your favourite sitcom characters..

[melly]

(or general TV characters, if you don't like sit-coms).

who is funny and why?

I was reading somewhere that Stevie's favourite shows include General Hospital (I've never had the pleasure- it isn't shown here-, but know it's a daytime soap) and i remember she used to use the treadmill while watching Miami Vice -I wasn't there.. I just read that I never really "got" Miami Vice... too busy watching Moonlighting and LA Law, I guess. I wonder what Stevie watches these days...?

anyway... my favourite sitcom characters would be:

Peter Griffin from The Family Guy, because he's hilarious and obnoxious and the show itself is so clever and has great parodies. One of my favourites is when he gets plastic surgery - "Peter! Did you get a new buttocks?!"

and I love David Brent (The Office). He's a perfect character, I think. There are loads of others but these two just come to mind.


thank god for the sitcom

I kind of stole this from the perv thread, but I've always been very fond of both Mary and Rhoda on "Mary Tyler Moore." They're a couple of my all-time faves.

Definitely. I'd also have to add Sam and Diane from Cheers and Kevin and Winnie from the Wonder Years. I'm still pissed they didn't end up together.

Mary Richards ('Mary Tyler Moore Show')
Will Truman ('Will & Grace')
Antonio ('Wings')
Suzanne Sugarbaker ('Designing Women')
Fran Fine ('The Nanny')
All of the 'Golden Girls'

I watch too much of the Lifetime Network.
Or, as my brother calls it, "Television for women -- and gay men."

Is it wrong that I always thought Kevin should have ended up with PAUL on 'Wonder Years,' or that I would have rather seen Cory marry Shaun, on 'Boy Meets World,' instead of Topanga?

[sunmaiden]

Oh yes, Designing Women, Golden Girls
I'd have to add Lavern and Shirley to that! And the ONE AND ONLY LUCY!

[hayley]

I'm with you on David Brent! Jesus. I can't watch the Office without getting a stomach ache from laughing so hard.

I'm not one for nostalgia, so my favorite sitcom character is current- Gob on Arrested Development. Will Arnett is brilliant. Seriously brilliant.

I know! That was so unfair!

Well, Winnie could have married Wayne, I guess.

I was in love with Fred Savage as a kid. REALLY obsessed.

1.Stewie from family guy
2. Cartman from South Park
3. Lisa Simpson...or any of the simpsons for that matter

I don't really watch any new sitcoms. There are only a few shows I watch anymore...I am usually listening to music instead.

[GypsySorcerer]

Forgot a couple:
Jack and Chrissy (Three's Company)
Barney Fife (Andy Griffith)
Those two slutty sisters of Just the Ten of Us

At least Karen stayed with David Schwimmer.

I love Eric from "That 70s Show," too. I think he's hilarious.
