IYO, who's the best sitcom character of all time?

[1899horn]

 

[ElJefe]

The Real Deal Bill McNeal

 

[chango]

The first thought I had was "costanza and barney". But I want to add a shout out to Granny Clampett..

 

[Art Vandelay]

[RabidLonghorn]

Jimmy James
The man so great they named him twice.

 

[Crusher X]

I gotta go with Real Deal Bill McNeal. Talk about a show absolutely sucking after Phil Hartman passed. News Radio was a fantastic show. Bill McNeal was the best character.

Tie: Co-stanza and Homer J. Simpson.

Then it's (in no particular order):

Micheal Scott (The Office)
Stewie from the Family Guy
Dwight Schrute
Bill McNeal
Archie Bunker
Bob Newhart
Frasier Crane
Al Bundy
Fred Sanford
Ted Baxter
Hank Kingsley

[The Eyes of Texas]

Sam Mayday Malone

and Henri from Cheers...not so much overall but he was an integral part of my favorite sit-com episode of all time...the quest to name the king of the babe hounds.

Louie DePalma

I'll go with Archie Bunker then, Archie Bunker now, and Archie Bunker forever.

 

[Statalyzer]

Steve Erkel
Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball is the actress, not the character).

 

[UofTOrange]

It's a new one, but absolutely up there for me.

All time, I'm not a Seinfeld fan, but Costanza is a fanstastic character.

Cliff Huxtable was pretty damn good too

 

[Son of a Son]

UofT beat me to it. Though Barney has no longevity, some day he will be LEGEN (wait for it) DARY.

As for the old/long timers, I have to go with Hawkeye.

 

[Napoleon]

I immediately thought KRAMER before clicking on the thread.

You could write absolutely any oddball, wacky storyline and it was perfect for KRAMER.

 

[Heretic Horn]

Archie Bunker.
Homer Simpson.
Alf.

 

[Ramathorn]

Who put that pic of Perriloux?




Niles Crane is a good one too.

Eddie Haskell

 

[Geaux_22]

Fred Sanford

Dan from Night Court and Joey on Friends are two others I think were funny.

 

[CottonEyedHorn]

"I'm actually a lot like a camel. I can go for months without water. "

He's right on up there.

 

[Heretic Horn]

Gotta throw Ralph Kramden in there too.
