In your opinion, what are the top 10 most ICONIC TV characters of all time (non-animated). By iconic, I mean the most recognizable by the masses and the characters that made a huge impact on society as a whole.

Here's my list:

1. Batman/Bruce Wayne
2. Lucy Ricardo
3. Pee-wee Herman
4. Elvira Mistress of the Dark
5. Fonzie
6. Gilligan
7. Charlie's Angels (pretty much all of them--they come as a set)
8. ALF
9. Punky Brewster
10. Steve Urkel

I don't have 10, but three who I really enjoyed are Barney Miller and Jonathan and Jennifer Hart.
