Seinfeld- Jerry and Elaine are exes and breify get back together at the end of season one
Friends- lots of romantic entaglements but mainly Chandler/Monica, Ross/Rachel, and Joey/Rachel
How I Met Your Mother - two of the main characters are a steady couple, the other three are a love triangle
Big Bang Theory- by the end, it's three couples and one single guy
Any shows like these where the main characters never date each other or hook up with each other?

Fred and Daphne are a couple I’m pretty sure

So are Shaggy and Scooby.

Probably not, because romantic entanglements make for better TV.

The British one would qualify as one with no romantic entaglements (if you don't count the living couple) but the American one has several couples in the core group Thor/Flower, Trevor/Hetty, Pete/Alberta

Has there ever been a mixed-gender group of adult friends where there are no romantic entaglements within the group?

Golden girls comes to mind. And maybe arrested development? but that's more family than a group of friends.

The IT Crowd i think, i don't remember in group romance in that show, maybe light flirty comedic moments but not more.

George Michael and maybe is a pretty big plot point 😂

Mac is gay for Dennis, and Charlie and Dee had a fling in The Gang Misses the Boat

I want to say Resident Alien. The core 3 adult friends don't have any romantic relations as far as I remember. Although there is one love triangle involving one of the main and side characters I guess. But the majority of the show is about real beautiful mixed-gender friendships IMO.
