No edit summary
Line 121:
* ''[[Moonlighting]]'', starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis. Maddie (Shepherd) is a chic, smart, former supermodel who's dead serious about running the business; David (Willis) is a glib, lighthearted, and pragmatic Private Investigator.
* The show ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'' revolves around this trope. Dharma is a free-spirited, tolerant, and ditzy flower child. While Greg is an upright, conservative, somewhat uptight lawyer. Despite the fact that they have virtually nothing in common they got married on their first date.
* ''[[iCarly]]'': [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] or [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]] with the [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)|Sam/Fredde]] arc depending on what aspect you look at. The subversion is they are complete and total opposites that become physically attracted to each other but eventually break up when the actual relationship fails. They are unable to find any common ground in their interests and actually end up sabotaging them for each other when they try being involved in each other's activities. It ends up being one of the main causes of their break up. The inversion is Sam wants someone abnormal like her, and Freddie wants someone more normal like him, so that while they did have an Opposites Attract vibe, it's not what they need in a partner, making it clear that in their case they are attracted by similarity not opposition.
* ''[[Bones]]'' has the coldly intelligent, scientific, atheist, hyper-rational titular character and her partner the FBI agent- religious, more emotional, more of a people person. Clearly they complement each other, but each also finds the other fascinating and attractive.
* [[Action Girl]]/[[Hot Amazon]] Zoe in ''[[Firefly]]'' is married to [[Non-Action Guy]]/[[Ace Pilot]] Wash.
