Live Poll: Duo-Themed TV Series

Whether through love, friendship or co-working, many TV series owed their popularity to the exciting dynamics of a memorable duo which means two equally entertaining forces driving the show together and proudly posing in its poster. Which of these TV series had the most memorable duo? https://www.imdb.com/list/ls029973060/ https://www.imdb.com/poll/Lxnd9cTu_Tc/

I added all suggestions, partners are tricky but one can't say that they don't form a duo, I wonder if I should add Dragnet, I wish all the posters could only have the two characters.to emphasize the "duo" aspect

Ross Martin is listed as "credit only" on nine episodes of 104. Doesn't seem like *that* many missing.

I have a problem with partners and sidekicks, it should be duos with two leads, I wasn't too sure about "Batman" but the poster convinced me. Besides, they've got to ne mildly popular TV series, you ask a relevant question about the "genre", "Tom and Jerry" would be a perfect example... I'll brainstorm on that poll :)

You say "duo-themed series" - am I correct in assuming that means you're not just looking for duos in a series, but that the series actually focuses on the duo? For example, Troy and Abed are a great duo on Community who I would wholly recommend. But the show isn't only about them, so I didn't include them. Am I reading this correctly?I second:Wild Wild West - Jim and ArtemusMork & MindyPsych - Shawn and GusMad About You - Paul and JamiePortlandia - Fred and CarrieFlight of the Conchords - Jemaine and BretDragnet - Sergeant Joe Friday and Officer Bill GannonThe Man from UNCLE - Solo and KuryakinI Spy - Kelly and ScottQuantum Leap - Sam and AlFYC:Supernatural - Sam and DeanThe Flintstones - Fred and BarneyThe Honeymooners - Ralph and NortonSherlock/Elementary - Holmes and WatsonLaw & Order: SVU - Benson and StablerTom & JerryRocky & Bullwinkle

ElM,Please correct your Discussion link back from:https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/categories/imdb_imdb_pollTo:https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/poll-suggestion-duo-themed-tv-series- - -For your consideration: Kate & Allie (1984–1989)When Allie Lowell divorces her husband and gets custody of their two children, she moves to New York City and moves in with her best friend, Kate McArdle, also divorced and raising a daughter. They form a unique kind of family unit in this comedy from the 1980s. Rizzoli & Isles (2010–2016)Detective Jane Rizzoli and Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles team up to solve crimes in Boston.
