Mount Rushmore - Sitcom characters
We haven't had one in a while, and while I think we might have done TV shows, or comedies, I don't think we've done sitcom characters.
For those who may not be familiar with the excercise, the idea is to take four (no more, no less) of the particular subject at hand that you would want to have forever remembered on the face of Mount Rushmore. For example, a Mount Rushmore of black comedians MIGHT look something like: Richard Pryor Bill Cosby Eddie Murphy Chris Rock Obviously this is a matter of opinion, which is what makes it fun. That, and the "Oh yeah! I forgot about..." factor. So, that being said here goes my Mount Rushmore: Hawkeye Pierce - M.A.S.H Lucy Ricardo - I Love Lucy Frasier Crane - Cheers/Frasier Archie Bunker - All in the Family Honorable mention = Fonzie, except that he jumped the shark.

We've had three characters from Cheers named already (all of whom were, essentially, ancillary to the show). I think that's a high praise for the impact that show has had, at least on this general demographic.

What is very strange is that I would never consider Balki a contender to supplant such characters as Archie Bunker, Hawkeye Pierce, or some of the others listed here, as I was trying to recall various sitcoms over the years, Perfect Strangers is one that came to mind. Not trying to slam your choice of Balki, merely a difference of opinion, which is what this is all about anyway.

A sitcom is only 1/2 hour. There were quite a few "hour long" entries up there...
Homer Simpson - Simpsons (the legend) George Constanza - Sienfeld (amazing) Bill McNeal - Newsradio (one of the least appreciated sitcoms of its time) David Brent - The Office (simply genius. You folks who haven't had the pleasure, rent or buy the DVDs!)

George Costanza - Seinfeld
Larry David - Curb your enthusiasm Bill - Freaks and Geeks (sort of not a sit-com but whatever) Dan Conner - Roseanne Honorable Mention - Tobias and Job from Arrested Development. Either would've made the list, but it's only been on a year so it's hard to put anyone from AD above the others. |
