If...

IF... I was contemplating a kind of homage to bromance in television vid who should I include? I'm narrowing it down to TV bromance only. But any era.

So far I'm thinking:

Sam and Dean (of course!)
Peter and Neal (where the inspiration came from. How adorable are those two!?)
Sherlock and John (Sherlock)
Starsky and Hutch (by first bromance love <333)
Simon and Simon (My second bro bromance love (after The Hardy Boys that is...).
Bodie and Doyle (The Professionals - am I losing some of you by now? /o\)
Solo and Kuryakin (The Man from UNCLE)
Apollo and Starbuck (The original boys - yes, yes I'm showing my age... again. )

As you can see a lot of these are kinda *koff* ancient. So, who am I missing? I'm not thinking along the lines of say the guys from Leverage. That's more about the 5 of them rather than just the two.

Any thoughts...??

Great list!

Obv some Kirk and Spock, Turk and JD (Scrubs - i mean they even sang about it : Guy Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL4L4Uv5rf0), Alan Shore and Denny Crane (Boston Legal - they shared a bed and ended up married!), Shawn and Gus (Psych), House and Wilson (House), Barney and Marshall (HIMYM), Leonard and Sheldon (Big Bang Theory), Jack adn Tony Almeda (24), Joey and Chandler (Friends), Frank Pembleton and Tim Baylis *hearts* (Homicide: Life on the streets), Blacke and Avon (Blakes 7), Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry (Alias Smith and Jones) Chuck and Morgan (Chuck), Vince and E (Entourage) ...and well that's just a few I thought of ;D

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! See now I figure I've bitten off more than I can chew...

Kirk and Spock - I should have thought of that one.*g* And my god! Blake and Avon - now THAT brings back some memories. <333 Other than that, Chuck and Morgan are the only other ones I really know.. /o\

And a bromance ended in a shared bed and marriage?

Looks like I'm missing out on stuff.

Thanks hun. This is a great list! <333

[identity profile] missyjack.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh the Alan and Denny (played by James Spader and William Shatner) relationship was just wonderful, and like the JD and Turk on in Scrubs was upfront about the bromance.

And Blake and Avon - well I suppose that was a bit more complex than just a romance wasn't it ;D

Fraser and Ray - Due South, house and wilson, o'neill and jackson (sg1), clark and lex s1 & 2 sv, dexter and his brother s1, bernard and manny black books.

Of course... Clark and Lex! And yay! Manny and Bernard... oh I love those 2.

I've never really watched House. I had no idea that House and Wilson we bromance material. MJ mentioned them as well. I suspected there would be SG1 potential - but again, not a show I have watched,

Thanks hun.

Wait a minute!

You doing a non-Supernatural vid!

I'm telling mom!!!

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
HA!!! :D :D

And, it isn't done yet. And looking at this list it may never be...

There's no way I'd be able to get all this material,

Love learning about them all though and actually it's a vid I love to try.

[identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not allowed to give up. Cause I'm working (again) on the 'Life on Poosh' vid. So you have to work on that one. :) :)

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I keep getting more and more suggestions, so I have no idea how to put them all in.... I might have to take a vote or something...

That's when I finish the 3 I'm working on at the moment...

:)

[identity profile] debbiel66.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Your list is very much my list - showing my age right along with you- and I agree with a bit of House and Wilson. They had a TV Guide cover with the actual word, Bromance, in it.

I really do need to watch White Collar again. I watched the first one, but everyone seems to adore it, so I think it's worth a re-watch.

Cannot wait for your vid!

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, you're the third person to mention House and Wilson. I've really missed that.... I've watched a couple of episodes but I never picked up on that. The few I saw were more about the cases that came into the hospital. I didn't keep tuning in because I'm not one for hospital dramas. Hmmmm.....

And yes. White Collar!! \o/ Not only is Neal GORGEOUS, the budding bromance between Peter and Neal is adorable. And - the story lines are pretty decent. :)

Hee! And don't hold your breath on the vid... looking at the list now it looks like A LOT of footage gathering. Bu I'm still liking the idea - so I still might pursue it. :)

[identity profile] feather-touch.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
At the risk of showing my age...the original bromance brothers, I think, Little Joe and Hoss!

Also Jim and Blair from the Sentinel.

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! Oh please do show your age...you're in good company here. :D

And YES! Of course... Joe and Hoss. <3333 I should have remember Bonanza.

However, Sentinel I don't know. I'll have to investigate that one.

Thank you! <3

[identity profile] ancastar.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The Sentinel is a funny fandom because the show itself, by and large, is pretty bad. The leads are charismatic and had great chemistry, and the premise, while a bit cracky (okay, a lot cracky) has a lot of juice to it. But the scripts, with a few exceptions, weren't very strong, it was filmed on a very tight budget and a lot of the supporting actors weren't as talented as they could be.

That said, the fic it inspired is amazing. I actually read fic in the fandom for nearly two years before I ever even saw an episode.

The premise features two guys who live together, work together, have pet names for each, and can't get any of their female relationships to take. Jim literally needs Blair to survive, yet because of a mistake he makes, Blair is murdered only to return to life when something of Jim lures him back. Blair sacrifices his honor and identity for Jim's sake, and Jim feels the weight of that sacrifice. There is hurt/comfort galore. The setup is the stuff of fannish dreams. I'm very fond of the fandom.

