The title of this page is "Asexuality in TV shows and movies", but the guidelines say "This list is for fictional portrayals of asexual or suspected-asexual characters." Notice that those are two different things. Asexuality can be present in TV or movies in the form of asexual relationships. For example, "Boston Legal" depicts an asexual romance (and marriage) without the characters involved being asexual.

Probably the intention of the page is also to discuss asexual relationships, so we could change the text at the top to include this. But is it really an asexual romance if neither of the characters is asexual? Or is it instead a celibate relationship?
