Characters with no first name - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

treky · 03-02-2016, 02:50 AM

reading the thread about character with no last name gave me the idea for one about TV characters (sitcoms & dramas) with no first name:

Quincy on "QUINCY"

Palladin on "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL"

Gens. Barker and Hamilton on "MASH"

Mr. Haney on "GREEN ACRES"

His first name was Eustace and it was mentioned in at least one episode.

How about Mrs. Trumbull from I Love Lucy? They never called her by her first name. Was her first name ever mentioned?

In the Felix the Cat cartoons, there's a brainy character named Poindexter who always refers to Felix as "Mr. Felix."

That was Kramer. Newman was his postal worker friend. (He even gave someone his business card once, and it just said Newman.)

As Jerry would say with a disgusted look on his face and clenched teeth!!!

NEWMAN!!!!!!!

I'm not a fan of the Seinfeld show but the "NEWMAN" shtick and the Newman character (he was funny and goofy) was one of the funniest things about the show I thought!

Thanks treky, I was going to start a thread on this too but you beat me to it.

Also from MASH. I don't believe the recurring characters of Sergeant Zale and then later Sergeant Rizzo (who actually replaced Zale) were ever given first names. But I could be wrong, but I really don't remember first names being used for them.
