Willona Woods from Good Times is my favorite neighbor. She was so stylish and sassy! I don't hate Steve Urkel from Family Matters, but I wouldn't want to deal with him on a regular basis.

Neighbors on TV shows are always the best, Mr. Bentley on The Jeffersons was a favorite, as was the entire Jefferson family on All In The Family. Wilona was the only funny woman on Good Times, and, although he got ended up killing the show -- Family Matters would have never lasted without Steve Urkel.
Mr favorite TV neighbors are Jerry and Millie Helper on The Dick Van Dyke Show and Kramer from Seinfeld.

Mr. Bently was cool man! Even though he wasn't a neighbor, but Ralph the doorman sucked! If I had to chose I favorite neighbor, I would go with Schenider from One Day at a Time. A worse would be that annoying f-ckin nerd Steve Urkel.

Favorites: Kramer from Seinfeld and Alex on Joey.
I honestly can't think of a least favorite. Like barwars said, neighbors are usually some of the best parts of a show.

Least favorite include Helen Willis (The Jeffersons)
I think I would put her as a least favorite also. She was very dull.... but Tom was a riot. Maybe everything about them had to be different.
He was white.... she was black.
He was funny.... she wasn't.
She was attractive.... he wasn't.
She could dance.... he was white.
EDIT: I found a least favorite....
Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. She wasn't funny, and she wasn't cute. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I think Mr. Bentley was the weirdes neighbor of all Time because of that-"George can you walk o my back"=LOL I never understood why the writers included that backwalking mess in the script

Because it got big laughs and it was a reasonable thing to do. People have people walk on their backs all the time, it really can relieve a lot of tension. I've had people walk on my back before.
Anyways, Mr. Bentley was suppossed to be ecentric. Ralph the doorman was cool, but aside from him -- the white guys on The Jeffersons were dorks. Funny, but dorks.

Maybe it was odd because it was a man walking on another man-LOL I think if one of Mr. Bentley's date walked on him it wouldn't have looked so weird

Yeah That was the only weird thing about the Jeffersons. Other than that back walking thing, everything else on the show was fine

It was probably because George was lighter than any date Bentley could find.
