Some characters who had trouble getting dates made no sense to me because they were really attractive. These come to mind...

Rebecca Howe on Cheers. She was always on the prowl for a husband.

Reggie on Becker. She was a knockout, yet it was a running joke on the show that she couldn't get a date.

Helen on Wings. Simply adorable, but had trouble finding Mr. Right.

For men, Bob on Becker, but he was crazy, so it made sense.

Cliff Clavin on Cheers was a lonely guy.

I never understood how they made Rebecca look like this female who could not get a date. Here was this gorgeous businesswoman....uh, there it is, the guys were intimidated by her. Oh well, their loss. :snob: :crazy:

Angela Bower on Who's the Boss. Same deal.

Screech from Saved By The Bell

Well, that's a no brainer there. :lol:

Carlton on Fresh Prince

Rhoda (when she was on the MTM Show) spent a lot of Saturday nights alone. That was sort of a running joke.

To the person who mentioned Helen on Wings - I'm not sure I agree w/ that. She dated Joe for quite awhile, then there was Davis Lynch, and in between there were a couple other guys. If anyone on the show had trouble dating, I'd prob. say Antonio.

Dorothy Spornack from The Golden Girls
Iola Boylan from Mama's Family
Aunt Fran from Mama's Family
Mouth McFadden from One Tree Hill (I know. Not a sitcom, but true)

By all means, dramas are fine. I never specified only sitcoms. I just couldn't think of a drama character to list, so thanks. :)

Definitely Antonio. He was enough to make a person cry, lol. I mentioned Helen. It just seemed to me, that although she had her share of dates, that nothing seemed to work out for her. It was all sort of tied into her diner thing, and having no luck getting her career off the ground. She often complained about all that, her unhappiness in general. I was happy when she ended up with Joe, and used to wish it would just happen, but that would have made for a dull show, lol. The sexual tension between them was necessary. Sort of like Sam and Diane on Cheers.

del cassidy (caroline in the city)
joey (friends)

i might be wrong about this but what about roz doyle (frasier)?

Roz Doyle really never had a problem finding men. She had a very active sex life. On the other hand, Frasier Crane had one mishap after another finding a date. :lol:

Newman on Seinfeld

Newman on Seinfeld

Ralph and Potsie on Happy Days

Lenny & Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley (they did manage to drum up a few dates though) lol!

Jo on FOL sometimes had trouble getting dates.

Louie De Palma on Taxi but he did finally manage to land a girlfriend.

Fez- That 70's Show

Newman on Seinfeld

Ralph and Potsie on Happy Days


Actually Newman was quite the ladies man - Babs (Cosmo's mother), supermodel from a birthday wish, one of Jerry's former girlfriend, etc.

Lucy and Ethel on I love lucy. Lucy went through her entire black book to no avail. Rhonda;s sister had difficulty finding date. Mr. Carliton on the Bob Newhart show. George Utley on Newhart.

why would Lucy and Ethel want dates? They were both happily married.

True, but not compared to Jerry/George/Elaine having a girlfriend/boyfriend basically every episode , even though they were all weird

why would Lucy and Ethel want dates? They were both happily married.

The first season- the episode -The Girls Want to go to a Nightclub, Fred and Ethel's anniversary, Fred and Ricky want to go to the fights, Lucy and Ethel want to go to the Copa - they threaten that they will find their own dates to take them - Lucy goes through her entire blackbook and could not find a date.

Meg from Family Guy....obviously :)

Forgot about her! LOL

Forgot about her! LOL
and Liz from 30 Rock! i forgot about her too

and Liz from 30 Rock! i forgot about her too
Her too!

Regina, on The Steve Harvey Show. She was smokin' hot, but was always complaining about how she couldn't land a boyfriend. She'd get one here and there, but not often.

Janet , Mr. Furley from Three's Company Chrissy and Jack always had dates

Roz Doyle really never had a problem finding men. She had a very active sex life. On the other hand, Frasier Crane had one mishap after another finding a date. :lol:

:lol:

I forgot about Eddie Haskell from Leave it to Beaver. He always had to include Wally to get a date.:lol:

akippy on family ties. he aslwy asking marlloy for date she turns him down all the time.
then steve urakl. he always ask laura for a date. she turns him down all the time

Paul form the wonder years. he didn't date much. he did go out with some agirsl can't spell her name. he even went on date with winnie copper once.

Leonard, Sheldon, Howard & Raj from The Big Bang Theory have quite a bit of trouble with the dating scene.

Well, Carlton from "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" actually had a lot of dates over the six year run of the show. He didn't have a girl in almost every episode though, like Will did, and compared to him, he was a loser in that department. But one girl at a time is enough, isn't it? And he managed to get dates to a lot of dances and the prom. And does everybody have to be like Will? I would take Carlton instead of Will any day.

Steve Urkel also had the adorable Myra Mounkhouse, who he had to jilt as soon as the bitch Laura beckoned him with her little finger.

i have to say that i agree with you. even though he is a bit geeky, carlton is still funny and smart

He reminds me of my brother, geeky and snobby. :lol:

Joey had no trouble getting dates..neither did Phoebe...in the beginning Chandler and Monica had trouble getting dates...Rachel never had a problem but her mind kept wondering back to the great love of her life...Ross would get dates but then have a dry spell and then get a date and do something stupid on them like wear leather pants that dont fit or bleach his teeth for a girl. ..
Will Truman also had man problems...
Joey 's nephew Michael on Joey and Howie also had problems getting dates
George Costanza on Seinfeld too..actually also Jerry had his share of women problems

Definitely Antonio from Wings, which I never could understand because he really was a sweetie.

Radar from MASH couldn't always find a date either.

Coretta Cox- The Steve Harvey Show
Coach Beiste- Glee
