This is a little bit of a silly topic, but I wondered how many characters on TV wore bow ties often?

Here's three:

Inspector Luger - Barney Miller
Dr. Jerry Robinson - Bob Newhart Show
Steve Urkel - Family Matters

Orville: Hello. I'm Orville Redenbacher. Do these millionaires know about the delicious, economic snack....
Mr. Howell: Caviar? Truffles?
Mrs. Howell: Oh no darling, this is gourmet popping corn.
Orville: Right! It pops bigger and fluffier than regular popcorn. Most every kernel pops. And you can pop all of this [multiple bowls of popped popcorn on table] for about the same price as two bags of chips.
Mr. Howell: Call my broker! We'll corner the market!
Orville: Pop my Gourmet Popping Corn tonight. It's the best. Or my name isn't Orville...
Mrs. Howell: Hello. Corner Market?
Orville: ...Redenbacher
