When a television show first starts, the writers of the program already have the star in mind. They write for the characters they think the audience will relate to and like the most and design the show around those characters.

The characters in the movie were irreverent, and ant-war, but they were not “holier than thou.” They were funny. The TV show, not so much. Can you imagine Alda today pontificating on the Chinese immigrants who just wanted a better life in South Korea?

Frasier Crane from “Cheers”.
As a kid of the 70s, I wanted to be The Fonz.
In fact, I had all the kids in the neighborhood calling me The Fonz, and I’m female...
but, I was one hell of a tomboy. I pummeled quite a few boys in my youth(2nd thru 6th grade).
Wow.
They were going to off Captain Cook?
On the BB curve, I loved Saul Goodman.
Better Call Saul was the last and only show I watched
faithfully before I cut the cable.
Lenny and Squiggy.
