Love is in the air. Or not.
Whether you’re single and ready to mingle or hopelessly in love, here are five Valentine’s Day-themed TV episodes you can enjoy.
Desperation Day: “How I Met Your Mother,” season 6
Oh, Barney. Always searching for what’s easy.
Barney refuses to have a Valentine’s Day date, but that doesn’t mean he can’t find a “victim” on Desperation Day, aka Feb. 13.
Lily struggles to get Marshall to care about their relationship after the death of his father. In the end, he pulls through for his Lilypad.
My Funky Valentine: “Modern Family,” season 1
Phil and Claire aren’t always the most adventurous, so to mix things up, they create fake personas.
But things go awry when Claire’s overcoat gets stuck in the escalator, and everyone, including her father, sees.
The One with the Candy Hearts: “Friends,” season 1
In a lot of moments of this beloved show, Ross can’t seem to catch in break.
In this episode, he ends up on a date at the same restaurant as Carol and Susan, his (first) ex-wife and her partner. Awkward.
Chandler ends up on a blind date with Janice, the woman he can’t seem to shake off. Also awkward.
Phoebe, Monica and Rachel burn mementos of ex-boyfriends. Not awkward, just super funny.
First Date: “That ’70s Show,” season 1
After a bit of back and forth, it seems like Donna and Eric will finally get together.
But this is TV, so of course, there’s a hitch. And his name is Hyde.
It’s an episode featuring young love and the nervousness that comes with it.
Silly Love Songs: “Glee,” season 2
Back when “Glee” was still good, this episode featured the right amount of cheesiness, heartbreak and sappy songs.
Puck tries to woo a girl by singing “Fat Bottomed Girls,” and we get to see Artie and Mike channel Michael Jackson with “P.Y.T.”
The episode will leave you saying, “Awww.”
