If one _were_ to pick Mr. Dooper, would it imply they were a necrophiliac? ---

It was Mr. **H** ooper, not Looper. I think I have to go with none of the above - the show wasn’t known for being full of lookers. ---

I only know the first (I assume) Gordon. I was going to say Bob but Gordon is sounding better and better the more I think about him. ---

Well, I was going to throw my vote in for Steve from Blue’s Clues, but the first and second Gordons are not bad looking, in that '70s sort of way. So . . . Gordon #2.
