Nyssa and Oliver - technically married
Curtis and Paul - Divorced
Moira and Walter - Moira is dead
And the actress who plays Dinah is multiracial ( her IMBD page states"Juliana Harkavy is an American actress of Dominican, Russian, African, Chinese, and Hungarian descent."), so depending on whether her background plays into her character or not, You could add Dinah andto the listVigilante
but to add to the list:
Spitfire! Holy crap I cant wait for Outsiders
LOST: Rose and Bernard
Thanks for reminding me of this lovely couple, they are my second fav couple after Jin & Sun.
But wasn't that the problem in the show after a while? Never watch but I vaguely remember reading a article or 2 on that
It really was. My wife and I just finished it up for the second time last month and started The Fosters (multiple interracial couples) immediately after. The difference in quality felt like a smack in the face. My wife pretty much lives on crap and she refused to go past the third season.
Parenthood was such a good show.
Giles and Olivia, from Buffy the vampire Slayer
Oh that reminds me of Gunn and Fred from Angel.
Another I liked was Richard and Lily on The 4400
Oh and there is also a good one on ST Discovery but I'll leave it at that.

No, it's interracial. In fact it's probably the only actual true example of an interracial relationship.
Is that the guy who sacrificed his career in Starfleet to keep Wesley in the academy? How did he get back into Starfleet?
Oh yeah, it was. I mean it was his fault really. He was a bad leader. I mean I guess at the end he did the right thing only after Wesley forced his hand.
Kinda. They had to tweak the character a bit (including his name) so they wouldn't have to pay royalties for the entirety of the show.
Besides I don't think Janeway was very picky. Tuvoc tried to steal the Enterprise and yet still he ended up on Voyager as the Chief Security Officer.
Rick and Michonne from The Walking Dead
Stopped watching the show ages ago. I'm shocked they went for this. Good on them.
This is a great pick and one that I never would've remembered. It certainly helped that this relationship was anchored by two excellent actors who elevated what normally could've been a fairly rote couple.Another I liked was Richard and Lily on The 4400
And man The 4400 was a cool little show.
1. Season 6. After they finally got Alexandria under control.
2. Quite well. They basically had the makings of a relationship for a long time, having a sort of family dynamic between the two and Carl, but without the intimacy. Until they realized their true feelings for one another all along. It was a pretty nice surprise.
I know they were never officially in a relationship but I'll still mention Jackie Brown and Max Cherry. They could have been though. They could have been. He let her get away though, the poor bastard.
Yeah it was pretty great but ended way too early. I occasionally watch it on Netflix. Actually, I enjoyed it so much I read the novels that were written after.
Its actually really darn good and works very well.
One of the very few great things to come out of recent seasons.
I wasn't aware of any real backlash against it.
That's more cause hardly anybody watched it.
But yeah, people definitely criticized Kaling for it, and despite insisting that it would get better, she still dated 99% white.
Maybe relationships that went sour like Lee and Dualla on BSG:
Speaking of, another great couple:
What about the couple in Get Out? I'm only 30 minutes in but they seem pretty solid so far.
Just Kidding
I would guess one where the couple is devalued in some way or treated differently because of the interracial angle. This must've happened at some point(I can't think of any but there was probably a time when interracial couples weren't show being as intimate as their counterparts) and maybe still does somewhere out there but I honestly can't think of the last time an interracial couple even stood out, there is probably at least one on every single show I watch.
edit: I know that during the 90s there were a slew of films with a black male lead and a white female lead whose relationship was not romantic basically because of the race angle.
Maybe relationships that went sour like Lee and Dualla on BSG:
Not having a happy ending doesn't make them a bad couple.
Stopped watching walking dead long ago.
Didn't know Rick was smashing Michonne's cakes to smithereens now. Niiice
