Why Tommy and Kimberly?

We used to watch Power Rangers a lot when we were younger and we were always fans of the relationship between Tommy and Kimberly.  In fact, they were probably one of the first couples we ever became fans of, and we always remembered them fondly.  We actually stopped watching the show during its original run after they got rid of Jason, Zack, and Trini.  (Big mistake - the show was much more fun when Rocky, Aisha, and especially Adam joined the group.)  However, we have gotten the chance to see most of the episodes again and have enjoyed them immensely.  Tommy and Kim were absolutely adorable together, and I love that their relationship actually progressed as the series went on rather then being ignored or pushed to the side.

We know that after Kim left there was an episode where she sent Tommy a note saying she fell in love with someone else.  It seemed like such a plot contrivance to have Tommy free to date other girls, but it sadly put an end to their relationship.  However, what they did have together was very sweet and cute, and they actually were one of the more realistic relationships on tv, believe it or not.
