Adamantium · 04-27-2003, 11:58 PM

If I missed your favorite, feel free to add him or her. Here's a list of the choices that I could think of.

Peter Tork (The Monkees)
Coach Ernie Pantusso (Cheers)
Woody Boyd (Cheers)
Lowell Mather (Wings)
Matthew Brock (NewsRadio)
Tony Banta (Taxi)
Chrissy Snow (Three's Company)
Joey (Friends)
Waldo Faldo (Family Matters)
Cody Lambert (Step by Step)

I'm sure there are more. These are all my mind could come up with currently.

I agree with those, and I add Homer Simpson and Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons and Reverend Jim from Taxi to the list.

My favorite would be Coach Pantusso on Cheers. He was just so loyal and lovable. He and Sam had a nice relationship.

I also like Dauber on Coach. He's got that dummy with a heart thing going on. He has some hilarious one-liners.

Also on Coach, I don't know if Luther Van Dam qualifies as a dummy, but he is laugh out loud funny sometimes.

Peter Tork from the Monkees.

AtlantaBravesFan29 · 04-28-2003, 09:08 AM

Lamont from Sanford and Son,of course. Fred always called him Dummy.

Sal · 04-28-2003, 10:39 AM

How about these guys? They practically invented the concept!

Gomer Pyle
Gilligan
Hank Kimball ("Green Acres")
Jethro Bodine ("Beverly Hillbillies")
Barney Fife ("Andy Griffith")
Ed Norton ("Honeymooners")
Lumpy Rutherford ("Leave It To Beaver")
Maynard G Krebs ("Dobie Gillis")
Barney Rubble ("Flintstones")
Maxwell Smart ("Get Smart")

All these guys are great at it, yet without a doubt, the dumbest TV character of all time has to be Big Bird from "Sesame Street". He's been on that show since the beginning, almost 35 years, and he STILL doesn't know the alphabet! How much dumber can you get?

You're right. I forgot about them, I was just in a hurry to start a new thread, I really just listed off the first few in my head.

tvfan 2 · 04-28-2003, 07:40 PM

Waldo ( Family Matters)
Grady (sanford and son )
Bull ( Nightcourt )
Skippy (Family Ties)

Impressions · 04-28-2003, 07:41 PM

I think you should add these characters to your list:

Ted Baxter (The Mary Tyler Moore Show)
Nick Moore (Family Ties)
Arnold Horshack (Welcome Back, Kotter)

LucyFan · 04-28-2003, 07:45 PM
