I get it - like in Scarecrow and Mrs King or Moonlighting or whatever... where people become so invested in the "relationship" at the expense of the adventure, and the funny thing is maybe that's why so many of these series end up dying once the couples do get together.
Like in Lois and Clark - everyone knew that L&C would end up together, that was the point. But in some ways, for me, at least, the show was more fun with the flirting and dancing around and obliviousness. not that I didn't want my happy ending, but i loved the show more.
I would never stop watching a show because of a couple pairing, i think. Unless it was a complete change in the direction of the show. For example, in SG-1, I don't mind hints of Sam and Jack, but if they had ever come right out and made that canon, it might have made me squirm a bit.
