Oooo I love Bartlet/Abbey! And CJ/Danny! And Hodgins/Angela! Dude, we could so easily watch TV together all day long. :P
(I haven't seen FNL so not much to say there and I'm currently working my way through BSG)
So the one trend I'm seeing here is that the couples always challenge each other. The woman doesn't just sit quietly back and let the man lead, but she actively leads herself. Am I wrong in thinking that the women in these pairings almost seem too good for the men (superficially)? Buffy to Spike. Angela to Hodgins. Veronica to Logan. Abbey to Bartlet (which I know is like huh, but Bartlet himself treats Abbey like she's too good for him).
The other thing I see here is these are the relationships where things get messy. Where their world isn't perfect but it's real and their love for each other gets them through it.
