couple was deviant and brilliant.
Kristin Bell gives a disturbing performance in a scene where the two go from nearly killing each other to embracing one other.
But, as we all know, when you put two villains together, you are only asking for trouble. What eventually happens is scary, yet expected.
Clark Kent and Lana Lang ("Smallville")
Sometimes the relationships that are doomed right from the start are

Happy Valentines Day Clark and Lana:
Despite being "the" quintessential representation of star-crossed lovers whose love was doomed from the start, you had one of the most intense and passion filled love affairs on TV! It is the type of intense love that is never forgotten (at least not by me). (Continued…)
