From the episode Power Play.
To which I just have to say…“Humped like Weasels” would make a helluva name for a rock band.
Veering back on course, I nominate:
Picard & Dr. Crusher
Matt Dillon & Miss Kitty
Helene and Frank.
Regarding the Gilligan’N’Skipper slash … I just can’t see “little buddy” pitching. Almost certainly, the Skipper would be pitching.
We’re talking unconsummated affairs, JThunder!

Dear Editors:
You know, I wasn’t really celibate. In fact, I’ve lost count of the number of times Alcibiades or Aristophanes or Analingus put it to me up the ass. So, if a girl tells you she wants a Platonic relationship, it’s doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to sleep with you. It means she wants you to fuck her up the ass. Immediately.

How about George Michael and Maebe?
After seeing Smallville last night, I have to say Clark Kent & Lex Luthor.
Well, he did get to second base.

Fergus and Dil in The Crying Game.
I think there are a lot of male couples because of the strong taboo against homosexuality. That makes the obsticale to consummation practically insurmountable with mainstream fiction.
Before the films existed, I thought there was something odd between Merry and Pippin, but never between Frodo and Sam. See Frodo and Sam are the epitome of the officer and batman relationships within the WW1 ( and earlier ) UK army which were never unconsumated love affairs (even if the officer and/or batman were gay, they would both seek out partners within the same social niche, not have interest in each other).
Maybe something is wrong with me, but the first thing I thought:
Fonzie and Mrs. C.
Depends on who you asked; I have an ex-girlfriend who’d say it was CONSUMMATED, as she insists they were having an affair. I always saw it as a mother-son thing though, huh. I even have an insane fanwank explaining it.
Oooh, a reply directly to me! Thanks, **Skald ** I’m new to this (message boards in general, SDMB specifically), and that made me feel kind of…special. You were my first, I’ll never forget you…perhaps I need to get out more.
I’m not familiar with “fanwank” though I’m assuming it means what I think it does. Where can I read this, it sounds like fun?
My theory on Fonzie and Mrs. C was along the lines that he couldn’t get the Mrs. so he attempted to do the rest of Milwaukee in a sad attempt to fill in the void by not getting the sexy mom-type. But, he did live over the Cunningham garage, which is quite a convenient love shack while Howard was at work so your ex just may have something there.
There is an outrageous outtake with Fonzie & Mr & Mrs C in the Cunningham’s living room. Fonzie starts putting the moves on Mrs C, and The C’s just keep carrying on till finally Mrs C & Fonzie are locked in a big wet kiss.
How Tom Bosley kept a straight face is beyond me.
Dobie Gillis and Zelda Gilroy.

Considering there was a reunion movie where it was revealed , they had married and had a son , the question is answered.
I’m suprised no one else has mentioned Jay and Silent Bob.
“I’m Jay, and this is my hetero life-mate Silent Bob.”
Other choices:
Detectives Stabler and Benson
Monk and Captain Stotlemeyer
J.D. is John Dorian and Turk is Chris Turk from the TV show Scrubs.
Entertainment Weekly listed them as the best relationship on television. They are super nerdy, heterosexual, best friends that love each other dearly.
J.D. even calls Turk(who is black) “brown bear”.
I’m trying to remember if Turk ever calls J.D. “vanilla bear”.
It’s just a great relationship that isn’t really romantic, but is deep and portrayed very well.
“King of Queens” is appropriately named: It has Doug & Deacon, Spence & Danny, and Spence & Arthur
I should have looked that up, then posted.
Apparently, JD has called himself Vanilla Bear as well. So it kind of goes both ways.