For your purposes, though, footage of the show isn't all that easy to come by. Only the first season (of three and a half) is on DVD. I found digitized footage of the other eps, and downloaded it, but that was years ago. I honestly don't recall where I got it from.

Wow, it sounds so interesting. And h/c galore? Definitely sounds like something I need to tap into.

And for something like this (if I did go ahead with it), would only require a very short amount of footage. Seconds probably. There would probably something streaming somewhere I could, um.... *koff*... borrow... *g*.

Thanks so much darlin'.

I am pinging you to say... JIM AND BLAIR!

My lovely friend [livejournal.com profile] ancastar has hooked me up since this post and comment and I am now almost finished watching Season one and I love it!

It's my new addiction. So just wanted to say thanks for the mention because I am now experiencing a new show,
<33

[identity profile] feather-touch.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oohhh yay!

Well, now just to make you more excited...check out this little bit of fun coming soon.

http://community.livejournal.com/sentinelbigbang/

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-09-05 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yay! So peeps are still writing about them? I wondered because that show is like 10 years old. :)

Ancastar has been telling me all about previous fics and I've discovered some podcasts that exist and as soon as I have time I'll be tapping into them.

She sent me one of her favourite Sentinel vids and that's what got me hooked! :)

Great to know there's some SBB coming! :) Thanks honey.

[identity profile] feather-touch.livejournal.com 2010-09-09 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well yay! I'm glad you're enjoying them...er the show.

[identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
There are some very convincing Seth/Ryan vids (The OC) out there....

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh really? You know, I have never, ever watched an episode of The OC - so I would have no idea who is even in it... So Seth and Ryan yeah? I'll check these out. :)

Though I'm not looking to slash any characters - just highlight male friendships - well, male "bonds", I suppose.

Thanks. :)

I don't have any other suggestions, but just had to pop in and say I LOVE this idea.

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! I really like it too but having read all these wonderful suggestions it makes me realise how many shows I don't know (which I suspected...). And gathering all the footage... *eep*

But. It could be done. *g* I'd love to look at the history of bromance in TV. Could make for an interesting vid...

Thanks honey! :D

[identity profile] july-july-july.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sam and Josh (West Wing)
Landry and Matt (Friday Night Lights)
Riggins and Jason (Friday Night Lights)
Flynn and Provenza (The Closer)
Jason and Andy (True Blood)
Don and Roger (Mad Men)

...I can't think of any others at the moment. But those are the ones I'd add, if it were my vid. I can't wait to see it!

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh thanks..

I wondered about FNL. I've never watched it but I've heard lots about it.

My list seems to be growing..../o\

[identity profile] turquoisetumult.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd also say the following pairs count as bromances:

Dean and Castiel
Jemaine and Bret (Flight of the Conchords)
Troy and Abed (Community)
Holmes and Watson (Sherlock Holmes, 2009 movie) Oh, nevermind, then. lol

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yes - Dean and Castiel...:D

Hee! Yes - took out the movie options because...well, I was hoping it might narrow down my choices. But wow, looks like there's more than I imagined. :)

[identity profile] turquoisetumult.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
OH, forgot about: Angel and Spike (it was more complex than a bromance, but a lot of their scenes were really dorky and COULD be interpreted as so).

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... another pairing I don't know, but have heard lots about. :)

[identity profile] heidi8.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Just tv, or films too? Because Harry & Ron in Harry Potter could qualify...

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
I stuck to films because I wanted to narrow down my options. But wow, looks like there's a heap more then I imagined.

Though for films I would definitely include Harry and Ron. :)

[identity profile] barkley.livejournal.com 2010-08-29 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sports Night - Dan and Casey

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Now this one, I haven't even heard for the show. /o\ Man, it looks like I have some catching up to do.

[identity profile] clairful.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Cory and Shawn! Cory and Shawn!

(Boy Meets World)

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-08-30 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Adding to the list.... :)

[identity profile] mlebayre.livejournal.com 2010-09-01 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Starsky and Hutch!

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-09-01 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! It's there! They were my first bromance love! No way I'd leave them out. :)

If you need help with Kirk/Spock scenes I have all the StarTrek eppy's. Yeppers, I'm a Trekkie. :D Just let me know, hon.

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
OOh - yes indeed!

I'm going to be seeking vidders who feel they really know the pairing and can provide quintessential bromance moments. I feel I couldn't to justice to a lot of the pairings.

So, yay! I'll keep you informed. :D

Hercules and Iolas, from Hercules.
Sam and Michael from Burn Notice.
BJ and Hawkeye, MASH.


If you want to add girls, how about Laverne and Shirley, Xena and Gabrielle, Buffy and Willow?
Edited 2010-09-01 21:15 (UTC)

[identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com 2010-09-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes!! BJ and Hawkeye! Excellent call. I wouldn't have remeber them. The others I don't know, but I think I've devised a cunning plan to help with that.

And I think girls would make for a whole new vid. I'm doubtful I will get all the male pairings I have so far.

Though speaking of L&S.. I wonder if Lenny and (*eek* can't remeber his name) would qualify? Then there's The Odd Couple... I wasn't thinking about sitcom pairings, but I suppose there would be lots of those as well..... Fonzie & Richie...

Ark!

[personal profile] stormcloude 2010-09-02 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Squiggy-- yes, they'd probably count too! ;D

There were a lot of sitcom pairings. O.O
