Mulder and Scully smoldered something fierce, I think. So did Benson and Stabler.
Those kids had to know the birds and the bees early on.
It’s interesting that no one has nominated the couple that should be arguably the hottest on network TV right now.
Not only do they role play, but it’s been shown as a continuing plot point.
The wife has gone out in public naked under her rain coat just to turn on the husband.
The husband is extremely lithe and acrobatic.
Their kids definitely know what’s going on in the bedroom, to the point of thinking that their parents are even more active than they really are.
I’m talking about Phil and Claire in Modern Family. But for the record, the hottest relationship of anyone in the show was between Haley and Andy.
I agree with Joyce Davenport and Frank Furillo.
I’ll also add Lucifer and Chloe Decker.
Frank Burns and Hot Lips Houlihan in MASH, season one.
Dr. Smith and the Robot.
Kirk and Spock
Another couple from the same show (Hill Street Blues); Phil Esterhaus and Grace Gardner. So passionate that he died in the act of making love.
Stuart Markowitz, Ann Kelsey and the Venus Butterfly.
Jennifer Jones and Luke Cage.
R-rated or more.
Colonel Casey and Gertrude Verbanski.
Tony was an astronaut. That’s a pretty good job, even if you don’t need the money.
But Durwood worked in an ad agency, and had a spineless weasel for a boss. And Sam was a lot hotter than Jeannie. Very confusing for a young kid, which probably explains why I’m so confused now.
Dharma & Greg
Ross & Rachel (298 times!)
Same was pretty hot, but not as hot as Jeannie. At least go for Serena if you’re into witches.
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.
Helen and Stanley Roper.
Felix and Miriam.
(the latter also involved in another hot twosome decades later with Bob Elliot in Get a Life.)
It helps that they were and are a married couple in real life, for 46 years.
Jake and Amy from Brooklyn 99. I mean, they even roleplay as Die Hard characters in bed.
Zoe and Wash. Close the thread.
Dan and Roseanne had sex marathons when for some reason she wanted to get pregnant (on the show) that were rather candid. When she suggested round two, he said he hoped she had some new tricks in mind as he was drained (also known as A.F.O.) . They had a deep and lasting bond, and the red-hot passion fades after a couple of years, in case you didn’t know. The deep and lasting bond is what matters. But maybe that wasn’t your point, never mind.
