No decade held more iconic TV couples than the 90s, thanks to shows like Friends, Mad About You, and Sex and the City, that practically centered around romance. Who were the 10 best TV couples from the 1990s, and what was it about these pairings that made them so wonderful? Keep reading this list to find out for yourself!

10. ZACK AND KELLY - SAVED BY THE BELL

It's hard not to appreciate the relationship between Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski on the hit 90s sitcom Saved By The Bell. These two are meant to be together and Zack has always admired Kelly as his dream woman since day one.

While we love this couple and we're happy they ended up together, the reason they are placed so high on the list is that they were a bit too predictable of a pair. They were like Mickey and Minnie in a way where there wasn't much excitement or spark to their connection. Still, they are an iconic pair and they love each other enough to deserve a spot on this list.

9. JACKIE AND HYDE - THAT 70S SHOW

That 70s Show Jackie and Hyde

Unlike Zack and Kelly who were destined to be together, Jackie and Hyde were both shocked at the fact that they held such strong feelings for one another. It came as a total surprise to both the characters and the audience who never suspected these two opposites to have dynamite chemistry with one another.

Their whole dynamic was on fire and their relationship added some spice to the series that it didn't necessarily have with any of the other couples on the show.

8. JESSE AND BECKY - FULL HOUSE

Jesse and Becky were the ultimate duo on Full House. They were absolutely crazy about each other and everything about their relationship seemed to run smoothly.

At first, we saw Uncle Jesse as a bit of a player, yet that all changed when he first laid eyes on Becky. He matured after he met her into a committed lover and there was almost never any drama between them. All there was to their relationship was pure love.

7. SLATER AND JESSIE - SAVED BY THE BELL

Slater and Jessie had chemistry and spice to their relationship that Zack and Kelly unfortunately seemed to lack. No one would ever suspect these two to end up together by forming a romantic connection because they were so different in every way, yet that is perhaps why we were so drawn to their relationship.

What made them special was the fact that their feelings for each other went deeper than physical attraction and the reason they were so into each other was because of their stimulating conversations. They helped each other become better and more open-minded people.

6. MIRANDA AND STEVE - SEX AND THE CITY

Steve attempts to kiss Miranda with foam on his nose in Sex and the City.

Miranda Hobbes was the sarcastic, tightly-wound lawyer on Sex and the City who was most certainly "Type A". Steve Brady was the laid back bartender on the show who was most definitely "Type B".

Their differences in personalities worked to benefit their relationship as well as their lives because Steve helped Miranda enjoy life while Miranda helped Steve become more responsible. Now that is the ultimate couple goals.

5. CORY AND TOPANGA - BOY MEETS WORLD

Cory and Topanga were a fantastic couple on Boy Meets World. They were the very definition of childhood sweethearts and Cory would always put Topanga on the highest pedestal. He never stopped seeing her as his dream girl and she couldn't help but have a serious soft spot for him.

They ended up happily ever after, and they were easily one of the purest and sweetest couples on TV.

4. RACHEL AND ROSS - FRIENDS

Friends Ross and Rachel timeline

Rachel and Ross are such an iconic couple in the world of television, and even though Friends is a series that blew up in the 90s, we are still constantly discussing this pair as if the series was still on air. The reason we are still talking about Ross and Rachel is because there is so much to their relationship that we are still captivated by.

Rachel Green had always been Ross's dream woman ever since high school, and that never changed. As Rachel says, the two of them will never be "off the table" because their chemistry and love for each other is undeniable.

3. FRAN AND MAXWELL SHEFFIELD

Fran Fine and Maxwell Sheffield are the ultimate couple goals on The Nanny. As we all know from the theme song, Fran started out by trying to sell makeup to their house, yet in the process, she formed a serious connection with Maxwell's children. He decided she would be the perfect Nanny for them, but she ended up becoming more like a mother to the children.

Max and Fran slowly but surely began to realize their feelings for one another, and it was incredibly sweet to witness. Fans were certain of the fact that these two characters were destined to be together.

2. SAM AND DIANE - CHEERS

Cheers was around throughout the 80s and the first couple of years in the 90s. Sam and Diane pathed way for a whole new type of romance in the world of television. They pretty much originated the "Will they/won't they" trope that we see so often in more modern shows and the spark between these two characters was unlike anything we have ever seen before.

There is so much heat between Sam and Diane, thanks to Ted Danson and Shelley Long who perfect their roles with the utmost dedication. Their love/hate relationship had us flushing and although things didn't go as planned for the two of them, we will always remember their unbreakable chemistry.

1. CHANDLER AND MONICA - FRIENDS

And last but not least, the ultimate couple from the 90s is that between Chandler Bing and Monica Geller on Friends. Any romantic relationship that puts friendship first and foremost above anything else is bound to last a lifetime.

In Chandler and Monica's case, it proves that sometimes the person who you wanted all along has been right in front of your eyes this whole time. They are in love with each other's personalities and quirks, which is what makes them such an authentic match.
