Random TV Husbands And Wives Really Thought Of Each Other (12 items)

  (#2) I Love Lucy

  • Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance

  I Love Lucy gave audiences plenty of belly laughs over the years, and one of the main sources of those chuckles were Lucy and Ricky's antics. Unfortunately, the real-life marriage between the two was anything but happy.

  The couple was already separated before filming for the show even began. One frequent point of contention was Arnaz's constant womanizing. An article from People magazine had made its way on set and into Lucy's hands. In it, Lucy's publicist Charles Pomerantz spilled the beans on Arnaz's infidelity. 

  “Everybody was frozen on the set,” he recalled. “She finally came out, tossed the magazine to Desi and said, 'Oh, hell, I could tell them worse than that.'”

  Between Arnaz's cheating and the couple's fighting, few were surprised by their eventual divorce.

  (#8) Full House

  • Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier

  Full House became an instant cult classic among viewers. While it was never received well by critics, it continued for eight seasons. The spin-off Netflix series Fuller House, launched in 2016, featured many of the original cast members, including John Stamos, who not only appeared on the show, but also produced it.

  He and his on-screen wife, Lori Loughlin, are considered by fans to be one of the best couples in TV history. The two even dated when they were teenagers. Perhaps that's why the pair had such an amazing connection while playing a married couple.

  Despite their real-life chemistry, they both stated that the timing was never right. According to Stamos, "We did have some off timing, but no disrespect to her family and her husband now, I would say that she could be the one that got away."

  (#6) The Jeffersons

  • Isabel Sanford, Sherman Hemsley, Marla Gibbs

  The Jeffersons was way ahead of its time and was filled to the brim with talents like Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford, who played husband-and-wife team George and Louise Jefferson. The day Sanford met Hemsley, though, she was unaware he would be playing her husband. When she found out, she side-eyed the “little man," declaring she could "squash him like a bug.”

  Sanford's nickname on the show, "Weezy," came from Hemsley's youth - he had used the same nickname on a childhood sweetheart, also named Louise. On set, however, Sanford was called "The Queen" or "The Queen Bee." Hemsley fondly remembers everyone bowing to her when she entered a room.

  (#12) Bones

  • Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin

  Bones fans were overjoyed when Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) married and had a baby on the procedural drama. However, few knew that Boreanaz and Deschanel argued regularly behind the scenes. Boreanaz said as much when he told reporters that Deschanel is very opinionated and would constantly interrupt him when he spoke to the show's directors:

  I'm constantly poking her shoulder and getting under her skin. I think it's part of my job. She's very opinionated. I could be talking to a director or producer and she'll put her two cents in. It's annoying and I've told her about it, but she keeps on doing it.

  (#4) Modern Family

  • Ed O'Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, Jeremy Maguire, Reid Ewing

  Modern Family's cast is chock-full of amazing actors, and the show has earned numerous Emmy awards and nominations. Since the show's 2009 premiere, the cast members have shared plenty of positive sentiments about their costars.

  Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen, who play husband and wife Phil and Claire Dunphy, respectively, get along swimmingly. It's common knowledge that Burrell is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood and a pure joy to work with - in fact, Bowen explained that Burrell makes her feel guilty for how low her own moral standards are.

  (#3) All in the Family

  • Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner

  All in the Family is often remembered as one of the best sitcoms in American TV history. It was adapted from the British show Till Death Do Us Part, and although the first season was considered a dud, it quickly gained viewership during the second. It was known for dealing with sensitive topics such as intolerance against different races and sexual orientations. 

  Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker, had nothing but good things to say about her on-screen husband Carroll O'Connor. During their first and last tandem talk show appearance, O'Connor insisted that Stapleton loved him. She didn't deny it as they discussed All in the Family, as well as O'Connor's film that was coming out at the time.
