11 Best Valentine's Day Episodes


Valentine's Day is here! What do I like to do? I like to go back and watch my favorite guys confess their feelings to their girl (/another character) or see my couple finally get their chance. Or watch Darren Criss sing Silly Love Songs and pretend he's singing it to me.

Dawson's Creek: Valentine's Day Massacre
Here we are in Dawson's life-Joey is the angel on his shoulder and Pacey is the devil. Jack struggles with telling his ex-girlfriend he's gay. Jen goes on her first date with Henry is not nervous (but really she is.) Dawson wants to be more of a typical teenager and so he goes to this party and is going to kiss the girl. But really? He's Dawson so nothing happens. He talks about something happening, but nothing does. And Pacey is struggling with his secret feelings for Joey.
Best quote- 
JoeyWell...because, I mean Satan himself could lead Dawson into the fiery pits of hell and he would still come out with his moral code firmly intact, but you....maybe I think that nobody's worrying about you right now.
Pacey: So then, what you're really saying is, given the highly dysfunctional nature of our relationship, this is actually how you express concern for me?
JoeyYou gotta learn to read between the banter, Pacey.

                                                                                                                                       
Buffy the Vampire Slayer-Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
Xander casts a spell to try and make Cordelia love him, because he thinks she's ashamed of their relationship. But, surprise! Things backfire and don't go as Xander plans. The spell ends up making every other woman in Sunnydale obsessed with him besides Cordy. And so hilarity ensues.
Best quote-
Cordelia: Why has everyone gone insane?? 
Xander: Insane? Is it so impossible for you to believe that other women find me attractive?
Cordelia: The only way you could get girls to want you would be witchcraft.
Xander: That is such a!-well, yeah, okay, good point.

                                                                                                           
That 70s Show-First Date
Awww, Donna and Eric's first date:) And on Valentine's Day! So sweet. Except...not. See, Hyde has this thing for Donna so he goes and almost crashes the dinner, and, well, Donna is really nervous about the date so she gets drunk at dinner. 
Best quote-
JackieI can't believe you, Michael. 
KelsoWhat? 
JackieYou can't just maul me in front of my father! 
KelsoI bet he didn't even notice. 
JackieHe yelled at you to stop it. 
KelsoI thought he was yelling at you.

                                                                                                                                        
Community-Communication Studies
The community college has a Valentine's Day coming up and Britta and Jeff and Slater exchange drunken voicemails that reveal to secret feelings. And Abed helps Jeff get drunk which is pretty hilarious. 
Best quote- She has more fights about stuff that doesn't matter than a youtube comment section.

                                                                                                                                        
Smallville-Crimson
So a witch or something gives Lois this red (kryptonite) lipstick that makes her fall in love with the first guy she sees. And who does she see? She sees Clark! At first, Clark is startled and unsettled by Lois' very forward actions towards him, but then Lois kisses him. When Clark gets red kryptonite in his system, all his inhibitions go out the door. So he makes out with Lois a lot, and crashes Lana and Lex's engagement dinner. 
Best quote-
ChloeWhat are you doing? We were supposed to take Clark out tonight, remember?
JimmyYeah, well, Lois was out alone, and then it hit me; Lois, and Clark.
ChloeLois and Clark?!
JimmyYou got to admit, they got chemistry.
ChloeYeah, so do nitroglycerin and peroxide, and I don't suggest putting them together.

The Office-Valentine's Day
Michael lets it slip that he and Jan have a relationship. Phyllis gets a lot of presents from "Bob Vance, Vance Refridgeration." And Angela gives Dwight the famous Dwight bobblehead.
Best quote-
Dwight: Women are like wolves. If you want a wolf, you have to trap it. You have to snare it. And then you have to tame it. Keep it happy. Care for it. Feed it. Lovingly, the way an animal deserves to be loved. And my animal deserves a lot of loving.

Glee-Silly Love Songs
So, Blaine sings a song to his crush at the Gap. Puck sings "Fat Bottomed Girls." Tina (hilariously) sings "My Funny Valentine" to Mike. 
Best quote- 
Tina [to Santana]Five minutes ago, you said Mr.Schu belonged in a 12 step program.
Will: Wait, what?
Santana: You're addicted to vests.

Friends-The One With The Candy Hearts
You remember Janice, right? If I say, "Oh, my, god." will that spark your memory? So Joey gets Chandler into going to a double date with him and some girl they both don't know. But turns out-they do know. Chandler has known her-and dumped her-for quite a while. And yet, she just keeps popping back up. They get drunk and end up sleeping together and spending Valentine's Day as a couple. Janice gets little candy hearts that say, "Chan & Jan Forever." And then Chandler proceeds to dump her. Again. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe have a bad-boyfriend detox and end up meeting some married firemen. Ross ends up being on a kind-of double date with his lesbian ex-wife.
Best quote-
Janice: Well then ask yourself this. Why do you think we keep ending up together? New Years? Who invited who? Valentine's? Who asked who into whose bed?
Chandler: I did, but-
Janice: You seek me out. Something deep in your soul calls out to me like a foghorn. JANICE. JANICE. You want me. You need me. You can't live without me. And you know it. You just don't know you know it. 
-Alternative-The One With the Birthing Video. This one is good, but I usually opt for the other one. Due in part to Chandler's hair.

Boy Meets World-First Girlfriends' Club
Just watch.
(Then watch the other parts.)

The O.C.-The Telenovela
Summer is embarrassed to tell everybody that she's dating Seth and Seth does not like that. He won't "stand" for it. (I put stand in quotes because he actually does stand for it.) Ryan and Marissa try being "just friends" when Ryan's old flame Theresa comes into town.
(I'm actually not totally sure if this is an actual Valentine's Day episode, but the whole kissing booth thing is very Valentine-y, so...)
Best quote-
Summer: Why are you doing this?
Seth: Because I like you. This much.
Nothing like a good Valentine's Day TV show to warm your heart. (Or break it a little bit because of all the great guys that these girls get.)

What are your favorite Valentine-y episodes?
