  2. Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men
2830
  1. Roz from Fraiser
  2. Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men
  3. Sue Ann Nivens from The Mary Tyler Moore Show

They had to reference it slyly then, but she had an affair with Phyllis’ husband, which was pretty hot-to-handle in the early 70s.

Come to think of it, the show was open about the fact that Mary used birth control, and sex was the single thing Rhoda thought she did better than Mary. It really was pretty racy for the time.

  4. Howard Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory
  5. Larry Dallas from Three’s Company
  6. Blanche Devereaux from Golden Girls

and with regards to #1, neither Roz nor Frasier seemed to be particularly lacking for companionship of the opposite sex.

  7. Penny from The Big Bang Theory
  8. Sam from Cheers

Is Howard Wolowitz actually promiscuous? I just thought he was just always horny.

2836

Howard has promiscuous intentions-- he pretty much never turns down a chance for sex (before Bernadette, anyway). Those chances may have been fewer than he’d wished, or than most people associate with the idea of promiscuity, but I think part of the definition of it is being indiscriminate of your partners, and Howard certainly did think of women as interchangeable in regard to their availability as sex partners.

2837

Yes watching my way through Frasier, and every other episode seems to start with the observation that Fraiser’s love life is “going through a dry spell” ignoring the fact that he had sex just two episodes ago. That is why I specified its being a running gag. If it was just about which characters actually are promiscuous you’d have to include half of television.

He talks a lot of having sexual encounters. Whether they’re true or just talk is left to the viewer.

Running gags in TV shows

  1. Wilson, the partially hidden neighbor from Home Improvement

The cast did a “curtain call” at the end of the show, with Wilson coming out with a fence mask in front of his face.
