Hellooo?
Richard "Boner" Stabone?
Geesh!
Irwin "Skippy" Handleman?
Where's the love?
Ed Klawicki?
Come on!
Gus Borden?
What the fuck, LB? Where's your game?
These characters are classic!
I'm just fucking with you, for real. You had me at "Lembeck".
And anybody who watched as much "My Two Dads" as I did probably deserves to be shot in the head and dumped in the Ohio.
I'll try to include some more alternative lifestyle shows next time to appeal to your demographic.
Monroe Ficus
Is that better?

God bless Jim J. Bullock.
When America needed a strong gay character on TV to stand up against the prejudice and hatred directed at the homosexual community during the 80's AIDS scare, Jim J. was there to act the buffoonish flaming stereotype.
He's the Long Duck Dong of the gay community, the Lil' Sambo of the San Francisco set.
I'm just glad he was able to parlay it into a years-long run on Hollywood Squares.

Posted by: Drew at March 9, 2005 11:17 PMI overlooked Larry, he is already on the list
Posted by: Drew at March 10, 2005 7:35 PMum, The Jeffersons, maybe?
Posted by: telly at March 15, 2005 9:12 AMP.S. I second Boner. Any character whose name alone can keep a show out of syndication deserves all kinds of recognition. Also: Stinky. And Kimmy Gibbler. And STEFAN URQUELLE!!! Helloooo? And what of Mr. Feeny?
Pretty much the whole TGIF lineup is up for grabs.
Cosmo Kramer? Newman? (Too obvious?)
Also, don't forget that Empty Nest and The Golden Girls were neighbors.
Posted by: telly at March 15, 2005 9:27 AMHow about a hi-dilly-ho neighborino?
But I guess Ned doesn't fall into the ironic category.
Posted by: BillyT at March 17, 2005 11:16 PMI tried to do obscure neighbors or mess around with popular neighbor's names. I touched on TGIF with Cody Lambert from Step by Step. It was really hard to do only 13! I wanted to include one of the Urkel incarnations. It's funny, on IMDB Jaleel White is listed as playing Steven 'Steve' Quincy Urkel/Stefan Urquelle/Myrtle Urkel/Bruce Lee Urkel. I was looking for a way to include the urkelbot (who I'm a fan of because it was played by Boogaloo Shrimp aka Turbo of Breakin I & II) but it just didn't make the cut.
