What are some of your favorite HD characters that, from any time span in the show's 11 year run, you enjoyed the most, and why so? Did they present a certain element along with their character that you enjoyed? Were they funny, pleasant, quite a character etc.? Explain and vote on the poll. Discuss. Mine would either have to be Pat Morita as Arnold and Marsha, the waitress early on at Arnolds.

Edit: Realize that I forgot to add some other small or short lived characters on the poll, such as Clarence and others.

Mork! (Robin Williams) he was funny and genuine at the same time. I wish he would have done more than those 2 episodes.

Mork!

No Way !!!! Sorry, but somehow I can't stand him. Shrugs.

Sticks is "Fonzie's new Friend" ... the black Guy, who should become the Band's new Drummer. But all the Kids (except for our Gang of course) avoided him (cause their Parents told them so...)

But yeah, I liked Sticks. He was a nice Fellow!

my favorite minor character was Daphne, the girl drummer in the band, she only had a few speaking lines in the entire series but she was great.

Arnold wasn't really a minor character in my eyes - he was a big part of the show when he was on, and he was always hilarious.

Wendy was great too - she had a special naivety that played really well and she was a sweetheart, Marsha was hilarious as well.

Jenny Picalo was another favorite of mine, both before and after she made an appearance on the show.

Well Arnold was big, but he was only in 3 seasons out of 11...so you're right, he's not that minor of a character, but idk, i just put him in their cause Al Molinaro was in their more as Arnold..

I liked Marsha and Arnold the best, these characters were underused. Marsha went on to WonderWoman as the General's secretary Etta Candy.

He was in that Hot Rod episode where he challenges Ralph to a street drag race, but Fonzie is the driver for Ralph's car. (First season)
