Who Was A Famous TV/Movie Couple From The Mid-Late 80's That Only Nerds Would Know?

Odd question, I know. Story takes place in 1988. Guy needs to be a "cool" or "jock" dude, and girl, a popular girl. But looking for a couple that only nerds would probably reference. Can't say Tom Cruise and Kathy McGillis, for example.

 

Like tape between the lenses and flood-pants nerd? Or do you mean a geek? If so, what genre of geek?

 

Hmm, probably a geek. And probably scifi. I was thinking the actors that played Lister and his love interest on Red Dwarf?

 

Most excellent choice

 

Buck and Wilma… Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century

He’s a jock and she’s well….

 

How about the Nick / Pamela / Scott love triangle from Teen Wolf? Nick's a Jock. https://80smovieguide.com/teen-wolf/

 

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off": Ferris and Sloane.

"Say Anything": Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court.

It doesn't get any better than that

D'oh!

You meant Sci-fi?

Han and Leia.

Dave Lister and Kristine Kochanski

 

Mork and Mindy - I think the show ended mid 80's

 

I guess Data and Tasha Yar (Star Trek Next Generation - '87) ... if I remember correctly, they were romantically involved, be it for a very short time.

 

Marc Singer and Tanya Roberts (The Beastmaster, 1982)

 

Daphne and Scooby.

It was her experimental stage.
