Who would you be?

I think I would be Jan Brady. Except as a boy.

You?

I don't know...who puts their foot in their mouth every five seconds, alienating anyone that's within hearing distance? That would be me.

Ooooh. Dr. Cox from Scrubs. That's ME!

I'd be the geeky/weird neighbor/friend. Like Boner on Growing Pains. But my name would not be Boner. How did they get away with that anyway? [Laugh]

I'd LOVE to be Hawkeye. My boss is a dead ringer for Colonel Potter, and I've laid claim to Hawkeye before, mostly because the boredom of staff meetings gets to me.

Jo from Facts of Life. Except asian. Not many asians on sitcoms. Didn't Margaret Cho have a sitcom for a while? Unfortunately, I think her humor was mostly based on being allowed to make fun of asian accents.

After carefully thinking about it, I've realized that I have yet to see a character like me on TV. I suppose someone else will just have to say for me, and see if I agree.

Nathan, you are definitely Hot Lips.

celia- That's exactly what I thought! Only not as drugged all the time. Or slutty. Or maybe you are. How should I know these things.

Hot lips? - No clue who that is.

Screech? - That may be as close as it comes. Sad.

Ralph Wiggum minus the funny? - What's sad is when I beat Jon at Scrabble, I really was singing "I beat the smart kids, I beat the smart kids."

Slutty? I thought she was just confident in her appearance. I mean, the only men she ever lets touch her are gay.

By the way, honey, that screen name is a big no. Now refresh my drink and don't spare the percoset.

Gee, Bambi, thanks for bringing to my attention the fact that I'm in the middle of a game that you and your little pre-pubescent friends are playing, which believe it or not kind reminds me of this dream I had where I was trapped in my own personal hell. Actually, you were there, and you were there, and YOU were there but it doesn't matter anymore because if I have to read anymore of these crack-baby threads I'm going to throw myself in front of a BART just so that I won't have to listen to your grating voices ALL DAY LONG, get it?
.

I need to point out to anyone who doesn't watch Scrubs that I am JOKING!

None of them are identical, fortunately. I have to go with a combination.

Appearance: the dad from Family Ties (later episodes, after the beard) but with glasses and a paunch.

Attitude: B. J. Hunnicutt. Laid back, very difficult to rile, prefers to stay on the sides of arguments and gently poke fun at everyone involved, annoyingly happy with his wife. Also the pun thing.

Finances: Dan Connor. Also some of the gut.

Parenting skills: Roseanne. "Go clean your room!"
"But it's clean!"
"Then go clean my room!"

Honey, I meant the "puts their foot in their mouth every five seconds, alienating anyone that's within hearing distance" part, not the Cox part. Hell, if you put that in your mouth more, I wouldn't have to listen to you blah, blah, blahing.

Rebecca Howe, Cheers, introduced late in the series.

Not that I particularly like Kristie Alley. Anyone seen those Pier 1 commercials? *shudder*

Rebecca Howe has one of my favorite lines of all time: "I'm TOO STUPID TO LIVE."

Sam: I never had a friend before.
Rebecca: Sam, you've had plenty of friends.
Sam: No, no. I've never had a friend before.

(conversation between Sam & Rebecca the day after they made love)

No question for me.

From a real conversation with a coworker around the late 1980s:

Her: I have to watch Rosanne tonight.

Me: I haven't gotten into it - why do you like it?

Her: I finally have a show where the main character is someone who has a life and a personality I can relate to!

Me: (nodding) OK. I can appreciate that. I feel the same way about my favorite show.

Her: What's that?

Me: ALF.
