I'm talking about the hapless but sweet men on TV who never seemed to get the girl, always got the rotten breaks, had to deal with horrible bosses (or all of the above!). Here are some examples:

Deputy Enos Strate - Dukes of Hazzard
Murray Slaughter - Mary Tyler Moore Show
Beaker - The Muppet Show

peter brady of the brady bunch never could seem to catch a break

stan kelley - the commish (he struck out a lot with the girls/his fiancee left him at the altar/he often got the crappy assignments)
harry t. stone - he failed at finding love over and over

For a long time, Drew Carey. The show started out being about the fact that he was a lovable loser.

KEVIN ARNOLD!!! Need I say more?

Dr. Frasier Crane!!

I guess we could count Charlie Brown since there were many Peanuts TV specials.

Henry Blake from MASH (Poor guy couldn't even make it home alive.)

Antonio from Wings.

Dr. Greene from ER. (He wound up dying too.)

Charlie Brown (He never stopped trying though.)

Zoidberg from Futurama.

David Banner(The Incredible Hulk) for an obvious reason :D

Spence from King of Queens

He had a girlfriend once in a while, but he worked for the subway selling tokens, his "friends" made fun of him, lived with his mom for a while, even TiVo gave him no respect!!(All you KoQ fans know what I mean!!:D )

David Banner(The Incredible Hulk) for an obvious reason :D
Yes ma'am.



Fry from Futurama.

Alex from Taxi.
