I was watching a 1st season episode of Leave it to Beaver today that had Clarence 'Lumpy' Rutherford being a bully toward Wally and Theodore yet later on Wally and Lumpy became friends. What characters from other shows started out this way?

Stephanie and whatever that girl's name was on Full House. She was a huge bully and berated Stephanie, but they hashed out their differences and became friends. And then they tried to set up their parents together.

I guess you could say Steve and Laura on Family Matters, though they were never "enemies".

Lindsay and Kim on Freaks and Geeks started out not liking each other at all, but then soon became friends.

So that would make all those characters "Frienemies"....a word coined for friends that are also enemies.....lol...

Zack and Slater on "Saved by the Bell". In the first season, they were fighting over Kelly. Once she chose Zack and Slater started dating Jessie, Zack and Slater became best friends.

In a way, Captain Stottlemeyer and Adrian Monk on "Monk." They were friends in the beginning, however, Stottlemeyer was kind of a jerk towards Monk early on. But as the show progressed he got a lot nicer toward Monk.

On "Space Cases" Harlan Band hated Radu, simply because of his race. By the end of the show, they were buds.

Here's another example of "frienemies" - Detectives Harris & Dietrich on Barney Miller. Even though Harris often couldn't stand Dietrich, the two were really each other's best friend. They even became roommates later on in the series run.
