Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one

Friends- lots of romantic entaglements but mainly Chandler/Monica, Ross/Rachel, and Joey/Rachel

How I Met Your Mother - two of the main characters are a steady couple, the other three are a love triangle

Big Bang Theory- by the end, it’s three couples and one single guy

Any shows like these where the main characters never date each other or hook up with each other?

    I was going to say Spaced till I remembered Twist and Brian have their weird thing and he maybe slept with Marsha. Tim and Daisy never hook up tho, but they do pretend to be a couple for a bit to get the flat.

    Black Books - Bernard does mention he once possibly might have slept with Fran but she made him forget, and then it never comes up again.

      Brian almost definitely slept with Marsha. As best as I remember from subtext and possibly the DVD extras, he was behind on rent, and Marsha made an indecent proposal. Add that to the fact that he’s hung like a horse and you understand why Marsha might retain some interest.

      Also, Tim and Daisy do eventually get together, but officially only after the series ends. Tyres saw what was going on a lot sooner than that though.

      Finally, there’s the potential that Mike might actually have more than a man-crush on Tim. They have a bromance, sure, but there might be other things going on in Mike’s head that Tim is completely oblivious to.
