29 TV Friendships That Were So Pure, They Were Total Goals

If it ain't a Golden Girls friendship, I don't want it.

We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community which TV characters are their ultimate friendship goals. Here's what they said!

1. Ilana and Abbi from Broad City.

Comedy Central

"The ultimate friendship goals and proof you need to find your tribe."

—samk4bddc8d02

2. Leslie and Ron from Parks and Recreation.

NBC

"They are so supportive of each other and it's so endearing to see two people who are COMPLETE opposites have such a strong friendship."

—ailsafoley14

3. John and Sherlock from Sherlock.

BBC One

"They're complete opposites, but they need each other. Sherlock gets John out of his comfort zone, and John helps Sherlock with EVERYTHING."

—ThatOneSheerio

4. JD and Turk from Scrubs.

NBC

"The fact that they were friends through med school and then beyond Sacred Heart warms my soul. The actors are also genuine friends in real life. Proper friendship goals."

—j45b45586a

5. David and Stevie from Schitt's Creek.

CBC

"Hands down. Final answer. I don’t even know what to say about it. It’s just perfect in a weird, heart warming way."

—miker4524dbb87

6. Rose, Blanche, Dorothy, and Sophia from Golden Girls.

NBC

"They were sarcastic to each other, they said some pretty outrageous things, could be mean, but they always had each other’s backs when it was needed."

—jays411d7a2f2

7. Miley and Lilly from Hannah Montana.

Disney Channel

"These two were always friendship goals. They had their ups and downs and grew together as people. They were really like sisters! And Lilly was a real one for keeping one of the biggest secrets EVER for Miley!"

—samanthab46fff2ef7

8. Sam and Blaine from Glee.

Fox

"I love how we got to see Blaine with someone other than Kurt and get to know more of his personal life. Seeing how they worked so well was super cute and was honestly one of the things that held the show together."

—g4c421cb7b

9. Fiona and Veronica from Shameless.

Showtime

"They're so brutally honest with each other, always have the other's back and actually give a shit about the other's life. V and Kev were even ready to adopt the Gallaghers despite their carefree lives, just so they wouldn't get sent into foster homes!"

—chaitra1310

10. Jess and Cece from New Girl.

Fox

"They're absolutely my favourite. They're just the perfect match for each other and are both equally hilarious. They're BFF goals for me."

—prettyinpurple264

11. Cristina and Meredith from Grey's Anatomy.

ABC

"The Twisted Sisters! I love their slightly co-dependent relationship with their dark humour! Considering all the crap they've been through, you can't really blame them for choosing each other above all else."

—fredadekock

12. Ted and Marshall from How I Met Your Mother.

NBC

"College roommates turned best friends through road trips and stupid adventures, that later move to the city together and remain close through adulthood? Love!"

—hannahisheretoplaypokemon

13. Rosa and Amy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Fox

"Their friendship is so beautiful and pure and showcases two equally powerful women who have each other's backs. Generally shows tend to make these kinds of women foes, but not B99."

—angelikaanthony

14. Troy and Abed from Community.

Original network NBC

"They have one of the best TV Friendships in history. Hands down, bar none. No matter the situation, or the other people in their lives, they are unabashedly each other’s soul mates."

—rebeccam4ae953e2d

15. Arya and Sandor from Game of Thrones.

HBO

"I love watching them blossom from her adding him to 'her list' to her becoming pretty much the only person he really cares about. And their last scene together in season eight got me emotional. When she said “thank you” to him it almost made me cry."

—alexkingscott

16. Emma and Regina from Once Upon A Time.

ABC

"They started out as enemies but ended up as really good friends who co-raised their son, continuously saved each other’s lives, and fought side by side to protect the ones they loved."

—megzyduk

17. Jane and Petra from Jane The Virgin.

The CW

"They started out as enemies but you could see their friendship progress as they had children and they grew up as a family. I just loved how their friendship blossomed."

—dageekyunicorn

18. Scooby and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.

CBS

"A friendship beyond words. No matter how bad things got, Shaggy always had treats for his bestie, who in return always had his back. ❤️"

—kristinw49b7cbdb7

19. Betty and Christina from Ugly Betty.

ABC

"Christina is so supportive, helps her confidence, and defends her from the people who work at Mode, and in return, Betty helps Christina with difficult points in her life!"

—brittanyd467510fc0

20. Lorelai and Sookie from Gilmore Girls.

The WB

"They’re so cute with each other and have each other’s backs so much throughout the show."

—laur4a100fe54

21. And don't forget Lorelai and Rory's unique friendship.

The WB

"They may also be mother and daughter but their friendship is so important. Their relationship with each other is something that you should envy because they’re so close!"

—xxtyxxs

22. Nate and Ray from Legends of Tomorrow.

The CW

"I love how they are openly affectionate with each other - they hug and bump shoulders, talk about their feelings and are also so, so supportive of each other. There is a total lack of that toxic male bravado and stoic, unfeeling masculinity BS. I think we need to see more of this in media so that boys can grow up knowing that it's okay to hug and ask for hugs and it's okay to feel your emotions, talk about them and cry if you need to."

—ravenbard

23. Hitchcock and Scully from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Fox

"Jake and Charles are a good team, but these two take the cake for me. This is a friendship expanding over decades, they respect all the weirdness and are basically attached to each other 24/7, while still retaining their distinct personalities. Definitely #friendshipgoals."

—mickakov

24. Lorna and Nicky on Orange is the New Black...

Netflix

These two are ultimate goals even at the end when Nicky has to let her go because she knows it’s for the best."

—lewisf405540aaa

25. And of course Taystee and Poussey.

Netflix

"Their friendship was so pure and they really cared for each other. They laughed together, cried together, and had each other's backs until the end."

–hanifahrahman

26. Honey and Jessica from Fresh Off The Boat.

ABC

"They're completely different people but are always there for each other and bond over scary movies and Black Friday shopping. It proves you don't have to be the exact same to be best friends."

—millieekehoe

27. The Tenth Doctor and Donna.

BBC

"They both made it clear they weren't looking for love and there was no unique sexual tension between them. They were just mates who brought out the best in each other. When she lost her memory and had to return home the Doctor properly grieved for the Donna he’d been racketing around the universe with."

—jbmasta

28. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe from Friends...

NBC

"They’re always supportive of each other, and have such a sweet and genuine friendship."

—golddustniamh

29. ...And Joey and Chandler, of course!

NBC

"Their friendship was so pure and every time they hugged, I knew they were the ultimate definition of best friends! There's nothing like a good bromance! #ChannoeyForever."
