Television Sidekicks  email this discussion to a friend?

GenevaC08 (50) 4 years ago

Through the years, there have been some amazing pairings in television, whether in comedy shows or dramas. I wonder who some of everyone's favorite television sidekicks are.

This discussion idea is a spinoff of a thought I had in another discussion, about Goran and Eames, the detectives on Criminal Intent. They are one of my favorite pairs. I love how he knows absolutely everything, no matter how obscure and the way she looks at him in response.

For comedy, Lucy & Ricky, Sonny and Cher! Who all can you think of?

Barney Fife is the best sidekick ever.

Fred and Ethel were the best side kicks ever on tv. I think at times that Ethel is funnier than Lucy. It is hard to believe that Fred is so tight with his money and yet he is such a great landlord to them.


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

I know! You're right, he was. Fred's stinginess was a great running joke.

My favorites were Lenny and Squiggy from the 'Laverne and Shirley' show. No matter how hard you rooted for them, they still were the underdogs.


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

Those two really annoyed me, for some reason, but I know a lot of people who really liked them.

I think the best sidekicks ever were all of the gang on the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway especially.. what a riot that man is! Apparently he had his own show at one time, but it just wasn't the same without his gang... especially with Harvey Korman. lmao!

I used to have a major crush on "Skippy" on "Family Ties". I think that's where my love of nerdy geeks with dark hair stems from. lmao.


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

I love all those people too! I have a set of tapes of six of the Carol Burnett shows. I'm sure I'll take them out and watch them a lot. I have to leave a little time in between. You're right, Tim Conway was hilarious.

I'm liking the show of Jason Lee but I haven't had the time to watch it lately. My Name is Earl is one of my favorite tv series as of late, I like the storyline and theme of it. The tandem of Earl and his brother, Randy, is pretty impressive to me.

I'm not sure if this counts, but I also like KITT and Michael Knight's team-up from the Knight Rider series..

i like My name is Earl too. its quirky. are you really watching Knight Rider?? hehe. i kinda like that show but at some point it gets boring. sorry.


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

I think "My Name is Earl" is a great show. Another one I miss because I watch something else at the same time. I record some things, but then there is never enough time to watch everything.

I used to watch the old "Knight Rider" with David Hasselhoff. My son loved it, so I could use him as an excuse, but really I got a kick out of. It was fun, I loved the dialog between he and the car.

i've been watching burn notice and its totally a crazy and entertaining spy series. my choice for television sidekick would be ex-spy Sam( forgot his last name).


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

I haven't seen Burn Notice. I'll have to give it a look. Is it on now or on hiatus?

yes, i agree with bobby goran and alexandria eames two of my favorites and they are so good together from law and order criminal intent.


GenevaC08 (50)  4 years ago

Goran's personality is so complex. . .I guess anyone's would be if they grew up with a schizophrenic mother. But he knows so much, the character never ceases to amaze me!

Wow... there are so many lovable sidekicks out there... but my favorite is Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer... she is the ever loyal witch bestfriend of Buffy...

I was actually wondering why the producers did not make a spinoff series with Willow as the lead... she has such a large fan base... well i am still hoping that they will... i would certainly watch it religiously...
