I think mine is Howard Burleigh (Coach). Who could forget him and his friends dressed up as Dickens characters to go Christmas caroling? He went everywhere Hayden went, and everyone hid from them!!

He was so annoying, and later on his equally wimpy wife was added to the show. In a case of perfect casting, Shirley Burleigh was played by Georgia Engel!!

Cliff Clavin from Cheers. He was really a wimp when that guy came into the bar and he hated Cliff and his "know-it-all" attitude...however, Cliff finally stood up to the guy and really paid the price when Cliff hurt his head slamming it into those blocks.

Ralph Malph from Happy Days as well as Potsie Webber.

One of my all time favorite Cheers episodes.

Here's another classic TV wimp - Les Nessman from WKRP!!

We could probably add the hapless boss - Arthur Carlson. He never could stand up to his Mama.

Monroe would get my vote too. He is so underrated. All you had to do was listen at his voice and you laughed. Him and Ted Knight had a classic interaction. LOL

Ross from FRIENDS and also Chandler was a wimp also
