Red on “That 70s Show” and Frank on “Everybody Loves Raymond.” Also Rudy from “The Cosby Show.”

My husband and I sort of remind me of Carrie and Doug on King of Queens. We don’t look like them, but we sort of sound like them and he’s blue collar, I’m low level white collar.

Oh yeah, Dante from ‘Clerks’. (Yes, it was, they only showed two eps but dammit, it was real!)

Noticing a disturbing trend here… :eek:

Don’t sweat it, **Missy**. I’m a guy, and the character I identify with most is Delenn from _Babylon 5_ (a female alien, if you’re not familiar with the show). Garibaldi runs a close second. Now that’s a messed-up combo.

Take Chandler Bing’s basic personality, throw in Frasier Crane’s self image and combine it with Oscar Madison’s sense of style.

I’ve had 4 or 5 people say I remind them of Dharma, from Dharma and Greg.  
I’m tall, but long brunette hair… so I have a feeling they are just politely telling me… “im out there”

I’m a cross between the mum on ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ and Roseanne, with a bit of the optimism of Lisa Simpson chucked in for good measure.

Yeah, I’m a psycho. What’s YOUR problem?? 😛

Everybody says I look like Keanu Reeves. It gets annoying. It starts to remind me of that guy in the movie Office Space… “You must love Michael Bolton… I bet you’ve got all his songs!..”

Do I look like him? Judge for yourself:
