[V K Lee]

As this is TV Guide (US), it is assumed shows from the UK are not included. These warrant many more nominees to the list:
AB FAB - Eddy and Patsy
ARE YOU BEING SERVED - Miss Slocombe and Mr. Humphries
FAULTY TOWERS - Basil and Sybil Faulty
AGATHA CHRISTI CHARACTERS - Hercule Poirot and Mrs. Marples
to name but a few

This is not a take away to Emma Peel, but only an addition of.

Urkel?

I never heard of most of these. What about Matt Dillon?

Urkel?

[workerbee]

Thomas Magnum
Buffy Summers
Mr. Gold/Rumpelstilskin (Once Upon a Time)
Jack Bauer (24)
Mary Anne Thorpe (Cybill)
Julia Sugarbaker (Designing Women)

Who was Sheldon Cooper?

[surrey]

From the Mary Tyler Moore show. Valerie Harper was also pretty good as Rhoda.

[Twinkie]

I like Chester A. Riley (Wm. Bendix). Also, Peg Riley -
a saint!

[Cecily]

Lou Grant on the MTM show. Ed Asner was great in that role (and annoying libbie in real life). The episode in which he finally succumbed to Sue Ann’s charms and confided in Mary about it the next day was so funny.

I second that for Angel Martin.

He made good Rockford episodes even better.

Dennis Becker was a good character too.

[GreyFriar]

Who was “louie dePalma?” I never heard of that character.

[Leaning Right]

Where is Jeanie or Samantha?

Both still appear in my daydreams from time to time.

[wally_bert]

Kerry Avon from Blake’s Seven was quick with the insults.

[Uncle Sam 911]

BS, where is Sheriff Andy Taylor, Jed Clampett and Granny Clampett?

[struggle]

Yeah, I don’t know why I put Sorkin.

[Cecily]

Elliot was funny, but Emil “Trained Killer” Peterson (a former Marine, you know) always made me laugh too.

[wally_bert]

Even as a kid, I liked Louis Grant.

Ed, not so much.

[Leep]

Granny Daisy Moses (Clampett)
Mr Haney
Barny Fife

[Gay State Conservative]

He couldn't even get the sign in front of his hotel to read right.

What are you talking about? Flowery Twats sounds about right to me!

[wally_bert]

No Perry Mason or Ironside?

At least Theo made the list.

[Responsibility2nd]

16.

Lilly Harper
I’ll Fly Away (1991 TV Series), Regina Taylor

Never heard of her or that show. They couldn’t even find a picture of her - that’s how well known she was!

[CrazyIvan]

I’ll second that.
