I borrow this from Archie Goodwin. But say you are in said tree. Man eating tigers circling, beavers chewing tree. You get one TV character, one who when you see him or her, you know you are saved. Saul Panzer is busy doing Warehouse 13. sorry.
No superheroes. Must be moderately realistic. TV realistic. No Arrow, etc.
I say Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
what say you?
I’ll assume that the rules in the OP exclude The Doctor…so I’ll go with Angus MacGyver.
Tarzan may not qualify, so I’ll go with anyone carrying a gun. Not a bad guy with a gun though, they can’t hit anyone. Marshall Dillon maybe, or the Rifleman.
Sam Axe.
Sully from Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Chief Ironside would be good.
I don’t have to outrun the tigers …
The Rat Patrol with their machine-gun jeeps. Or any single one of them, with a Tommy-Gun.
TriPolar’s suggestion of Marshall Dillon or The Rifleman is very good.
Has the great Shikari, Sebastian Moran, been a TV character?
Napoleon Solo or Illya Kuryakin, with either the U.N.C.L.E. carbine or the THRUSH rifle. Maybe the latter, 'cause Illya’s wittier to chat with later, and the rifle has a night-sight scope.
Two words:
CHUCK NORRIS.
Thank you. You are a wise colleague.
/Thread closed.
Lassie. She never lost a fight with another animal.
Justin Wilson
Steve Irwin.
MacGyver.
Why aren’t the tigers eating the beavers? Sounds like a problem that would take care of itself.
Just who I was going to take. Jack Hanna would work also.
Not a TV character.
A wizard did it. Go with the flow, dude.
I want to change my answer to Davy Crockett.
He was a TV character and a real guy!
Elly May Clampett
She’d turn them all into pets.
Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods. He’d turn them all into snacks.
yes, I know: not a fictional character.
Well, since the man is eating the circling tigers, and the tree only chews beavers and not people, it sounds to me like I should be able to escape on my own.
