I'm sure some exist, but you're an exception in not wanting that at all; most people want sex appeal and some romance.
Sex is an intrinsic part of being human and influences a lot of our decisions, it's only natural for it to be in our media.
This is what I said:
A prominent TV show.
As in one. Singular.
So I'm not sure where you have gotten it into your head that I want no romance at all in media.
These days you'll get romance with characters of the same sex too, detracting. If you only look at the main characters, maybe. But a show without romance at all? No.
For fuck's sake...
For the third time:
Since you need this re-clarified for you, I'll do it a fourth time:
I am talking about the main characters of a single TV show and, since you need further clarification, main characters of a single TV show who are both heterosexual and opposite genders who have no romantic feelings toward each other,
Do I need to be even clearer?
As for your suggestion that queer romance is as commonplace as heterosexual romance on TV now, that's just laughably untrue.
