reading the thread about character with no last name gave me the idea for one about TV characters (sitcoms & dramas) with no first name:

Quincy on "QUINCY"

Palladin on "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL"

Gens. Barker and Hamilton on "MASH"

Mr. Haney on "GREEN ACRES"

His first name was Eustace and it was mentioned in at least one episode.

How about Mrs. Trumbull from I Love Lucy? They never called her by her first name. Was her first name ever mentioned?

just thought of another one-Mrs. Mannacoti on "THE HONEYMOONERS"

Norton from the Honeymooners
CPL Ergon F-troop
for a while Kramer
Bookman from Goodtimes

In the Felix the Cat cartoons, there's a brainy character named Poindexter who always refers to Felix as "Mr. Felix."

What about Lt. Columbo of Columbo?

From Leave it to Beaver

Mrs. Murdock ( Chuckie's Mother)
Mr. & Mrs. Donaldson (owners of Puff Puff the cat)

How about one of the famous ones? Newman from Seinfeld.

His first name was Cosmo.

His first name was Cosmo.

That was Kramer. Newman was his postal worker friend. (He even gave someone his business card once, and it just said Newman.)

As Jerry would say with a disgusted look on his face and clenched teeth!!!


NEWMAN!!!!!!! :mad: :D


I'm not a fan of the Seinfeld show but the "NEWMAN" shtick and the Newman character (he was funny and goofy) was one of the funniest things about the show I thought! ;) :D

Thanks treky, I was going to start a thread on this too but you beat me to it. :)

Also from MASH. I don't believe the recurring characters of Sergeant Zale and then later Sergeant Rizzo (who actually replaced Zale) were ever given first names. But I could be wrong, but I really don't remember first names being used for them.

Ed.

there names were Zelmo Zale and Luther Rizzo.

Really? Interesting. I can only remember everybody always calling them both sergeant or only by their last names.

Ed.

speaking of MASH thay cook they had for one or two seasons toward the end of the shows run-you know, that italian middle aged guy-I don't think they ever said his first name OR his last name. I could be wrong though.

I wonder if using Zale and Rizzo (both names have the letter Z in them) was intentional on the writers' part? Not names you hear too often. I've never met anybody with either last name.

I remember it as Matilda.

It's not a sitcom, but on Fantasy Island the mysterious Mr. Roarke never had a first name.

Ed.

Dorfman on Camp Wilder

His name was Sgt. Salvatore Pernelli.

Quincy on "QUINCY"

Palladin on "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL"

Gens. Barker and Hamilton on "MASH"

Mr. Haney on "GREEN ACRES"

Gen. Wilson Spaulding Barker.
Gen. Crandell Clayton. There never was a General Hamilton in the show.

What about Lt. Columbo of Columbo?

It was Frank.

Mr. Slate, Fred Flintstone's boss. Was his first name ever mentioned?

Mr. Slate, Fred Flintstone's boss. Was his first name ever mentioned?

Several times, but they keep changing his first name:

Mr. Rockhead Sylvester Nate Oscar George Slate is Fred's boss at the Bedrock Quarrel and Gravel Company. He is voice by John Stephenson.

Mr. Slate was born in Granite Town and lived at 140 Boulder Avenue. Right next door at 142 Boulder Avenue lived his sister Flo Slate Rubble mother of Barney Rubble. See Season 3 Episode 2: Fred's New Boss

An ongoing gag with Mr. Slate is that they always add new names. It has changed from Sylvester to Nate, Oscar and even George.

OMG!!!! I must have been under a rock (no pun intended)! :confused: I'm a HUGE Flintstone fan, and I didn't ever catch ,or maybe I just don't remember Mr. Slate being called by his first name!!! :confused: Whenever I think of Mr. Slate I think of him yelling at Fred " FLINTSTOOOOOOOOONE" !!!! And Fred groveling saying " Bbbbbbbbbb But Mr. Slate"!!!!!!!! :lol: :D

How about Schroeder from the Peanuts specials? I think that was suppose to be his last name.

Hmmm, I always thought Schroeder was his first name. It'd be interesting to look it up.
