Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

When I usually make these kinds of lists, I just list the top favorites that come to my mind but I'm doing this list different. I took 2 days and wrote down all my favorite male sitcom characters, then I eliminated them one by one until I got ten. Then I sorted them in the absolute order of my favorites and the results are below...these may not be the "best" male sitcom characters but they're my favorites.

1. Archie Bunker (All in the Family)
2. Jack Tripper (Three's Company)
3. Fred Ziffel (Petticoat Junction & Green Acres)
4. George Jefferson (The Jeffersons)
5. Sam Drucker (Petticoat Junction & Green Acres)
