I’ve heard “male Daria” a lot. Which I guess is pretty accurate since I’m pretty unflappable. I used to have a very scathing, sarcastic sense of humor as well. Most of that has withered away though, since most of it’s lost on my SO. Now I just make horribly lame puns, which she enjoys.
7th grade Home Ec teacher told me I reminded her of Alfalfa of the Lil’ Rascals. I still wonder about that to this day.
Friend(?) told me that I was just like the alcoholic woman on Desperate Housewives. I’m not a DW and I’m not an alcoholic, so again 
I think I’m like Kate from Kate and Allie (old 80s sitcom)–the Jane Curtin character anyway. Or perhaps a little bit like Myra off of Just Shoot Me or even Jamie from All About You. Or not–hard to say, really…
Another Daria here, at least personality wise in high school (looks-wise too, somewhat–long, brown, wavy hair and glasses. No skirts/boots though. Boots, yes; skirts, no). To the point where. . .I had this internet friend in France, with whom I’d exchanged a couple of pictures, and who I talked to a lot. He came to the US for a visit (not to visit me), and saw Daria while he was here. His comment?
“I saw this show, and the main character seemed just like you!”
. . .yeah, I had a great time in high school.
Personality-wise now, I’m probably more like George Lass from Dead Like Me. Which isn’t that much different. . .but different enough. Plus, she does the short skirt over jeans thing. And so do I. And I get called a freak for it.
I am Lisa Simpson.

I’ve frequently been called Giles, and even been honoured with it as a title (as in “you are my Giles!”). Apparently it’s the combination of being tall, bespectacled and motherly while randomly blurting facts on forteana and the occult.
And yes, one of my hobbies is cross-referencing.
ETA: Erm… I was going to add something but lost my train of thought. Nevermind.

Giles is motherly? ![]()
I’ve been called “Black Phoebe” more than once. Hmmm.
I don’t know, they don’t make too many TV shows about people who spend all their free time watching TV. Though I’m sure that’ll be on Fox’s fall schedule if the writers strike continues. “Up next on Fox, Luke Perry watches 24”
I’ve heard Eric Foreman in the past.
I’m a happily married with child Rhoda Morganstern.
10% Frasier Crane, 40% George Costanza, 49% Peter Griffin, and 1% Spongebob Squarepants.
One of my bosses told me that I’m a female version of Radar from MASH.
Another one of my bosses told me that I’m like **Glinda the Good Witch ** (I know, it’s not a TV show). But he didn’t know me when I was in my 20s, so he has not idea what he’s talking about.
I think I’m a little insecure and neurotic like Eliot from Scrubs, a bit of a grammar nerd like Lisa Simpson, and I’m a mom with a dirty sense of humor like Lois Griffin.
In other words, I’m a mess.
