Let's reverse last week's question. Who got together, in films, books or television, that never should have? Whose happiness ruined your viewing pleasure?
The first thing I thought of was Roger Moore and Grace Jones in A View to a Kill but it's been a while and I can't honestly recall if they hooked up or not. (He ends up with Tanya Roberts at the end of the film.)
I didn't think Max and 99 getting together hurt Get Smart that much, but I know I'm in the minority on that one. And there are still some good episodes in that last season. One of my guilty pleasure episodes featured Vincent Price as the KAOS "mad pharmacist." :-)
I DREAM OF JEANNIE. I liked it better when Jeannie irritated Larry Hagman from inside her very cool 60's pink genie bottle. When they got married, that sort of ruined the fun.

The two guys from Brokeback Mountain.
ReplyDeleteBev, Very cool!
ReplyDeleteACG, LOL! Well played!
ArmChairGeneral beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I wasn't thrilled with Maxwell Smart and 99 getting together, that kind of killed the show.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wasn't thrilled with that whole Obama / Helen Thomas thing. . . or did I imagine that?
"Obama / Helen Thomas thing. "
ReplyDeleteEw

Mulder and Scully. One of the many, many things wrong with the 2nd movie. It just doesn't work.

ReplyDeleteJG, I agree completely (horrible movie and the whole getting together thing seemed exploitive to me).
ReplyDeleteWriter X, I'd forgotten about that -- good call!
ReplyDeleteBev, to this day, the frog says it never happened.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mulder and Scully.
