And the results are in …

Loved that list, especially how the cast of M*A*S*H was listed together, I thought that was awesome. I have become addicted to that show in recent years, never watched it when it was on, and I am completely in awe of the quality of acting on the show by everyone.
Lucille Ball is definitely the #1 TV character ever, that top 5 is right on.
I don’t know. Substitute Hawkeye Pierce for Ed Norton and move him up to #2 and you probably have my list.
But then I’ve never watched the Honeymooners.
I might also have made Archie and Edith one entry.
Barry –
woulda coulda shoulda
Then make your own list.
Alex puts a ton of work into that shite – and it’s HER LIST. Make your own if you don’t like hers.
She didn’t WANT to put Edith and Archie into one – because … uhm … it’s her list. Cagney and Lacey were one entry … she had a couple of double entries – but in her opinion, Edith and Archie deserved separate listings.
Also: if you’ve never watched The Honeymooners then you have NO business bumping Ed Norton off of anything.
I enjoyed reading Alex’s POV on the list. Very entertaining. I don’t agree with everything, but it’s not my list.
However, my list would include Hasselhoff just so people could talk about how he doesn’t belong on the list.
From his Night Rider days or his Baywatch days??
I think it’d be a tie. Perhaps the Baywatch Hoff saves the drowning Knight Rider Hoff’s life.
But that might present too much Hoff for the world and the universe would collapse upon itself. Yes, it’s probably best to have a Hoff-less list.
No comment.
Michael Knight could kick that wuss-ass, running-in-slow-motion, turd for brains from Baywatch any day, any time.
Or at least his talking car could.
Now I’m going to have the theme song from that bloody show stuck in my head all day.
You had to do that Cullen didn’t you? You just had to do that. That’s a great top five I think and the Chuckles the Clown funeral was one of the funniest scenes ever.
I wish I owned the Chuckles episode – I could pop it in whenever I’m having a blue moment. It’s one of the funniest bits I’ve ever seen in my life. hahahahahahaha
I brought up the Hoff, yes. But I didn’t bring up … the Ho.
hahahaha The ho who is now a “best-selling author”!!
I defy you to show me one picture of her actually holding up a pen!
Somehow, some way, I will find a photo where the puppet strings are not digitally removed. Good God, don’t you just want to MAKE her eat a Twinkie or something?
Another one…um, why is she famous again? Because she liked to get drunk with Paris Hilton?
Her father is Lionel Richie. And yeah – she and Paris were once “best friends” and they did that show called The Simple Life where they went and lived on a farm. But now they are sworn enemies and will not “work” together again.
Sheila.. I’m saying if it were MY list. I’m not telling her to bump anyone off…. yeesh.
Well, I guess when your first response to something, Barry, is what you think is MISSING – I find that obnoxious. Who asked you?
How ’bout getting into Alex’s world and enjoying what she has created?
If you had said: “Great list! But I would have done this this and that” – maybe I wouldn’t have bit your head off. But you didn’t. You leapt to the nitpick.
I find that obnoxious.
I find the fact that Nicole Ritchie wants to actually look like a starving child obnoxious.
Polka dots are pretty obnoxious too.
Advice that’s ruled my life:
“A little song, a little dance, a little Seltzer down your pants”
what a great list. MTM is my favorite. I wish the reruns were shown more often or at least at a time of day that I’m awake. I swear I would be happy just watching that show, and the Jeffersons and The Odd Couple. -and the old Bob Newhart show.
I think they’re great choices.
I loved Lucy as a youngster but I haven’t seen the shows in years so the feeling has faded a bit. But the one in the top five that had the biggest effect on me was Norton.
I still do Ed Norton movements without thinking about it to this day. For example, imagine Ralph waiting for Norton to, say, sign something. Ed picks up the pen, spreads his arms, shakes his hands just to get warmed up. He leans over the paper…but then he backs away, rolling his shoulders a bit. He leans forward to write…but then pulls his hands back once more, jiggles them the exercise his fingers. Then he leans forward, ever so slowly…and Ralph explodes!
