In animated shows, characters usually wear the same clothes in every (or most) episodes.

Are there any live action characters that wear the same clothes most of the time?

Main characters of Bonanza almost always wore the same outfits, starting around season 3. Before that there was more variety in their wardrobes.

The main characters on M.A.S.H. or at least it seemed like it. Maybe they were all supposed to have more than one uniform but it didn't seem that way. Come to think of it they never did show that the camp had some kind of laundry facility. Where would they've washed clothes anyways?

Sam Jones (Mayberry RFD) There probably may have been some different outfits, but he seemed to wear the same shirt and pants very often. I thought this seemed kind of strange for this sort of show?

the Cartwrights didn't mostly in the early episodes; then they started to in order to make filming easier.

This kind of varies but Frasier and Niles mostly wore suits on "Frasier" and Martin always wore either a flannel or checkered shirt. They did change into different outfits every once in a while but usually this is what they wore.

Dennis the Menace always has on those baggy overalls in the first few seasons.
He probably has the same shirt too.

Louie DePalma (Danny DeVito on "Taxi") almost always wore that pink dress shirt with a gray vest.

Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd on "Taxi") almost always wore the dirty blue jeans jacket with blue jeans pants.

Latka Gravas (Andy Kaufman on "Taxi") almost always wore his mechanics coveralls.

Lowell Mather (Thomas Haden Church on "Wings") almost always wore his mechanics coveralls.

Coach (Nicholas Colasanto on "Cheers") almost always wore his white dress shirt with black pants and a (clip-on) tie.

Ed Norton (Art Carney on "The Honeymooners") almost always wore a white shirt with a vest over it as well as a hat (and pants and shoes, too, haha!).

not always-in a lot of the early "Honeymooners" sketches from Dumonts "Cavalcade of Stars" where Pert Kelton played Alice; a lot of times he wore a white shirt amd black pants.

Happy Days, Fonzie (or The Fonz if you prefer) was usually seen wearing his black leather jacket, white T shirt, and blue jeans.

The Dukes Of Hazzard. Boss Hogg was usually seen wearing an all white 3 piece suit with a white cowboy hat. Roscoe Coltrane was usually always wearing his sheriff's uniform and hat. Uncle Jesse was always wearing bib overalls and a red baseball-style cap. And Daisy was almost always wearing a pair of cutoff jeans that were really short. Denim cut-off shorts were eventually nicknamed "Daisy Dukes"!

Officially Fonzie's leather jacket was Dark Brown, a black leather jacket was considered too much like a motorcycle gang thing +-

Probably in the early days the clothes budget wasn't much. Years ago when Dynasty was on, the clothes budget was enormous. I like it when the characters wear the same clothes again and again. That way the characters are more like you and me vs some rich rich person.

"Janitor" the hospital janitor played by Neil Flynn on Scrubs (I don't remember that they ever told us his actual name). He was usually seen wearing his janitor's uniform in every episode.
