The most lovable unlikable characters - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What characters do you love anyway, even though you know they're supposed to be complete jerks?

I know Major Winchester from M*A*S*H is supposed to be an arrogant, unlikable snob, but I just find him so lovable. He's one of my favorite M*A*S*H characters.

Roy from Wings, Dr. Cox from Scrubs, and Bill from NewsRadio are also unlikable lovable characters, IMHO.

And how can I forget Louie DePalma?

I vote Dan Fielding...who, ironically, fits that same description.

Dan Fielding of Night Court. Hands down.

Edit: Episode 95, Another Day in the Life was on TVLand and John Larroquette had me rolling! Easy to see why he won so many Emmys for the role (4).

James · 10-23-2005, 08:23 PM

I can only think of two at the moment:

Wayne Arnold - The Wonder Years
Eddie Haskell - Leave It To Beaver

Angelique 2 · 10-23-2005, 11:24 PM

Louie De Palma on Taxi
and of course Dan Fielding
Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers.

You know, OTH wouldn't quite be OTH if it weren't for ol' Danny boy!

Also, Julie Cooper Nichol on The OC

Louie de Palma. He's so horrible, but at the same time, kind of likeable in his own way. I recently watched the episode where his mother moved out into a rest home, and felt sorry for him, because he really missed her.
