TV s Cutest Couples

April 20th 2010 05:40

This post is dedicated to the sweet couples in TV land. I’m not talking about the usual, tension-filled, will-they/won’t-they relationships riddled with angst and chaos, but the kind that make you go, “Awwww!” every time they cast a shy glance at each other or awkwardly attempt something more.

For me, these five immediately came to mind, and so, in no particular order, I present to you my Cute Couples of TV Land:

Chuck and Ned-Pushing Daisies




She was dead and he can bring people back to life. With one touch, childhood sweethearts, Ned and Charlotte “Chuck” Charles are together again, and even though they can never touch (for fear of sending her back to the grave permanently), they still find creative ways to show how much they care. Whether it’s holding their own hand behind their back at the same time, or kissing between a sheet of plastic wrap, these two were clearly meant to be.



Sweets and Daisy-Bones



He’s an FBI psychologist who looks too young to be taken seriously, and she’s an annoyingly peppy forensic grad student who can’t hide the fact that she’s super excited to be working with Dr. Brennan. Despite the fact that they both deal in death on a day to day basis, these two just can’t seem to wipe the smiles off their faces for long. He’s her Lancelot, and she’s his coma dream tambourine girl. Recently, Sweets got down on one knee right there in the lab to propose, and all I can say is I can’t wait for the wedding!


Hiro and Charlie-Heroes



He traveled through time again and again to save her, and she learned Japanese so she could tell him she loved him in his native language. When he learned she was dying of a brain tumor, he hung a thousand paper cranes so she could make her wish, and when she was stuck back in time, he risked his own life to find her. Hiro and Charlie. Two of the cutest people fate ever brought together, time and time again.


Will and Emma-Glee



He was married to an awful wife taking advantage of him, and she has a serious phobia of germs, but that didn’t keep these two from ending up together over and over again. He helped her with her wedding songs mash up and she was there to take the Glee kids to sectionals when the rules said he couldn’t go. Whether it was cleaning the classrooms after school or taking the kids on a field trip and sharing a peanut butter sandwich, these two are just both so very nice. You can’t help but root for this musically gifted, oh so sweet together couple, even if things do keep getting in their way.


Chuck and Becky-Supernatural



He’s a writer/prophet, and she’s a fangirl/Samgirl. At least at the beginning. When Becky the super fan of the Supernatural books finds out the story is real, she falls madly in love with Sam, not the writer Chuck, but the character/real Sam. That is, until she sees Chuck in action. What can you say? Slashing iron through a creepy kid ghost and saving a room full of LARPing “Sam” and “Dean”s is the true way to this girl’s heart. Just goes to show you that sometimes writers do get the girl.


So who’s your favorite? Who makes you cock your head to the side in a lopsided grin and say, “They’re just so darn cute!”

5 Do-it-yourself TV-themed gifts

December 12th 2008 23:50
In these tough times money is tight and morale is low, so why not cheer up your best fanboy or girl with these easy to make gifts based on your favorite shows?

1. Anatomy Jane: The Paper Doll Version

That’s right, remember paper dolls? Back in the day before virtual “Twinky dolls”, we had real paper cut-outs ,with real tabs, that really fell off when you tried to send your paper girl to the paper mall with her paper boy. Inspired by this season’s Grey’s Anatomy episode “Life During Wartime”, this is the perfect gift for anyone! From five-year-olds with depressed doctor mothers, to your average therapy-hating residents, this gift is easy to make and educational too.


Supplies: Paper. Colored pencils. Scissors.

Instructions:

1. Visit the Popular Human Body Printables for your choice of immune system, anatomy, or the five senses.
2. Start cutting. (Don’t forget the tabs! May need slits in doll for smaller organs.)
3. Print all systems for maximum dressup fun!

(Note: Will need to print at least two. One to gut, one to cut. Requires the ability to draw legs and face yourself.)


2. EMF Detector

Inspired by Sam Winchester’s own walkman-turned-EMF detector, here’s a way to make your own!



(click for larger version)

Description:
This lovely circuit is a real gem! Easy to assemble and more sensitive than many commercial devices available. It's based around an LF351 low-noise operational amplifier and a 1mF choke acting as the sensor. Unlike most other simple EMF detectors, this one has a meter output for accurate reading, but alternatively, you can also roughly estimate the frequency of the field by plugging in headphones. It can detect any field from 50Hz to 100kHz, making it highly versatile and a worthwhile addition to any hobbyist's workbench.

Or for proper Supernatural instructions, please call Dean Winchester for his brother's number: 1-866-907-3235. (Update: The number has been disabled due to phone being destroyed.)
