Default Who's Your Buddy?

What sit-com character would you like to hang around with, and why? Not the ACTOR/ACTRESS, but the ACTUAL CHARACTER? For a long time I thought it would have been Gilligan, but recently I have come to realize that he would really tick me off, always ruining every attempt at a rescue. As i get older, i find myself drawn to characters like Johnny Fever. How about you?

Thinking off the top of my head, it would probably be The Fonz.

What's wrong with Gilligan? I love the guy! (Or haven't you noticed from the photo on the left?) In fact, he reminds me of me! I think we'd get along great! Other folks that I would feel drawn to and wouldn't mind having for friends, some for obviously different reasons than others:

MEN

---Richie, Potsie, Ralph, and Fonzie ("Happy Days")

---The Sweathogs ("Welcome Back Kotter")

---The Douglas boys: Mike, Robbie, Chip, and Ernie ("My Three Sons")

---Mr. Kimball and Eb ("Green Acres")

---Gomer Pyle ("Gomer Pyle USMC")

---Peter Tork ("The Monkees")

---Wally and the Beaver ("Leave It To Beaver")

---Rob Petrie ("The Dick Van Dyke Show")

---Herman Munster ("The Munsters")

---Jody Davis ("Family Affair")

---Malcolm ("Malcolm In The Middle")

---Peter Brady ("The Brady Bunch")

---Alex and Skippy ("Family Ties")

---Uncle Arthur ("Bewitched")

WOMEN

---Hope and Faith

---Laverne and Shirley

---The Bradley girls ("Petticoat Junction")

---Katie and Polly ("My Three Sons")

---Laura Petrie ("The Dick Van Dyke Show")

---Laurie Partridge ("The Partridge Family")

---Marcia and Jan Brady ("The Brady Bunch")

---Phoebe Buffay ("Friends") and her sister Ursula ("Mad About You")

---Sister Bertrille ("The Flying Nun")

---Samantha Stephens ("Bewitched")

---Jeannie ("I Dream Of Jeannie")

---Mary Ann ("Gilligan's Island")


What can I say? I simply adore these people!
