Best Dressed Sitcom Character - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Is there a certain sitcom character from one of your favorite shows that you get a kick out on how they dress or their style?

I loved Jan'et Du Bois clothes when she played Willona on the first three seasons of Good Times; everything she put on was HIP for that time period (the mid-70's) from the funky wigs to the her shoes...

For men it is a tie between Ron Glass when he played Sgt. Harris for eight seasons on Barney Miller; even with a large fro and plaid suits, this brother still looked sharped..My second favorite is Tim Reid when he played Venus Flytrap on WKRP in Cincinnati...He was just fly and outrageous....

I love Rachel Greens wardrobe on FRIENDS. If I was a size 0 that's how I would dress

The Ladies from "Girlfriends"
Jamine Guy
Aunt Esther (yes I thought she was classy in her church lady wear)
June Cleaver
Claire Huxtable
Murphy Brown

I think the character of Stevie on I'm With Her, played by Danny Comden, dresses way cool. It's like upscale thrift store. His shirts are awesome!

Jack, Chrissy, and Janet were really well dressed.

I'd have to go with Ward and June Cleaver! They could be doing yard work and still be dressed up enough to go out on the town!
