Wally's Friend Chester ... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

... seemed like a normal guy but Chester didn't hang around long in the series. Too bad because Wally deserved some decent looking and decent acting guys to hang out with. So how come a cool guy like Wally got stuck with the uncool likes of Lumpy, Eddie, and Tooey?

I suppose Chester and Tooey (2E) got phased out when Eddie and Lumpy became more popular.

Chester was a cutie, I would have liked to see him in more eps too.

Yeah Chester and Tooey should have been part of the group and stuck around.

Hey, what's wrong with Eddie?

Wally told Eddie right from the earliest episodes that he was a creep and that people didn't like him. Wally continued to tell Eddie the same thing (in one way or another) throughout the series. The Wally-Eddie "best friends" thing just didn't make sense. Would you want someone for a best friend that verbally abused your little brother day after day? I think the writers enjoyed creating and developing a character like Eddie and they realized that in making Eddie Wally's best friend, Eddie could make frequent appearances on the show with little ado.

Without question, Edward Clark Haskell is one of television’s best-loved, most often quoted wise guys. He probably ranks right beside Phil Silver’s Sgt. Bilko for blue ribbon obnoxiousness.

Eddie and Wally have been best friends since the second grade, which should qualify Wally for a purple heart, and definitely proves that even a rat can have a best friend. For, as they said about Errol Flynn, you could always count on Eddie - to let you down.

Eddie’s two trademarks are his unctuous politeness to adults and his weasly, sharp-tongued meanness to everybody else. He is a model white-collar delinquent, a creep who goads people into trouble rather than perpetrating the crime himself. He was a born shirker, not worker, and a strain on any parent, especially his own long-suffering mother and father, Agnes and George. Mary Ellen Roger’s father refers to him as an "over-stimulated adolescent"; but really, when it comes to Eddie, when you’ve said "creep," you’ve said it all.
