25 best TV boyfriends that will put your actual boyfriend to shame

Best TV boyfriends: Derek “McDreamy” Sheperd – Grey’s Anatomy

The holy grail of TV boyfriends, Derek Sheperd has been making blue scrubs look good for over a decade now. The older he gets, the more handsome he gets, and he’s been making women of all ages swoon over that glorious hair and irresistible dimples. He even used his last moments to prove his value and worth, not just as a hunky dreamboat, but as a human.

In particular, however, he made the broody Meredith Grey swoon for a little more than 10 seasons, even though some folks think she just wasn’t the one for him. He was loving, warm supportive, and was kind of the best you can ask for in a boyfriend – TV or otherwise.

Now that Derek has died and gone on to operate on the other side of the pearly gates, we can safely say that Meredith was a giant brat to him most of the time and just didn’t deserve all that dreaminess he consistently delivered. I mean, maybe it was a little bit of karma for hooking up with her when he was still married, but he really had to put up with a lot of grouchiness and complaining.
