I'll go back even further and nominate 'Sergeant Bilko'.

Absolutely!
And:
The Crane Bothers.
Homer Simpson.
And take your pick from the cast of That 70's Show. Oh, you know the one.

Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory", played by Jim Parsons.

Both Sheldon and Leonard are works of brilliance, IMO.

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.

I didn't know Gladys and Hyacinth were American. They disguise their voices so well.

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".
