Darrin Stephens - Bewitched

The detectives at the 1-2 (and prisoners) - Barney Miller

Willie Lawrence - Family

Hayden Fox - Coach

Sgt. Vince Carter (GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.): "I CAN'T HEARRRRRR YOUUUUU!"

Laura on LHOP also seemed to yell quite a bit as she got older. :lol: Also, Oliver Douglas (Green Acres) raised his voice quite often.

Arthur (Jerry Stiller) on The King of Queens - but that's one of the things I like about him

Carl- Family Matters
Uncle Phil- Fresh Prince

How could I forget the Barones (Everybody Loves Raymond)??

The Connor Family- Roseanne

The Skipper - Gilligan's Island
Mr. Wilson - Dennis the Menace

Fred Flintstone- The Flintstones
Fred Mertz- I Love Lucy
Ricky Ricardo-I Love Lucy
Captain Binghamton-McHale's Navy
Jim and Andy-According To Jim

Also:
Cosmo Spacely (THE JETSONS)
And how could I forget ..
Peter Potamus (and his "patented hippo hurricane holler")!

Louis- Malcom in the Middle
Red- That 70's Show

Lois - Malcolm in the Middle

How could anyone forget Tony Nelson on I Dream of Jeannie? He was always yelling at Jeannie for one thing or another. Most of the time she deserved it, but he did tend to go overboard at times because after all she was "only trying to help him".

The girls on The Golden Girls yelled at each other quite a bit especially when they were sitting at the kitchen table having their late night talks. Those late night talks were some of my favorite scenes of the series.

Barney Fife seemed to yell quite a bit on The Andy Griffith Show. It was pretty funny most of the time because he would yell about things that were so stupid but probably made sense to him. He yelled at Goober and Otis a lot but mostly because they acted so dumb. You had to love him.

Almost any character from Cheers and Frasier. :lol:

Oh, I forgot to add Frank DeFazio from Laverne & Shirley. Now THERE'S an Old Yeller. :eek: :rofl:

True!! Don't know how I ever forgot about him and Red Foreman.

Alex Rieger and Louie DePalma from Taxi were no slouches in the yelling department, either! :rofl:

sherman potter mash

Alan Brady - The Dick Van Dyke Show

Yelling, just plain loud...

Just about any character on Sanford and Son
Alice - The Brady Bunch
ALF - ALF
Suzanne Sugarbaker - Designing Women, Julia could hold her own too
Florence Jean Castleberry - Alice
Thelma Harper - Mama's Family
Larry - Perfect Strangers

Gladys Kravitz - Bewitched ("ABNER! ABNER!!") :rofl:

George Jefferson could also do some loud yelling on The Jeffersons.

Jackie Gleason in the Honeymooners
Ricky on I Love Lucy Mira esta mujer si tiene cosa!

George Costanza (Seinfeld)...

"NO I WILL NOT KEEP MY VOICE DOWN!!" :lol:

Just about all of Norman Lear's sitcoms have characters always yelling, arguing and fighting.

I know! I can't think of one of his shows where the characters weren't constantly yelling. :lol:

Yes, Larry was certainly a good yeller. His first boss, Mr. Twinkacetti, could yell with the best of them, too. So could Lydia Markham. :lol:

two of the best yellers on television Maddie Hayes and David Addison of Moonlighting and also Ross Geller of FRIENDS occasionally screamed when he was RED ROSS.

George Costanza (Seinfeld)...

"NO I WILL NOT KEEP MY VOICE DOWN!!" :lol:

Frank Costanza and, of course, Jerry on Seinfeld.

Dan Fielding from Night Court. Dan yelled a lot when he was nervous or under pressure about something.

Shel from Dave's World, he has to be the loudest character on that show because he's constantly obsessing and worrying over something.

I know! I can't think of one of his shows where the characters weren't constantly yelling. :lol:
Ann Romano of One Day at A Time was always yelling and screaming about something.

She was the first TV mom who displayed a temper. Bonnie Franklin can go there when she let Ann loose on her temper.

Just about all of Norman Lear's sitcoms have characters always yelling, arguing and fighting.


Which is why I try to avoid them as often as possible. :lol:


I remember that TV Guide once did a study during the mid-or-late 70s in which they measured how loud some of these shows really were. The study showed that "All In The Family" had the loudest decibel level among all primetime shows of that era and it won by a wide margin. "The Jeffersons" was second and "Maude" also scored very high. It's a wonder that poor Norman Lear himself didn't go deaf after these series all ended. He had said that "All In The Family" was based on his own family. If that's true I feel very sorry for him.

Frank and Margaret on MASH

Sharkey - CPO Sharkey (boy when even one little thing went wrong he needed to find someone to yell at!) :lol:

Almost everyone on The Sopranos

No fans of My Three Sons here...?? CHARLEY O'CASEY, one of the all-time great yellers! And Bub did his share of yelling in the earlier seasons.

I've been watching reruns of the now-defunct soap Ryan's Hope on YouTube. They had their fair share of yellers, including:

* Johnny Ryan (the late Bernard Barrow)
* Delia Reid Ryan Ryan Coleridge Crane Coleridge (Ilene Kristen played the part the longest)
* Dr. Roger Coleridge (Ron Hale; now GH's Mike)
* Mary Ryan Fenelli (most notably played by Kate Mulgrew)
* Dr. Faith Coleridge (at her angriest, played by Karen Morris-Gowdy)
* Siobhan Ryan Novak (played most notably by Sarah Felder and Marg Helgenberger. Yes, THAT Marg Helgenberger. ;))
* Jillian Coleridge Beaulac Ryan (the late Nancy Addison)
* Kimberly Harris Beaulac (Kelli Maroney)
and the loudest one of all:
* Jack Fenelli (Michael Levin)

Sgt. Carter-"GOMER PYLE: U.S.M.C."

"PYLE"!!

Tom Bradford on "Eight is Enough"
Janet Wood "Three's Company". :)

True!! Don't know how I ever forgot about him and Red Foreman.

Then there was little Ritchie Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Did that kid ever say any line without SCREAMING it?? :eek:
