Excuse my naivity (sp), but what are you talking about?

[Fearless Freep]

Your profile signature has a whole bunch of "--------".

Depending on a person's screen resolution and browser setup, it forces the posts to be wider than the browser width.  It makes everyone's posts leak out of view to the right side.

The posts themselves normally wordwrap so it doesn't matter what someone puts on a  line.  But the signatures do not wrap so a wide signature will affect all the post displays

oh, my bad.

Bill O'Reilly!

He is arrogant, cocky; and I just want to punch him in the face EVERYTIME I hear his voice or see him on my televison.

Characters that I was surprised to see on this list that I like (going backwards like the list itself) -

48. Janet Wood (Three's Company)
I might like Suzanne Sommers as an actress, but I liked Janet much more than Chrissy.

42. Edna Garrett (The Facts of Life)
Mr. Garrett was a fair minded and responsible adult friend for teens. If only more adults could be like this wonderful character.

40. Harry T. Stone (Night Court)
Good old Harry. Fair minded judge, big Mel Torme fan, all around good guy.

47. Dwayne Wayne (A Different World)
The first season of ADW was the best, and Dwayne Wayne was just too goofy.

b39. Twiki (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century)
Watching reruns of Buck Rogers now, Twiki is some good comic relief on an already semi-goofy show.

36. Capt. Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce (M*A*S*H)
Hawkeye is on this list and not Frank? What is this world coming too!

35. Orville "Rick" Wright (Magnum P.I.)
I always thought Rick was goofy, but loveable.

34. Flo Castleberry (Alice)
I haven't seen a rerun of Alice in over 15 years, but I remember Flo as one of my favorites on the show.

29. Danny Partridge (Partridge Family)
This is probably how I learned to be smartass. Thanks, Danny!

27. Dr. Frasier Crane (Frasier)
Now I haven't been a regular viewer of Frasier (the show), but Frasier was my favorite character on Cheers, next to Coach.

22. Templeton "Face" Peck (A-Team)
Dirk Benedict kicks ass!

16. Ernestine the Operator (Rowan & Martin Laugh-In)
Ernestine is one of my favorite characters of Lily Tomlin. I've even seen younger kids imitate Ernestine!

12. Buddy Lembeck (Charles in Charge)
Yes, the wiseass version of Buddy was great.

11. Thelma Harper (Mama's Family)
Vicki Lawrence's quitessential character - she was even playing Mama on 'The Carol Burnett Show' !

8. Elvin Tibideaux (The Cosby Show)
Elvin was such a great character to goof on when he was first on the show, and it was great to see him grow as a person as time went on. His parents were cool too.

5. Jan Brady (The Brady Bunch)
I am a middle child like Jan, so I related to her. I don't know why she was always going around saying 'Marcia, Marcia, Marcia' or doing silly things like wearing that black wig or using lemon juice to get rid of her freckles. She had her own good qualities.

2. Diane Chambers (Cheers)
Oh Diane. She was so fun to goof on I don't think I could ever hate her.

I guess it was because of his holier-than-thou attitude.  Watching the show now, it amazes me how much he was sexually harassing the women.

I think it's those contradictions that made him such a great character. The guy was half-way manic, on his way to becoming a drunk, a womanizer, among other things. But he always had his medical prowess and open-mindedness to fall back on. It was so perfect for the writers to create characters like B.J. and Charles as a contrast to Hawkeye, because even though I thought Trapper John and Frank were great, Trapper was too much like Hawkeye, and it just was too easy to goof on Frank because he was a moronic idiot.

I hated what they did with Frank's character.  All the others were allowed to grow & be more complex, but because he was the pro-war, establishment type, he was just a caricature.

[Great Sage]

If I made a list, it would be identical to BlackAngel's.

The film version of Frank (as portrayed by Robert Duvall) was different on some respects as he was a religious zealot. But as for the tv Frank he was a bad doctor and surgeon. That's where Charles was different.

[Flangepart]

Frank Burns was a caraciture, Winchester was a real, complex person. Nuff said.
