Name TV characters who seemed clueless and not get the point most of the time ??

Well one character who didn't get it with sexual matters was Edith Bunker in All In The Family - despite that she was a woman who had a lot of emotional sensitivity. For example in ep #44 "The Bunkers and The Swingers" Edith answers an ad to meet new couples unaware it was an ad for wife swapping.
There was also another ep (can't recall ep name or #) where a man from the Gay Liberation Front and a woman from The Daughters Of Bilitis come to the door, and when Archie slams the door in their face Edith asks him why he did that. After three separate explanations she finally gets they were a gay man and a lesbian and does one of her famous "ooooohs", when she gets embarrassed and flustered because she was clueless about what was really going on.

Rose Nylund from The Golden Girls. She was just so naive and just didn't get it half the time, moreso when it came to the other girls.

Yeah, Rose is an excellent example; the quintessential naïf.
