Mr. Drysdale wasn’t the villain. _Mrs. Drysdale_ was.

Randall Flagg is a recurring persona in Stephen Kings books, though, most famous for the Stand, where he plays the main antagonist.  
Others:

**Ming the Merciless** from Flash Gordon.

**Galvatron** (Megatron’s new form) from Transformers Second Generation.

**Dr. Clayton Forrester** from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

**Murdoc** from MacGyver.

I’m with you–Dan’s more anti-hero than villain. Remember what he did when he finally got Christine in bed?

The real villain in “Night Court” was Dan’s boss, District Attorney Vincent Daniels.

Yeah, that’s him.

Oh! Just remembered another villain: Harry’s rival in the joke-off.

I concur with many of the above, **Eric Cartman** , **Lore** , **Zorak** , **Bob** , etc.

I’d also list **Stealth** from “Sifl & Olly”. While he was justified in being angry at Olly, it wasn’t right to smoke or use foul language on a children’s puppet show. It totally popped the creative bubble. 😃

Nobody has mentioned **Mr. Wizard** yet. He seemed very grumpy, and the fact that he’s still alive means some satanic evil! :eek:
