No Fred Flintstone? Also thought Data from Star Trek TNG should have been there. Same with Eddie Haskel from the Beaver. Samantha Stephens? Never was a big fan of that show but to me the first Darren (Dick York) was the more interesting character. From a similar show i would put the psychologist from I Dream of Jeannie (Dr. Bellows) there too. Perhaps Frank Burns should be listed as well. Finally, and i know the show was silly and so was this character, but i would have thrown Gilligan somewhere in there. I mean if they can put Steve Erkel on the list then why not Gilligan?
PS: And no Arnold the Pig? Ed the talking horse?? Lassie? I sense some anti-animal bias here :P
Also no Ricky Ricardo? To be honest i always liked his character better than i did Lucy.
Some more animal characters that got slighted: Flipper, Gentle Ben, Dino, the bear in Grizzly Adams :(
Also MIA: Mr Haney, Junior Samples, Mary Ann Summers, Greg Brady, Alice Hyatt, ALF, Ben Stone, Uncle Joe, Quincy, Johnny Gage, Roy DeSoto, HR Pufnstuf, Dr. Marlena Evans, Radar O'Reilly, and Klinger. Jeez... this list is skewed to too many present shows. I never did get Seinfeld. Friends either for that matter.
Fred Flintstone, by proxy.
See Ralph Kramden.
Arnold Ziffel is my sentimental favorite. Also Mr. Ed. But I must admit, I've heard more jokes that reference Lassie than the other two. Even today there are 2 commercials running that play off of Lassie, a full 50 years after its debut.
