There comes a time in every boy’s life when he turns away from watching cartoons and diverts his attention to the opposite sex. Unfortunately, the tricky topic of love and girls wasn’t a subject taught in school, and one too awkward to discuss with our parents.
That’s when live-action TV shows came in to save the day, with sitcoms, dramas, and even the Power Rangers letting us see the ins and outs of love for ourselves. With the influx of teen programming on TV during the ‘90s and early '00s, we saw couples slightly older than us figure out romance right before it was our turn.
Whether they lived happily ever after or went their separate ways, these 25 teen TV couples you idolized growing up taught us about love.
Pacey Witter and Joey Potter on Dawson's Creek
Played By: Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes

The creek may have been Dawson’s, but to everyone’s surprise, Joey’s affections ended up belonging to the annoying, wise-cracking, troublemaker Pacey. This was when we realized there's hope for us all.
Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts on The O.C.
Played By: Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson

With their quirky chemistry, Seth and Summer made being nerdy look cool. They dressed up for each other, but with Spider-Man and Wonder Woman costumes. Instead of dirty talk, their conversations consisted of witty banter. Their relationship was so awesome that we're still trying to keep track of it.
Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano on My So-Called Life
Played By: Claire Danes and Jared Leto
![]( "Hosted by imgur.com")
It only took one season of this grungy teen drama for Angela and Jordan to become the poster couple for ’90’s teen angst. Their relationship wasn’t always perfect, but it will remain as one of the realest on TV.
George Michael Bluth and Maeby Funke on Arrested Development
Played By: Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat

George Michael’s crush on his cousin Maeby would be incestuous, if she wasn’t a test-tube baby. This couple made all the others that actually progressed from the awkward stage of their relationship look so damn boring.
Buffy Summers and Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Played By: Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz

Even though Angel was of the bloodsucking variety, he still managed to woo TV’s hottest vampire slayer, giving us hope that a girl will one day accept our own inner demons.
