For a newer show: Claire and Jamie in _Outlander_ had a lot of sexual heat going on. Lot’s of porn-light scenes that were pretty convincing. ---

While I never thought The Nanny’s Maxwell and Fran had any chemistry, C.C. and Niles were smoking hot, even before they got together. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Regarding Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie, I remember reading an analysis pointing out how anti-feminist those shows were. Both husbands had wives capable of amazing magic but required their wives largely to stay home and do housework the old-fashioned way. I’ve seen the same point made about Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. Lucy was emotionally abused by him. ---

Both husbands had wives capable of amazing magic but required their wives largely to stay home and do housework the old-fashioned way. I’ve heard it as a metaphor for class divisions. Samantha was from a family of old-money aristocrats. Darren had climbed from working class to middle class. He knew that the [del]inheritance[/del] magic would not last forever, so he wanted to make sure that their children knew how to work for a living. ---

The Wikipedia article says that the show writers made it up but describes some maneuvers that have since been given the same name. If you should happen to try one, please let us know the result. ---

So many of these series seem to be very old. I was looking to see if the OP specified any dates but I couldn’t see any. So I would pick the lead couple from The Americans - Phillip & Elizabeth. To be specific, I never really cared about Phillip. But I had many sleepless nights dreaming about Elizabeth. She would have been much more sexy if she had spoken in a heavy Russian accent and said things like, “Dahlink”! “Kiss me Lovah”. So many other things she could have said. I don’t know just what it is about Keri Russel. But I have always found her to be attractive in the extreme. If this was not a moderated board, I would have a whole lot more to say about Keri Russel. ---
