When there are two protagonists in a film or television show, you know it will be great. Two is always better than one, as the saying goes, and the story can be twice as interesting as well. The interplay between the two characters completes the characters, and we can all agree that the show would be missing an important piece of storytelling without it.

We’ve seen a number of legendary pairings on our screens over the years. Despite being in a finished film or television program, the characters were unforgettable. Even though the actors have taken on different jobs and years have passed, we can’t help but smile when they reunite with their on-screen partners. It can even transport us back in time, allowing us to escape the real world and find solace in a familiar setting, which is something that many of us desperately need in this day and age.
