Most of my favorites are from 35+ years ago, since I haven't watched much TV entertainment since about 1972.

Gomez (John Astin) - The Addams Family

Jed Clampett (Buddy Ebsen) - The Beverly Hillbillies

Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith) and Deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) - The Andy Griffith Show

Captain Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry), Sgt Morgan O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker), Cpl Randolph Agarn (Larry Storch) - F Troop

Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), Chief (Edward Platt), Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), Hymie the Robot (Dick Gautier) - Get Smart

Gilligan (Bob Denver), Professor (Russell Russell Johnson), Skipper (Alan Hale), Mary Anne (Dawn Wells), Ginger (Tina Louise), Mr. and Mrs Howell (Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer) - Gilligan's Island

Oliver Wendell and Lisa Douglas (Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor), Eb Dawson (Tom Lester) - Green Acres

Hogan's Heros - whole cast

Jeannie (Barbara Eden), Maj Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), Maj Roger Healey (Bill Daily) - I Dream of Jeannie

Quinton McHale (Ernest Borgnine), Ensign Palmer (Tim Conway) - McHale's Navy

Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne) - The Munsters

Uncle Martin (Ray Walston) - My Favorite Martian

Petticoat Junction - whole cast


More modern stuff

Hawkeye, Trapper John McIntyre, B. J. Hunnicutt, Radar, Col Blake, Sherman T. Potter, Father Mulcahy (M*A*S*H)

Frasier, Niles, Martin and Daphne (from Frasier) are very enjoyable.

Coupling - Steve, Jeff and Patrick. The best line - "Results!" by Jeff.

I pretty much enjoy various characters of British comedy particularly that of the Monty Python crew, and Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder and Mr. Bean).

Hawkeye from M*A*S*H*

It may be old, but I think MASH was one of the best.
Seconded, on both counts.

Some days ago, I was digging through Youtube, hoping to find some clips from M*A*S*H episodes and ensconce myself in the nostalgia, but there were only a couple. =(

I did find a brilliant piece of Radar, playing drums though.



Incidentally, this is also the opening music for the BBC show Jeeves & Wooster (played by Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie) that ran in the early 90's. I don't know what the music is though!

Although it is an old sitcom, FRIENDS is the best sitcom I have ever watched and my favourite character is Joey. (How you doin?)
