Has there ever been a show about a mixed-gender group of adult friends where there are no romantic entaglements within the group? (lemmy.ca)

Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one

Friends- lots of romantic entaglements but mainly Chandler/Monica, Ross/Rachel, and Joey/Rachel

How I Met Your Mother - two of the main characters are a steady couple, the other three are a love triangle

Big Bang Theory- by the end, it's three couples and one single guy

Any shows like these where the main characters never date each other or hook up with each other?

Harry and D'Arcy dated for a few episodes (maybe only one or two, I don't recall clearly). There was a bit of teasing that Asta and Harry would be a thing at some point but thankfully that never materialized.

There were definitely romantic relationships with side characters - Sheriff Mike had a couple, obviously the mayor and his wife, Harry and the bird lady, Liz had a boyfriend (though he rarely appeared or was even mentioned), plus D'Arcy tried a few times to find love and Judy... had several flings?

    Yeah my main thinking was that at least those relationships (with the exception of d'arcy/the mayor) weren't central to the friend group/drama, but of course there's gonna be romantic relationships in anything because they are a part of life. As far as I remember, the harry/d'arcy thing was an awkward date in a very early episode but maybe I'm misremembering.
