What sitcom characters (for some odd reason) were never given a last name?

Thelma Lou The Andy Griffith Show

By the way, not including super-natural characters such as on Bewitched, My Favorite Martian, I Dream of Jeannie etc.

A few of those do have last names.
Warren's is Ferguson.
Festus' is Haggen.
Rerun's is Stubbs (Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs).
Gilligan, from my understanding IS his last name. Schwartz once said if he had to have a first name it was probably Willie.

Holly (Holly Fulger) on Ellen. She was only in the first season but in all thirteen episodes they never said her last name.

Malcolm and his family from Malcolm In The Middle. They had a name originally (I'm sure somebody out there knows it

) but it was decided prior to the premier not to use it and to delete any references already made to it.

Newman from Seinfeld? Not sure if he has a last name or not!

noveel · 06-30-2011, 05:17 AM

Beavis and Butt-Head (although "Head" might have been Butt-Head's surname)

Was "Newman" his first name or last name?

Newman was his last name but he had no first name

Endora, Aunt Clara, Uncle Arthur, Maurice, and Cousin Serena on 'Bewitched'. When Darrin first met Endora, he asked her what her last name was, and she told him that he would never be able to pronounce it. So we never found out what Sam's relatives last names were.

It's not a sitcom,But Arnold on Hey! Arnold had No Last Name.

Malcolm's family's last name was supposed to be Wilkerson, and I don't know why the producers dropped it so suddenly.
