Who had the best beard on a sitcom? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who do you think had the best beard on a sitcom?

Michael Gross (Steven Keaton) looked better and more distinguished with the beard.

I remember reading that Henry Winkler (Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli) vacationed one summer in Italy in 1980 when he grew a beard before shaving it off. He might have grown one other years as well.

Michael Lembeck (Max Horvath) had a beard on three seasons of One Day at a Time.

Richard Karn (Al Borland) on Home Improvement had a good one. I see him on many Top 10 TV beard lists.

Whitman Mayo (Grady Wilson) on Sanford and Son had a trademark scraggly beard.

Greg Evigan (Joey Harris) on My Two Dads had a solid beard and mullet.

It's not an official poll.

He had a very proper and neatly trimmed beard.

How about Lucy! When she was upset with Ricky for growing a mustache , she glued this fake beard on and couldn't get it off!!!

I second the Mr French vote.

There was also an episode of Dick VanDyke where he played a kinetoscope likeness of an earlier relative...doing the "me and my shadow" dance bit, that featured a nice stage prop beard .

I liked Goober Pyle's beard better that the Family Ties guy.
