TV character you would like for a sibling? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm the oldest of three and I think I would've enjoyed having a big brother.

Sitcom - Richie Cunningham (Happy Days). Even though he often teased Joanie, he was still very protective and loving towards his little sister.

Drama - Willie Lawrence (Family). One of the best aspects of this very fine program was how close Willie was to his little sister Buddy. Loved it!!

Sitcom- Wally (Leave It To Beaver) he would be a good brother to look up to, he looked out for Beaver. For a sister I'd pick Tabitha, she would turn bullies into dogs LOL.

Sci-fi- Penny Robinson (Lost In Space) She was likeable ane would be there for you.

Wally Cleaver is probably the best there was.

I agree about Willie Lawrence, and I think Matt Camden did a good job too.

Yes, Wally was very cool too.

Laurie Partridge from The Partridge Family, I always wanted an older sister and she would have made a pretty cool one.

Sal · 05-11-2007, 11:12 AM

For brothers, I would want Wally Cleaver, Richie Cunningham, Jody Davis ("Family Affair") and both Chip and Ernie Douglas from My Three Sons.

For sisters, I would want Jan Brady, Laurie Partridge, and both Bobbie Jo and Betty Jo Bradley from Petticoat Junction.

I would love if Frasier was my older brother, always giving out bad, unwanted advice.

dav4463 · 05-12-2007, 12:22 AM

Definitely Wally. The perfect son. Athletic, smart, girls liked him, protective of little brother, polite, knew the social graces,....respectful to parents and elders, but definitely not a nerd!

MikeLutton · 05-12-2007, 07:35 PM

Fonzie as my oldest brother.he be soo cool.

paisleynut · 05-19-2007, 09:24 PM

I wouldn't mind having Eddie Corbett for a brother, but in real life Brandon Cruz, who played him, is only 5 1/2 months older than I am.

Always A Brandon Cruz Fan,

For Brothers: Bud Anderson, Wally Cleaver, Alex Keaton, Robbie Douglas, Fonzi, and Richie Cunningham

For Sisters: Betty Anderson, Kathy Anderson, Blair Warner, Carol Seaver, Al Lambert, and Joanie Cunningham

Gemini_89 · 03-28-2016, 06:41 PM

For a brother: Zack Morris. He would be fun and cool without being intimidating.

For sisters: Lisa Turtle and Kelly Kapowski. Lisa beause she can help me with my appearance and Kelly because she would sacrifice herself and do anything for her siblings.

for a sister: probably Colleen McMurphy a few years after her duty at China Beach 1970 in Lawrence Kansas id be trying to give her as much help as i could because she was so unhappy and lost after her tour of duty another one would be Laurette Barber the singer with the USO or Hang the Vietnamese girl(she would be playing her guitar and singing folk songs at the "Jet Set" club while Laurette would be singing rock music at another club while McMurphy would be a nursing student)
brother: i don't know maybe Boonwell "Boonie" Lanier since he would be the manager at the "Jet Set"
