Yeah, that's true. The show was more about the flash-bang, especially AtS. And if you want a case with no romance, you have Law and Order in all it's various incarnation.

And yeah, Buffy and Angel were so unhealthy together. It is a perfect teen romance with angst and the Romeo and Juliet vibe and absolutely no substance under all that. No wonder our teens have unhealthy, romantic ideas about love. But it was certainly doomed from the first.

Xander and Cordelia seemed slightly healthier. They were each willing to give up bad habits for the other, and I think that under other circumstances they might have had a good chance at a healthy relationship.

And yeah... I can see Faith topping Cordy. And I agree with Xanzpet. Faith tops everyone!
