It’s that time of year again: the few weeks before Valentine’s Day when we’re all constantly reminded of our relationship status. I could’ve easily written about television’s best couples, but we’ve all read that before (and know that Jim and Pam would top the list). I decided instead to make up a list of TV’s best platonic relationships. It’s rare to find characters on television today that have relationships with members of the opposite sex that don’t involve any romantic complications, so let’s celebrate them this week! Whether or not you’re spending the weekend with someone special, all the “couples” listed below are endlessly fun to watch and examples of great, real relationships.

Leslie Knope & Ron Swanson on “Parks and Recreation” (NBC)

Obviously these two had to be put on the top of the list because they have possibly the greatest relationship ever. Ron and Leslie understand each other’s crazy. Leslie is the only person who could save Ron from Tammy 2, and Ron is pretty much always Leslie’s voice of reason. He even punched Councilman Jamm at Leslie and Ben’s wedding for her. They also taught us that a friendship bonded in love for breakfast food, especially waffles, is a friendship that will last forever.

Jaime Lannister & Lady Brienne of Tarth on “Game of Thrones” (HBO)

These two had a rocky start, but ended up as besties: an example that the best relationships can be created in the most unlikely circumstances. They started out literally almost killing each other in a sword fight, but they ended with Jaime jumping into a bear pit to save Brienne from death. Only these two could make a season-long storyline of traveling across the wilderness together exciting.

Emily Thorne & Nolan Ross on “Revenge” (ABC)

Nolan and Ems have been friends since the beginning. They were first bonded in hiding the secret of Emily’s real identity, but now that more people know the truth, we can see that they have a real friendship. They’ve had their ups and downs, usually involving their significant others, but they’ve never gone more than a few episodes without being friends. Their goodbye dance at Emily’s recent, ill-fated wedding to Daniel was one of the most emotional parts of the episode. Thankfully, these two don’t appear to be having a permanent goodbye anytime soon.

Don Draper & Peggy Olson on Mad Men (AMC)

Don and Peggy might not call each other “friends,” but by the end of season six, there was no denying these two have a deep (platonic) love for each other. Don and Peggy’s relationship is usually based solely in the office, but they also share each other’s deepest secrets, which neither has ever shared with anyone else. They star together in one of the series’ best episodes, “The Suitcase” (season 4, episode 7). And Peggy telling Don she was leaving SCDP in season five was one of the most emotional moments in the show’s history.

Dwight Schrute & Pam Beesly-Halpert on The Office (NBC, Netflix)

I had to include these two even though “The Office” ended last year because they have one of TV’s best ever platonic relationships, but it’s always been overshadowed by Jim and Pam’s relationship. Dwight comforting a heartbroken Pam in “Back from Vacation” (season 3, episode 12) remains one of the sweetest moments of the show. Appropriately, their relationship ended with Dwight saying in the last few minutes of the series finale that “Pamela Beesly-Halpert is my best friend.”
