Sweeps month starts Thursday, and we all know what that means in terms of your favorite shows bringing out the big guns (i.e. guest stars, stunts, crazy plots, etc). But, it can also mean the beginning or end of some beautiful relationships. So, with the spirit of sweeps in mind, here's a list of some of my favorite TV pairings and some that I can only hope will someday come true.

Amy/Ephram (Everwood) - The writers have been toying with us ever since this show began. Now in its fourth season, Everwood continues to play with the idea of bringing these two together once and for all. Sure, they spent most of last season together, but you knew the relationship was doomed from the moment we learned the season before that Madison was pregnant. Amy and Ephram have been through a lot together between Colin's multiple surgeries and eventual death to Madison's pregnancy, and they have always maintained a close friendship. Even now while they are trying to keep their distance, they still end up coming back to each other. Now might not be the right time for a reconciliation, but I still hold out hope that these two will end up together in the end.

Veronica/Logan (Veronica Mars) - These two just seem so much more suited for each other than she and Duncan. Plus, let's face it, Duncan is boring. He and Veronica don't have the fire and chemistry that she has with Logan. But, I don't think they should be swapping spit right now. Logan is in a dark place, and he's not dealing with everything very well. He's no good to himself or Veronica. She needs to wait him out. Besides, if these two got together now, there wouldn't be all the fabulous tension and storylines that the second season is bringing us so far.

Allison/Joe (Medium) - These two have the most realistic relationship on television. Everything with them is a bit of give and take. Joe feels neglected because Allison is so devoted to her work (like she has a choice), but deep down he has a lot if understanding and forgiveness. Allison feels guilty because she isn't there more for her family. She falls behind in household duties, and Joe is right there to step in, not because he wants to, but because he cares about her. Sure, they fight, but they always know that in the end they have each other.

Olivia/Elliot (Law & Order: SVU) - Before everyone freaks out, I'm not suggesting in a romantic way. These two work very well together when the writers actually allow them to share an episode. I love the way Olivia isn't afraid to call Elliot on his temper, but she's also the first one to lend a shoulder and an ear when he needs one. They make great working partners.

Veronica/Keith (Veronica Mars) - By far the coolest father/daughter pair on television! When these two combine their clever talents and quick wit no mystery goes unsolved. They also play off of each other nicely when they're just being a normal father and daughter. I love the way Veronica thinks she can outsmart him, and he always brings her back down to reality, especially in this season's "Green Eyed Monster" when he told her he knew about her spending the night at her boyfriend's hotel room. "You're not that clever, Veronica." Great line, and great relationship!

Harold/Rose (Everwood) - These two are so supportive of each other, and yet, so willing to put the other back in line as soon as he or she steps out. They've raised two children together, dealt with the demise of Harold's practice, gone through Amy's depression and now they are facing Rose's cancer. They both got the best news ever last week when Rose found out that she was cancer free. Harold's range of emotions throughout the entire ordeal was both touching and realistic, and Rose's can-do attitude in the face of such an ugly enemy was courageous and admirable. That's just part of what makes these two so great, they compliment each other so nicely.

Well, there's my list. Who would you include on yours? Who did I leave out? Be sure to leave me a comment with your thoughts.
