All Time Favorite TV Couple: Jackie and Hyde, That 70s Show

This was a tough category. There are so many that I love so much. But I kept coming back to these two.

Jackie Berkhart is one of the best characters to grace a television screen. This is due in no small part to Mila Kunis, who is a phenomenally good comic actress. And true, in the end, the writers screwed it up and had her end up with Fez (a decision even my older brother, who will rationalize any TV writers decision into oblivion couldn't get on board with. Seriously, this is a man who said taking away Peter Petrelli's powers on Heroes was a necessary story movement.)

But for three magical seasons we got Jackie and Hyde. Their love began as a kind of obsessive crush on Jackie's part. Then they kissed. And for some reason that didn't work. She got back with Kelso, until he bailed on her after proposing, Jackie and Hyde went for it for real. It ended tragically, when Hyde cheated on her. I wrote an entire short film that never got shot based on how that episode made me cry. Then, he wanted her back and they almost got there, except she went to visit Kelso, and he misinterpreted that, and ran away to Vegas and married a stripper.

I think my favorite thing about Jackie and Hyde though, was the banter. They could banter with the best of them. They were like Carey Grant and Katherine Hepburn in bell bottoms. Plus, you know, that time they did "You're The One That I Want" together. That was awesome.

And well, it was a grave injustice to have Jackie end up with Fez. Grave.

I loved Jackie and Hyde together! The last few episodes I kept praying that something would happen to get them back together. They brought out the best in each other. He called her out when she was being a spoiled vain brat & she got him to lighten up and enjoy life more instead of brooding so much. They were opposites but they also balanced each other out. (It made for one completely stable individual lol) They brought out each others best qualities and it was a shame that Jackie & Fez ended up together they were too much alike it was just impractical.
