Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one
Friends- lots of romantic entaglements but mainly Chandler/Monica, Ross/Rachel, and Joey/Rachel
How I Met Your Mother - two of the main characters are a steady couple, the other three are a love triangle
Big Bang Theory- by the end, it’s three couples and one single guy
Any shows like these where the main characters never date each other or hook up with each other?


It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Dee and Charlie bang.
Mac bangs Dee and Dennis’ mom.
Frank bangs Charlie’s mom (a lot).
Frank, Charlie, and Dennis all bang the waitress.
Dennis tries to bang Mac’s mom.
Frank and Mac both try to bang Dee and Dennis’ Aunt Donna.
I think Frank bangs Dee and Dennis’ cousin Gail the Snail
But all of these are one off bits rather than being part of a larger arc or plotline, so I think it still fits the spirit of the question.
Mac and the waitress do hand stuff.
Mac is gay for Dennis, and Charlie and Dee had a fling in The Gang Misses the Boat
Addressed the Charlie and Dee thing below; I just don’t consider a one-off, single-episode B-plot like that 10 seasons into the show (with a later throwaway joke in one episode three seasons later) a “romantic entanglement” for what’s an ongoing 17-season comedy show.
Mac’s crush on Dennis is the closest we come, but that’s still very distant from “romantic entanglement” to me; that implies an entanglement, where in reality Mac’s one-sided crush is infrequently referenced and pretty much always for laughs, and Dennis clearly demonstrates at every turn that literally nothing will ever come of it. The audience is always deliberately shown that this will never turn into anything; there’s no “will they, won’t they” going on because the answer is always and in perpetuity “won’t they”.
TL;DR: There’s no actual arc or plotline.
Tricky – because they’re entangled off set(?)
Love the show, but Dee and Charlie hook up in ‘The Gang Misses The Boat’. She also admits to SAing him later in ‘Time’s Up For The Gang’
Yeah, it does happen, although I still went ahead with the comment because I don’t consider that a “romantic entanglement”.
“Entanglement” to me implies that the two or more characters have ongoing, mutual romantic feelings for each other that are explored or at least consistently shown over multiple episodes.
