Lesbian subtext on TV Rizzoli & Isles as well as HG Wells and Myka Bering

Lesbian subtext is generally found in TV shows where two female characters have a chemistry between them that could be love or sexual attraction, despite the characters never explicitly announcing that’s the case. The most famous TV series for having strong lesbian subtext is of course Xena Warrior Princess, in which the characters of Xena and Gabrielle clearly shared a deep connection despite it never explicitly being stated the pair were in love.
Recently a couple of other shows have come to light that also features a strong lesbian subtext. Rizzoli & Isles is one show with lesbian subtext between the female leads Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles. Both characters are straight in the series, but the lesbian subtext is definitely being picked up on by the audience, with fanfic and videos hitting the net. Two other characters featuring lesbian subtext are H. G. Wells (aka HG) and Myka Bering in SyFy series Warehouse 13. Like Rizzoli & Isles, both Myka Bering and H. G. Wells are straight women, but the chemistry between them is being picked up on and tweeted, blogged and made into fanvid and fanfic. Can you think of any other TV shows with lesbian subtext?
