In honor of the news that ABC is letting go of Dr. Erica Hahn on “Grey’s Anatomy,” ending her budding romance with Dr. Callie Torres – I have come up with a list of the 15 most awkward couples on TV right now.
Dr. Erica Hahn and Dr. Calle Torres (“Grey’s Anatomy”) - Unfortunately, Erica and Callie’s friendship-turned-romance was a disaster from the start. The whole storyline just took us into TMSI (too much sexual information) territory, which turned fans off rather than on. “Grey’s” should look at how the romance is playing out between Kevin Walker and his love, Scotty, on “Brothers and Sisters” for how to portray a proper gay couple.
And speaking of “Grey’s Anatomy” let me also mention two other awkward couples…

As the star of “30 Rock” and former Weekend Update anchor and ex-head writer of “Saturday Night Live,” Tina Fey has seen a lot — but she told Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush that the recent buzz over her “SNL” portrayal of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin tops it all.
“The Sarah Palin thing is by far the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’ve been around some weird things,” Tina told Billy. “You couldn’t have predicted. Like, who would have predicted that this lady that I kind of look like would be running for vice-president.”

In honor of the return of “30 Rock” tonight, I’ve chosen my favorite quotes from the Season Three season premiere. Sure, it hasn’t aired yet, but if you’re like me and can’t wait until tonight, then you can watch it right now on Hulu.com! It’s no surprise the top three best lines in the show all come from recurring guest star Will Arnett.
#10 — “Infertility or other?”
Adoption case worker Bev asking Liz Lemon why she has chosen to adopt.
#9 — “Well I first met Liz in 1993, she was fresh out of college and I had just broken up with O.J. Simpson. And can I just say something. Total gentleman.”
A clueless Jenna Maroney to the adoption case worker.
