Everybody Is Single: Difference between revisions

 

Compare [[All Love Is Unrequited]].

 

* Any show with military underpinnings usually does this as well, since it would be "improper" to actually have a relationship within the ranks. ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' in particular usually plays fast and hard with this trope (and when two officers ''do'' get married, they always seem to be the same rank at least).

* At the beginning of the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' miniseries, almost every member of the main and supporting cast is single, but by the end of Season 2 everyone is already hooked up or on their way there. During the year-long gap in the timeline between the Season 2 finale and the beginning Season 3, the [[Love Dodecahedron]] of the previous season has resolved itself into four reasonably [[Happily Married]] couples.

* The only married character of ''[[Criminal Minds (TV)|Criminal Minds]]'' divorced in the third season--but everyone's favorite tech kitten is dating ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'''s Xander, and it looks like certain other characters might start getting some... Also, JJ has been living with and dating Will since season three. They even have a son together!

** The Chief and Bailey were both stressfully married, McDreamy had just split with Redheaded Doctor after banging McSteamy, so the grown-ups weren't even coping. In fact given the state of Izzie-Alex, George-Callie and Yang-Burke GA is not really an advert for the medical profession.

** In later seasons we get more stable relationships. Meredith and Darek are happily married and Owen and Christina are giving marriage a fair shot. Alex and Izzie got married but that ended badly when Izzie was written out. Even Mark seems to be looking for a stable relationship. Arizona has proposed to Callie even with the entire Callie-carrying-Mark's-baby debacle.

** Though they all date throughout the show.

* When ''[[Parks and Recreation (TV)|Parks and Recreation]]'' started, Tom was the only character who was married. He later got a divorce (in an episode titled "Tom's Divorce", no less).
