Maynard's not a dork!!!!!! HE'S COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gilligan's just wacky!

LaverneShirley · 08-07-2000, 05:41 PM

Ugh! Toss-up between Squiggy and Gilligan! Most people don't think Squiggy's lovable, but I do! He's odd, yes, but he's... he's... I like him!

------------------
"Well, Laverne is sort of childish"

"Childish? Childish? COming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!"

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!"

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!"

I'd get along with Gilligan and Maynard!!
We would just talk, talk, talk, ramble, ramble,ramble!
Kind of what I'm doing now!

oooh, this is a toughie, so many good choices. First off, get to say the Paul Pheiffer from the wonder years deserves to be on the list of the best. that being said, I have a few personal favorites. First off, Arvid is a favorite. i don't know, he just seemed the most "real" of the dorks. Potsie was the coolest dork, if they all got together, he'd be the leader. Screech was up there for a long time, then hit "Saved By the Bell: the new class", and that all went to hell, although my intrest in screech did pick up with the SNL skit of Dustin Diamond on "Actors Studio". in the end, the best dork of all time in my opinion was probably Arvid, because he emodied everything a dork should be and more. I just wanna say, glad to see no "Urkel" votes, he gives TV dorks a bad name.

Matthew on NewsRadio.

silentbri · 08-14-2000, 11:44 AM

Ooh, forgot about Mathew (deftly played by Andy Dick)... he's great! I always envisioned him co-staring in a sit com with David Arquette (the 1-800-call-ATT guy), and the title of the show would be "Twitch Biscuits", which is a term that my sister and I came up with to describe people like that. Here's the premise of the show:

Andy and David are sort of twins seperated at birth, but not really. See, Andy was part of a set of twins that where born on the same day that David was born, and a nurse accidenatlly put Andy together with David, instead of with his real brother. Luckilly, before all the parents left the hospital, the mistake was caught and all the children where sent home with their proper parents. An article about the incident made it on to the news as a "And in other news..." segment, and even had a few newspaper articles written about it. Everything seemed fine, until one day...

Andy is grown up and living with his VERY straight-laced twin sister, Andrea. They are not *identical* twins, but they do look a lot alike (possibly get Ellen Degeneres to play Andrea?). Andy is basically the character of "Mathew" from News Radio... a real Twitch Biscuit. One day he goes in to a local fast food restaurant where David is working, and once they see eachother it's like they remember eachother. They start investigating, and find out that they where the children that where almost switched at birth! Since Andy's siter is a rich professional somethign or other (probably a lawyer or advertising executive... both can lead to funny situations), Andy invites David to move in to their huge apartment with them. Andrea doesn't like David right from the start, but allows him to live there becuase she will do anything for her brother. David, however, has a mad crush on Andrea. Andrea is just amazed at how absolutely the same that David and Andy act... many times they will actually mirror eachother, and exhibit certain twin-like behavior.

The show will look something like a cross between "Silver Spoons" and the movie "Dumb and Dumber".

So does anybody have an oppinion on my idea?

I'll have to say Gilligan, even though he's the most annoying person in the world and he would drive me nuts. By the way, Ross is not a dork... he's just really smart... and nice. He isn't annoying or anything, he's just unlucky.

LIsa Marie · 08-17-2000, 11:21 AM

I HAVE A WEIRD THING FOR TOM GREEN....HE'S SO WACKY AND NERDY...IN SCHOOL, I'VE ALWAYS DATED THE CLASS CLOWN SO I GUESS THAT'S WHY.

King_of_Kellogg · 08-17-2000, 08:31 PM

I'd have to put Gilligan as the all-time likable 'dork'. So likable, that maybe he WASN'T one afterall. Geez, he could've gotten with Ginger (or maybe even MaryAnn) if he wanted.

Arvid? I'm sorry, but he was just not a good example of one. 'Weakest TV-Nerd of All Time'. So what if he wore taped glasses - that don't mean nothin'. Had no personality that you could laugh at either. If anything, Arvid was LESS dorky than those SUPPOSEDLY 'cool' classmates of his - especially that 'rebel' dude with the leather jacket. Head of the Class-mates were no Sweathogs; that's for sure.

Bowser · 08-17-2000, 09:46 PM

How about Richie Cunningham? Hey, it's an interesting point.

"Hey there........Bucko!"
"Sit on it!!"
"Eye-love-EWE."

No wonder Arlene left him, changed her name to 'Cassiopia', and took off with Starbuck on-board the Gallactica.

LaverneShirley · 08-17-2000, 11:48 PM

Richie's not a dork! Well, maybe a little bit of a geek-nerd type person, but not a dork...
