10 Least Interesting Romances In Otherwise Great TV Shows

10. Andy And Erin (The Office)

The writers of The Office ran into a huge problem after Jim and Pam finally got together. Their romance was the heart of the series, and having them start dating in Season 4 was a good decision in terms of not stretching the storyline out, but where does the show go from there?

Jim and Pam became increasingly less interesting as time went on and they evolved from the flirty young kids into the boring married couple, so the writers tried to launch a new relationship: Andy and Erin. Erin was introduced as the new secretary in Season 5, and it soon became clear that Andy had feelings for her, another classic story of a salesman falling in love with the receptionist. 

Except these two were just not nearly as interesting as Jim and Pam, as much as the writers attempted to force them down viewers' throats. They tried their best with Andy's grand romantic gestures for Erin, like driving all the way down to Florida for her or trying (and failing) to get her an amazing Christmas gift. But eventually, after all that effort, the writers apparently just gave up, and so the series ends with Andy becoming more and more of a douche and Erin suddenly getting with the new salesman. Romance of the century, huh?
