OT Who is your Best all time Sitcom character

[Petert]

TAXI had Danny Devito as the dispatcher, Christopher Lloyd as the drug addled Jim Ignatowski and don't forget Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravas. I think Reverend Jim Ignatowski gets the nod as my all time favorite.

Yeah, I gotta agree about Jim Ignatowski. Christopher Lloyd’s best work.

Harry Morgan as Col. Sherman T. Potter in M.A.S.H.

Yeah, I like him in MASH and Dragnet, so I looked him up....He appeared in The Ox-Bow Incident in 1943 with Henry Fonda, High Noon in 1952 with Gary Cooper, The Glenn Miller Story in 1954 with Jimmy Stewart and Inherit The Wind in 1960 with Spencer Tracy so he's got some credits... died at 96 and he wasn't an original character on the show... But he also had an aura of maintaining his cool around a legion of misfits, malcontents, whiners, and weasels...and since you played a military commander in South Pacific... I can see why you might relate to the guy.... would have been a good part for you to play had you decided to go full time into acting rather than teaching...

Thanks, AT. You are one of the few that has seen me act. It was a lot of fun. The character in South Pacific that I played was Captain Brackett and was based on Russ Brown's version. Had a lot of old WWII guys come up to me after the play and tell me I acted exactly like their commanding officer! Pretty cool!

Russ Brown did two musicals in 1958. South Pacific and one and the other was Damn Yankees. A lot of the guys at the Auburn Dinner Theater wanted to do that play, but we never had the chance. Watch this and you'll understand why.

And this sounds eerily similar to a team we all know and love:

"The 1958 Washington Senators won 61 games, lost 93, and finished in eighth place in the American League, 31 games behind the New York Yankees."

Noah Beery Jr. the Rockford Files...special mention Stuart Margolin...James Gardner for that matter...

Loved Taxi.

Sidenote- One of my favorite series growing up was Wings.

One time I was watching an episode of Wings and it hit me that Wings was basically the same as Taxi. Episodes even had similarities.

I thought it all made perfect sense when I saw who was Executive Producer of Wings until I looked up his picture.. Maybe its the Taxi Christopher Lloyds son..

I've liked most all that have been brought uo.
Loved MASH and Hawkeye Pierce, of course.
That 70's Show is hilarious, Debra Jo Rupp and Kirtwood Smith as Kitty and Red Forman, whose usual insult is "dumbass" is hysterical.
