Favourite Sitcom Character

Lots of sitcoms and characters but if I had to pick my favourite I think it would have to be Fr Ted. Just such a hapless character the scene with the car and the hammer epitomises everything about him.

Hal & Lois complement each other brilliantly in Malcolm in the Middle her dancing lessons scene was great likewise Reese going feral.

Some characters like those in Friends & The Big Bang Theory can be quite annoying but other secondary characters in sitcoms go slightly under the radar like Roz in Frasier and the Grandad in Only Fools.

Sgt Hartman

Al Bundy is my favourite. A middle aged embittered crank with a dead end job in a shoe store, constantly insulting his customers and reminiscing about his high school football glory days. I know one or two people like that in real life.

There’s a few similarities between Ted,Del boy and Al but whereas the other two move on to the next drama that world weariness is a constant in Al’s world. It takes some time to unsee Al in Modern Family, Phil followed by Claire are the standouts for me.

He was also great as Arthur Spooner in King of Queens, similar character just less psychotic.
