8 Will And Carlton (The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air)

7 Mabel And Pacifica (Gravity Falls)
Mabel Pines and Pacifica Northwest first meet and are immediately competitors and enemies. Pacifica is a spoiled rich kid who is used to getting what she wants, but Mabel won't let her just take the dance competition and this begins their rivalry.

Buzz tries to lead the group, obliviously thinking that he is the real Buzz Lightyear and he has to fight evil, and Woody tries desperately to get him to understand reality or have everyone realize how insane his ideas are.
The two are forgotten and have to make their way back to Andy's home and work together to survive the journey. The two become friends by the end of the film and grow their bond throughout the Toy Story franchise.
5 Shawn And Lassiter (Psych)
Shawn Spencer acts like a psychic and solves crimes for the local police department, but really he is hyper-observant and able to see clues that most can't. Most employees at the department buy into Shawn's persona with the major exception of Detective Carlton Lassiter.
The two spend most of the series at odds since their personalities are so different as Lassiter wants to do his job particularly and Shawn constantly throws off his plans. Lassiter slowly softens throughout the series and the two become good friends.
4 Leslie And Ben (Parks And Recreation)
Ben comes to Pawnee to audit the government and Leslie immediately hates him. Leslie thinks he doesn't care and is just there to slash her parks department budget and make it impossible for her to do her job well.

3 Rory And Paris (Gilmore Girls)
The fashionable Rory Gilmore begins her high school career at a private school and immediately makes an enemy in Paris Geller as she's one of the smartest and most determined students at the school and sees Rory as a threat.
Paris is intense and Rory never fully understands why the two are always at odds at the beginning of the show. They go back and forth from friendly to bitter rivals until they finally become close friends and room together during their college years.
2 Jane And Petra (Jane The Virgin)
Jane the Virgin was a well-received show that blended reality and fantasy but was always about the characters' relationships with one another including the slow build of Jane and Petra's friendship.
Jane the Virgin was always a romantic show that centered on Jane's love life as she tried to choose between the two male leads, Rafael and Michael. But the show also highlighted the friendship slowly and believably created between Jane and Petra. The two began the show as rivals since they were both vying for Rafael, but the show slowly build their friendship and their relationship became one of the strongest in the series.
1 Aang And Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Aang and Zuko start off the series as bitter rivals as Zuko is determined to capture Aang to restore his honor with his father and the Fire Nation. It takes the entire series for these two to finally become close friends when Zuko decides to join the side of the Avatar and go against his family.
The slow burn changes the characters go through during the series are realistic and they make for an enjoyable enemies-to-friends storyline.
