I'll name a couple I don't think got a mention. SGT Carter was always funny on Gomer Pyle. Currently, Charlie Kelly on It's Always Sunny is hysterical.

Oh yeah, I forgot.

As for Fonzie, did you know that Henry Winkler was was 29 when Happy Days first started, and the series ran for 10 years! I always thought he looked a bit out of place, hanging around all those High School kids, in the toilets of Al's Diner.

I could never get into Happy Days. I could never understand why a short-arsed twat who hung around with geeks could be considered "cool".

@Dave CHapman - you've missed the point. Fonzie was never meant to be cool - he was a deliberate subversion of a greaser. American network television was incredibly conservative at the time; by making a previously very cool (ie james dean-esque) type a bit of a dweeb, they were very cutely subverting the stereotype, making it their own if you like.

He was allowed to be cool to an extent...just in a very limited and 'safe' sense.

Go with the Homer and Bilko crowd but also Dr. Bob Kelso in Scrubs as a modern twist. Though all the Frasier characters are well put together.
