Line 180:
* In ''[[Ellen]]'', Paige and Spence, who at first hated each other, become passionate lovers after the course of season three.
* ''[[iCarly]]'' does this with Sam and Freddie for their brief hook up in season 4. [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|Regardless of whether]] you are a [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Seddie or Creddie]] shipper, and while Sam and Freddie's fighting could be ([[Shipping Goggles|and definitely was by their shippers]]) interpreted as [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], the actual hook up comes off like this. Rather than a convincing [[Slap Slap Kiss]], as most BST couples get, all the audience gets is Freddie using his very strange mood app ([[Deus Ex Machina|which receives no explanation]]) to read Sam's mood, which reveals it as "in love", which Freddie thinks applies to Brad, and when he confronts Sam about it, she suddenly kisses him. While the next episode (aptly titled iLostMyMind) addresses how odd this is for her, she acts [[Chickification|completely out of character]] in the episodes they're together with the normally tough girl [[The Ladette|ladette]] Sam, acting [[Sickeningly Sweethearts|ridiculously lovey dovey]] with Freddie.
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'' played [[Played for Laughs|this for laughs]] with Jackie and Hyde's hookup in Season 5. The two initially don't like each other at all, and it was only through their common friends that they're even in the same vicinity. They become better friends in Season 2 after he shows her how to deal with Laurie stealing Kelso from her. In Season 3, she becomes attracted to him and develops a clingy infatuation with him, which he's annoyed by, but he eventually caves and takes her out on a date. The two share a kiss, but Jackie says it didn't do anything for her and finally realizes Hyde isn't the guy for her. At this point they seem to have effectively [[Ship Sinking|been sunk]], and it's not brought up again until the Season 5 premier, when the others leave the room, and the two suddenly start making out and continue to do so. In the next episode, a flashback reveals they were watching TV and complaining about how bored they were, when they look at each other for a few seconds and spontaneously started making out. Yet, their relationship comes off as much more believable due because they give off a ton of chemistry together and by the fact that they initially spend a lot of time lampshading how strange it is.
** Sadly, the show also plays very straight in [[Post Script Season|Season 8]], with not one, not two, but ''three'' pairings.
*** The first is Hyde and Sam. In the last episodes of the previous season, Jackie and Hyde had encountered issues with their relationship resulting in Hyde taking a trip to Las Vegas to clear his head. In the first episode of Season 8, he returns, and his and Jackie's great relationship is completely tossed out the window when Sam shows up completely out of the blue and reveals that Hyde [[What Did I Do Last Night?|got drunk]] and ''[[Accidental Marriage|married her]]''. Jackie spends a total of one episode afterward angsting over this before moving on, and while Sam isn't a bad character, she and Hyde have absolutely no chemistry together.
