_jr_ Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I caught a little of this. IMO, they could have left Lucy off the list. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone loved Lucy. To me, she was irritating. There's a difference between being funny and "Look at me, I'm being funny" Lucy was the latter. 100. Xena 99. Monk 98. Steve Urkel 97. Dr. Smith 96. Artie 95. Doug Ross 94.

windy1 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 No Lucy? I don't know jr, she may have had that look at me quality, but she knew when you looked it was going to be funny. I grew up with Lucy. She'll always be in my top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Al Bundy should have been #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Kat WQAQ98.1 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 On the whole I think it was a decent list. Archie Bunker as #1 is a wise choice, from both a fan stand point and a critical stand point. I would argue some placement of characters a little but, not much of an arguement of oversight. My Top Five: 5. jessica Fletcher 4. Lucy Ricardo 3. Mork 2. Hawkeye Pierce 1. Archie Bunker Honorable Mentions: Sylvia (golden girls) Dr. Mark Greene Dana Scully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete38890 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Anyone who claims not to recognize Archie Bunker is either pulling your wanker or too out of touch to reason with. I think Lucy is way overrated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 The Cast of "Everybody Loves Raymond" needs to be added. Yes, there are some characters that alone are annoying, but all together, you have to laugh at them. They all deserve each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 If I was in Raymond's family, I would have choked every f***ing one of them to death - starting with Raymond - and I would have enjoyed doing it. Then I would have made myself a pizza and sat down and watched reruns of "Married With Children", which is a hundred times funnier and a thousand times more realistic.

CanAm Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 All in all, a pretty good list. My top 10 in descending order: 1. Archie Bunker 2. Mr. Spock 3. Hawkeye Pierce 4. Jim Rockford - the best private dick in television history. 5. Barney Fife 6. Colonel Henry Blake 7. Captain Kirk - The man was a walking hormone. Human, alien or artificial life form, it was all the same to Kirk. He could kick Picard's backside without even working up a sweat. 8. Mary Richards 9. Edith Bunker 10. Joe Friday I also think that the character of Lucy was overrated. IMO, Desi Arnaz was the unsung comic genius in that show. :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I?m glad to see someone who shares the same shear hatred for ?Everybody Loves Raymond? I hate it with every fiber of my being, it?s the stupidest show on television. They keep crap like that on TV yet were on the verge of canceling Arrested Development, which I my mind is up there as one of the funniest shows on TV right now. TV executives, what goes through their minds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Looks like a list intentionally compiled to list both old and new shows in order to appeal to all rather than a serious survey. Where's Sgt. Schultz !? Cliff Clayburn ? Norm ? Maude ? JR Ewing ? Mr. Roarke and Tatoo ? Steve Austin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 What if I lose the remote control? Then, what do I do? Kick in the f***ing TV set. I hate that show, too. Maude MUSICAL THEME SONG INTERLUDE: Lady Godiva was a freedom rider, She didn't care of the whole world looked. Joan of Arc, with the lord to guide her, She was a sister who really cooked. Isadora was a first bra burner Aint' ya glad she showed up? And when the country was falling apart Betsy Ross got it all sewed up And then there's Maude And then there's Maude And then there's that old compromisin, enterprisin' anything but traqulizin' Right on Maude!!!
