Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one

Friends- lots of romantic entaglements but mainly Chandler/Monica, Ross/Rachel, and Joey/Rachel

How I Met Your Mother - two of the main characters are a steady couple, the other three are a love triangle

Big Bang Theory- by the end, it’s three couples and one single guy

Any shows like these where the main characters never date each other or hook up with each other?

      The British one would qualify as one with no romantic entaglements (if you don’t count the living couple) but the American one has several couples in the core group Thor/Flower, Trevor/Hetty, Pete/Alberta

        Also, Thomas+Allison.

        It was one-sided and played for laughs, but it’s pretty much always there, so you might count it.

          They even recycled a lot of the same basic characters and plot points. It’s has a pretty different feel though, so I’m not sure whether to be mad.

            TIL. Did any of them deviate much from the original set-up, or is there a too-nice scoutmaster with an arrow through the neck in all of them?

              I’ve only watched the British and American ones but I think all or most of them have a character like that
