TMP Television Edition: Workplace Romance
Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
Today’s theme is Workplace Romance (Television Edition).
Jake & Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)
Two police detectives at the 99th Precinct in Brooklyn, Jake and Amy are the epitome of opposites attract. Amy (Melissa Fumero) is a Type-A perfectionist with a love of pens and organization. Jake (Andy Samberg) is a man-child who doesn’t pay his bills and has daddy issues. Watching them go from colleagues to friends to lovers is such a joy, and I truly appreciate that the show didn’t play around with an on-again-off-again relationship here. Once Jake and Amy committed, they committed.
Scully & Mulder (The X-Files)
My precious babies. The X-Files is one of my all-time favorite shows, and the Mulder and Scully relationship was vital to the show’s success. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have amazing chemistry, and I would have loved them together even if their relationship had never strayed into the area of romance. Even when it did, it never overshadowed the point of the show. They’re still one of my favorite television couples.
David & Patrick (Schitt's Creek)
Ahhhh. I love these two so much. Schitt’s Creek is a fantastic show, and by the time David meets down-to-earth Patrick, we’re more than ready to see David finally find some happiness. Patrick was exactly the kind of guy David needed in his life, and it’s simply the best to watch them go from business partners to something more.

Mulder and Scully! My first ship before I even knew what shipping was.
They really did invent the term “shipping”!
I have always wanted to see Brooklyn Nine-Nine but just never got around to it plus my hubby seemed very disinterested. I didn’t want to tape another series to watch. I will try and find the episodes to watch from the start. The X-Files is such a great show and I was so hoping they would do more episodes even if they resurrected the Cig Man. These 2 always had great chemistry. I love Schitt’s Creek and watched it from the start. It’s simply brilliant.
Brooklyn 99 is a really easy show to watch and very binge-able!
Amy and Jake are super cute.
I watched X-Files as a kid so I don’t remember much of their romantic relationship.
I’ve just started Schitt’s Creek since they just added it to out Netflix last month and I’m enjoying the series.
I am glad you’re enjoying Schitt’s Creek! It’s one I rewatch constantly.
OMG I really need to sit down and watch Schitt’s Creek!
Yes!!! It’s such a wonderful show.
