View Full Version : Best Sidekick ? Trade Info and Poll
savageamusement 08-11-2006, 12:50 PM OKay..most shows have a side kick.
Lucy had Ethel
Batman had Robin
Bert had ernie
Shows and movies, pretty muhc always give you a sidekick
Even Meyers got Mini Me!
So in time, of movies and tv what is a show you loved and traded for because you liked the sidekick thing they had going...
gilligan fanatic 08-11-2006, 12:54 PM Gilligan and the Skipper :D
savageamusement 08-11-2006, 12:59 PM Somehow I knew you would say that Gilligan :) lol
There weren't nearly enough options on the poll, but sometimes the sidekicks made things more fun - the interaction the did- was better than the main stars acting.
I don't think Lucy would have been lucy without ethel
or of course cagney without lacey
the duo is what made the show
falc04 08-11-2006, 03:25 PM In my opinion, Barney was the best sidekick in TV history...the show wasn't nearly as good once he left.
Lex Luthor 08-11-2006, 03:44 PM Samwise Gamgee sidekick to Mr.Frodo
and of course
Legion of Doom - all sidekicks to the greatest criminal mastermind

combsisthebest 08-13-2006, 01:14 AM Reba and Barbra Jean. The most unlikely duo.
Lamont 08-13-2006, 08:05 AM NORTON!
jennymcc 08-13-2006, 11:19 AM I voted for Barney "Nip-it!" Fife, but I would also like to mention:
McHale & Ensign Parker (Tim Conway was a classic!)
Dick Loudon & George Utley (Tom Poston is great in anything!)
Chico & The Man (Jack Albertson, probably the best actor ever on a sitcom)
and...
John Steed & Emma Peel (not sure who was the sidekick, but I'll say Emma because she did most of the kicking):lol:
loren 08-13-2006, 12:28 PM norton was the best
i never liked jackie a lick, but old norton was the bomb
a close second was beavis
he gave me the greatest moment in tv history
butthead is on the toilet
beavis yells out that there was a naked chick on a video
butthead runs out quick and is mad as heck, since there wasnt a naked chick at all
beavis goes,
I BET YOU FORGOT TO WIPE
a true classic epic monent in tv history
lilhave 08-13-2006, 01:35 PM In my opinion, Barney was the best sidekick in TV history...the show wasn't nearly as good once he left.
I agree. Knotts did the show for 5 years and each year won the award for best supporting actor in a comedy. Never done before or since.
Second would have to be Art Carney, also a classic actor, Shame they don't make them like that any more.

NEVER WAS THERE ANOTHER SUCH OVER RATED PERSON ON TV
IN MY OPINION
of course i also didnt like jack benny since he was never funny at all
or milton berle, or many of the other oldtimers
oh ya, i also never like lucy ball and babalooey aka ricky the leech ricardo
i also never understood plate spinners on sullivan either
thats why its called an opinion
and this is mine
dont make me stalk you,
Lamont 08-14-2006, 12:07 PM shaking my head
maybe its b/c im a hillbilly
BUT i love ALL OF THOSE GUYS!:wave:
T-Greg 08-14-2006, 12:13 PM shaking my head
maybe its b/c im a hillbilly
BUT i love ALL OF THOSE GUYS!:wave:
I like all of them too, and I'm not a hillbilly:lol: Maybe Loren just doesn't have a sense of humor??
Lamont 08-14-2006, 12:16 PM well some people just dont like some kinds of humor
ME--- for instance i HATED friends and COSBY SHOW
never got them
never will
:(
T-Greg 08-14-2006, 12:28 PM I didn't care for Friends, but watching Jennifer Aniston is always a treat! I like Cosby though. Seinfeld has to be my favorite sitcom of this century.
loren 08-14-2006, 12:35 PM I like all of them too, and I'm not a hillbilly:lol: Maybe Loren just doesn't have a sense of humor??
greg
maybe i can send youall a sense of humor in a swap
i just cant laugh at a joke that i see comming down the road for a mile
same with bob hope
and that entire crowd
but its an opinion
and its mine
ted danson has made me laugh 100 times more than all those 40s and 50s big names combined

To each his own. I know Bob Hope's lines were recycled many times over, but I just loved the guy. I have so many great memories of him when I was very young.
