8 Best Men-Women Platonic Friendships On TV (2 of 5)

Joey & Phoebe (Friends)

As the beloved sitcom was winding down, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow pitched an idea to the writers to do an episode revealing through flashbacks that the pair had, in fact, spent the series secretly getting it on. Fortunately, nobody went along with this suggestion, knowing how much it would have ruined what fans viewed to be a quirky, platonic friendship full of love and support.

Leslie & Ron (Parks & Recreation)

Leslie and her boss Ron appeared to be polar opposites. She was enthusiastic and dedicated herself fully to her work, whereas he was a cynical individual who performed only the minimum required, if that. If this were the real world, it is difficult to imagine the two of them could ever possibly get along. But when it came down to it, they had immense respect for each other and rose to the occasion to help each other when times called for it. In fact, even Leslie made Ron walking her down the aisle a condition for marrying Ben.
