One of Top 24 American Idol contestants this season is a guy named Alex Lambert, which was the name of one of the ladies on Wings.

Back when I was in college, there was a professor named Dr. Richard Kimble, who was The Fugitive.

When I worked at the grocery store, there was a regular customer of mine named Susan Lewis, like the doctor on ER. She actually started watching the show because people told her she had the same name

There was a player in the NFL a few years ago named Charlie Brown. He played for the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons.

One of my friends' last name is Scott and his dad's name is Dan Scott which is a character on One Tree Hill.

Interestingly, one of the Ohio Supreme Court Justices is none other than Paul Pfeiffer! (Oops, he only spells his last name with one "F" in the last syllable! http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/SCO...r/default.aspx Still, it's pronounced in the same way as Kevin's best friend!)

I saw a Mary Richards in the obituary section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the other day.

I work with a guy by the name of Dick Clark, like the gameshow host.

For a while I worked with a man named Howard Cunningham, just like "Mr. C" on Happy Days!

In the second season of Bewitched, in the episode "The Magic Cabin", Darrin mentioned to Samantha the name of his insurance agent, Fred Hinkle. Fred Hinkle happens to be the name of my maternal grandfather. Sadly, he died 5 years before I was born.

I would've loved to know him.
