Danny DeVito? Heck, I didn’t even WATCH Taxi and had to look him up. I’m sorry, but the rest of the Top Ten (plus the missing Gracie Allen) run rings around him, and he’d probably be the first to admit it. Or is it fixed, like in his movie “The Ratings Game”?
And Perry Mason (played by Raymond Burr) should have made the list.

I wasn't a big Taxi fan, but my impression is that Danny DeVito's character was sort of an on-the-job version of Archie Bunker.

Raymond Burr should have made the list for Perry Mason and Ironside.

And Perry Mason (played by Raymond Burr) should have made the list. I disagree most with #8, Emma Peel. And I should have added to my post: Please feel free to offer alternatives.
And yep, I would have replaced Emma Peel with Perry Mason.

I would have chosen Chris Lloyd over Danny DeVito.

Perry Mason certainly beats Louie DePalma and I loved Taxi.
Ironside should be on there somewhere. I haven’t seen the list yet.

It is really a poorly assembled list, there are many other great characters that should be up there but TV Guide has to stay within a range that the young pups can relate to.
