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

Robin & Marshall (How I Met Your Mother)

It might come as a surprise that this made the list over the other relationships we could have chosen from the show, but it is worth noting that Robin and Marshall were such good platonic friends that they devoted an entire episode, “The Mermaid Theory,” to Marshall’s concerns about developing romantic feelings towards her. Although they didn’t spend much time together, they certainly had their sweet moments, such as when Marshall took a homesick Robin to the Hoser Hut, a bar frequented by Canadians, so she could socialize with her compatriots.
