A List Of The Absolute Best And Worst TV Girlfriends Of All Time

We talk a lot about our favorite TV couples and even our favorite TV boyfriends but rarely do we shout out the other halves of these pairs — the girlfriends even we would want to be friends with. Of course sometimes you also have to take the good with the bad and we’ve seen more than our share of terrible girlfriends too. So here we put together a definitive list of the best and worst TV girlfriends in history.

Best: Gina Waters

Anybody who could tolerate Martin’s antics deserves a medal. Gina not only put up with Martin, she also knew when to put him in his place which, surprisingly, wasn’t as often as it should’ve been. Nevertheless, what we loved most about Gina was the way she could go toe-to-toe with Marty Mar and still have fun with him.

Worst: Whitley Gilbert

Dwayne may have won Whitley’s heart in the end but let’s not act like she didn’t put that man through five seasons of hell to get it. These two are hands down one of the most adorable couples in TV history, but on her own Whitley was a hot mess.

Best: Melanie Barnett

The fact that Melanie gave up her admission to Johns Hopkins Medical School so Derwin could pursue his football dreams is enough to secure her spot on the best girlfriends list. But The Game character also put up with shenanigans right and left so her boyfriend could shine on the field — including some of his own shady doings — and still she remained faithful.

Best: Myra

Myra adored Steve Urkel. How could we not love her?

Worst: Annalise Keating

At one point Annalise had a husband, a boyfriend, and a side chick. If that doesn’t qualify her for the worst girlfriend list, we’ll also add the fact that she’s a manipulative lying murderer.

Best: Synclaire James

Synclaire loved her some Overton and these two were a match made in awkward heaven.

Worst: Olivia Pope

When your boyfriend is married that kind of puts you in questionable standing. Then there’s the fact she couldn’t leave Fitz alone when she got with Jake and then you add in all the lying and murdering and you pretty much have a terrible person — fly — but terrible.

Best: Freddie

Tumblr

Nobody believed in Shazza’s mission more than Freddie. Together these two couldn’t taken over the world (if she hadn’t kissed Ron that one time). We’ll give the innocent activist a pass on that.

Worst: Dionne

Aside from being straight up boughie, Dionne was always trying to change Murray who was too soft to stand up to his demanding girlfriend.

Best: Joan

We’re not saying Joan is perfect but she sure was willing to put up with a a lot when it came to the many frogs she kissed on the road to romance. She at least gets points for patience and persistence.

Worst: Régine

Régine wasn’t looking for love, she was looking for a come-up, which is why she was consistently living single.

Best: Lisa

Lisa brought class to The Fresh Prince, and like Gina, any woman who can put up with the likes of Will Smith is a gem.

Worst: Hillary

Two words: Spoiled brat. There’s a reason Trevor is the only boyfriend she had for the entire run of Fresh Prince. We don’t know what Jazz saw in her.
