What Twosome Has the Best Chemicals on TV?

Entertainment Weekly is looking for nominations for the best chemestry on television and everyone's jumping on board. EW is pushing that weird couple from Bones (we'd rather watch the wall than that show) and AfterEllen has some lesbonotic nominations like Jack and Karen and Bette and Tina.

And, of course, we have our favorites below. Go ahead and hollar in disagreement or post the couple you'd like to play bologna sandwich with in the comments.

Balki and Larry, Perfect Strangers. Has it been so long that we've forgotten Balki and his "COUSIN LARRY APPLETON"??!!!

Liz and Jack, 30 Rock. So we like odd couples, sue us. Any pairing that can make Alec Baldwin appealing should be given an award.

Angela and Jordan, My So Called Life. Dear God. These two were responsible for so many teenage bisexual desires. Just look at Jared Leto back when he was cute. And quiet.

A Little Entertainment to Go With Your Quarterlife Crisis

MySpace is featuring a new web series called Quarterlife. Made by the creators of My So Called Life, Quarterlife follows six quarterlifers as they do quarterlife shit like have loud sex, get crapped on at work, blog, and play table hockey. It probably goes without saying that we are huge My So Called Life fans. Like talk about Rayanne and Ricki as though they're real, run home in the rain to make the opening credits when the car breaks down huge My So Called Life fans. And the new series?

It's OK, but we probably wouldn't skip game night with Jessica Biel to watch. Quarterlife doesn't suck. It also doesn't rock. Blogger Dylan makes a little mess for herself when she tells the Internet that her roommate is a slutty alcoholic and her neighbor is in love with her best friend. As people who tell the Internet things, we can say with confidence that if we told you that our roommate was a slutty alcoholic (she isn't!) and our neighbor is in love with our best friend (again, is not!), we would not only be out on our asses eating from garbage cans, but our mother wouldn't even talk to us (she's in love with our neighbor). So, the fact that people forgive her and learn about themselves from her "blogging" and she doesn't end up with any broken bones is kind of unrealistic. Plus the show is earnest and mopey in THAT WAY where little problems are totally insurmountable and all-consuming.

But something about Quarterlife is addictive. The web shows are unselfconscious and while the writing is in no way outstanding, the videos look good, capture the characters well, and make us interested in their stories. Plus, we are My So Called Life junkies and we'd beg, borrow, and steal for even the weakest hit off that rock.
