Since the implication, based on several of the questions, is that this feud focuses on the 50s, 60s, and 70s, I feel the need to point out that several of these characters, while indeed quite cool, did not arrive on the scene until at least the 80s: Sonny Crockett Zack Morris ALF Dr. House Eric Cartman Jack Bauer MacGuyver Magnum PI Sam Malone Spike (from BTVS) ---

**anyrose** , in my defense, the question said: “4. Name a TV character cooler than the Fonz.” There was no mention of era. Also, while I have heard of Classic Coke and Classic Cars and even Classic Rock, I have never run across the term “classic television”; while 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s shows were referenced in most questions, the annoting cartoon character one said ever. There really wasn’t anything suggesting to me all that much that it had to be a pre-1980 TV character. Besides, Spike is cooler than anybody. **mmmm… Spike…sigh** ---

Yes, the Fonz was cool, but he was not the coolest person to ever grace a televisionscreen. i mean the guy is the actual definition of “jumped the shark”.
