That should give him at least top 20 over all

59 is atrocious

sandman! · 11-03-2015, 07:30 PM

should be #1

mikesouth · 11-03-2015, 07:40 PM

while I disagree on much of these archie bunker is a good choice for number one and for the record he was not racist...he was bigoted...there IS a difference.

some omissions that I think were more deserving than some of the ones mentioned...

Gregory House

Boyd Crowder

Omar Little

PluginForage · 11-03-2015, 07:45 PM

I sure would like to do the daughter of peg and al!

Rochard · 11-03-2015, 08:04 PM

I would have thought the Fonz would have got first place....

420 · 11-03-2015, 08:23 PM

Why are some of them multiple characters (entire cast of seinfeld?!) and some a single person? I can't take this seriously with such inconsistencies.

izombie · 11-03-2015, 09:04 PM

Fred Sanford is only 40 I am disappointed, Redd Foxx was my childhood hero.

DBS.US · 11-03-2015, 09:26 PM

davidclickpapa · 11-04-2015, 03:08 AM

never heard of the top 3 before

DVTimes · 11-04-2015, 03:17 AM

it looks like its a usa only list

but is bilko on the list?

_Richard_ · 11-04-2015, 03:27 AM

Sunny Day · 11-04-2015, 05:19 AM

Talk about the toughest list to get on. Best movies, best rock songs have nothing over this list. Even placement on the list is tough.
Two I see didn't make it.

David Jansen in The Fugitive. People watched that show and in real life and with the help of F Lee Baily, got Dr. Sam Sheppard a new trial and acquittal of murdering his wife.

Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) on Petty Coat Junction. Sit on the porch swing, take a nap, let the dog do the heavy lifting. A character he played in many a movie.
Once working in a store in Corpus Christi I surprised a senior couple by knowing where Humansville Missouri was. Birth place of Edgar Buchanan. Just so happened my parents had lots at the lake a few miles away.
Husband ran out of the store, looking for his wife, "Martha, Martha, this young man knows where Humansville is."
Was that any easy store sale.

Read too fast didn't see Dr Kimble.

MrBottomTooth · 11-04-2015, 05:28 AM

Some good ones on the list, but then they throw in crap like Ally McBeal, Murphy brown, cast of Will and Grace. Blah.

Sunny Day · 11-04-2015, 05:31 AM

I read something recently that character Detective Jon Munch had been the longest running TV detective

Emma Peel makes the list

So why not Canadian Red/Green or English Mrs. Bucket?

I swear every time I hire someone to fix my house Mr. Red/Green shows up.

Maybe because some of them are "glued" together and run almost as a single unit

I mean they have tony soprano and carmela soprano as 2 separate and al bundy with peg bundy as one. And you can understand why.

I assume most of the more than one person in the list are from sitcoms when most of them are always in the same room.

rogueteens · 11-04-2015, 05:42 AM

very American list, where's Basil Fawlty, Captain Mannering, Mr Humfreys, Victor Meldew .. ect ...

The first non American in that list should be Mr. Bean. Now I am surprised not to see him there (unless missed). And also surprised not to see him in your short list as well.

The following people got dissed with this list :

Buck Wheat

I agree with you that Al should be much higher on the list; but disagree with this statement.

Cranston made WW. The storyline was insanely good, but he totally owned that role.

For me it is like that:

I hear "Married with children" and my first thought is "Al Bundy was legendary".
I hear "Breaking Bad" and my first thought is "BB was an awesome show".

If you catch my drift.

Google Expert · 11-04-2015, 02:44 PM

I noticed you didn't say al and peg were legendary.

I guess there couldn't be al without peggy. Then, why is homer simpson on that list without marge?

oh no! theres no PoC for 16 spots, well out of the 8th spot a PoC should have been designated to remain proportionate to the population.

if only disney coulda run the list, it woulda been a fucking rainbow at the top of it.

Reminded me of how some moron recently (a year ago maybe) raised a question why there were no Africans nominated for Oscar.

Even if nobody was worth it you must include at least one. That is the "logic" of many idiots (blacks and guilters alike).

Speaking about disney, this list is by bravo network, it is "liberal" as well, no? At least in terms of gay propaganda (always abnormally high percentage of gay brokers in million dollar listing etc).

come to think of it, a PoC (i am enjoying my newfound progressive PC diction!) coulda been #1 on the list...
