Did anybody liked Shawn and Angela better


As a couple? I did there were more interesting than Cory and Topanga. Cory and Topanga are to of predictable perfect couple, everyone knew they were going get together but with Shawn and Angela got together it was fun mystery. I also think Cory and Topanga rushed into marriage too.

I liked them, they were really interesting and artsy.

You're not alone. I always preferred Shawn and Angela too. They were the angsty couple. Cory and Topanga were great together, but there was never any doubt they'd end up together. I agree that they got married too soon- they weren't even old enough to legally drink at their own wedding!

I liked Shawn and Angela because there was so much uncharted territory with them. I loved that her dad got them back together in season 7, and they helped each other deal with their abandonment issues. They were both independent but they needed each other in so many ways. I guess it's easier for me to relate to the characters with trust issues, who sometimes put up the facade of being tough (when they're actually very vulnerable). When they let down their guard with each other, you can practically see those metaphorical walls come down. When they're finally in a comfortable relationship, they've earned it. We know they're the best thing in each other's lives because we've seen them alone, and we've seen them work on the things that kept them apart.

For me, Cory and Topanga didn't have that. Their relationship always felt a little too easy to me. Sure, they had minor issues here and there, but they were one of those couples we're told was "meant to be" as an explanation and justification for everything. Shawn and Angela weren't childhood/junior high/high school/college sweethearts. There was no guarantee they'd make it. Although I always hoped they would.

Great summation. Shawn and Angela were my favorite couple on BMW for those very reasons. Cory and Topanga became melded into one, sugary-sweet person. It was adorable, and I certainly rooted for them, but I found Shawn and Angela much more interesting. They were intriguing as individual characters trying to figure out their way through life and relationships.

Me too. I really liked Cory and Topanga don't get me wrong, but I just loved Shawn and Angela. By the time They hit college I was more interested in them as a couple than Cory and Topanga.


you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

Gosh, yes, I loved Shawn and Angela. I loved the build up to them, how they were both just basically two week daters, then began dating, then stopped over the whole V-Day thing, then became friends again, then dated, then went through issues with Shawn breaking up at the start of college, having the two of them both talk to Topanga and Cory about their feelings. And…well you know. I just loved their relationship, there wasn't really a sure thing about them getting/staying together and I loved that.

Granted, I'd love Cory and Topanga's perfect romance relationship. It'd be nice to be assured that you're with the person you're meant to be with for the rest of your life, but tv-wise, Shawn and Angela.

Plus Cory and Topanga's break ups always tended up depress and irritate me.

I don't know if I liked them better as a couple, but I did love them together.

I liked them as a couple but hated that they were so damned dramatic and angsty, and always breaking up for the stupidest reasons.
