Romantic: Mary Ann from _Gilligan’s Island_. “No, honey, let’s skip the three-hour tour and head to the hotel’s beach luau instead.” Platonic: I was tempted to say Angela Lansbury from _Murder She Wrote_, since she’d never be home to bug me because she would be running all over the country sticking her nose into other folks’ business. But I finally decided to go with Xander from _Buffy_. He hangs out with some amazing women. 😃 ---

> [@elfkin477](#): > > For a platonic roommate, I’d pick Abby Lockheart(Maura Tierney). She seems like she’d pay the rent on time, would be good in the case of an accident, and would be so wrapped up in her various long-term romantic entanglements that I wouldn’t worry about finding strange guys in our apartment every other week. Yeah, but what if her mother visits? :eek: ---

Platonic–Fred from **Angel**. She’s cute and sweet and smart and strong and I like her sense of humor. Romantic–Well I was going to go with one of the vampires, but, I don’t know. They’d keep weird hours and store their blood in my fridge, so I’m going to go with Wesley from **Angel**. I could just cuddle that man. ---

Romantic: Dan Rydell off _SportsNight_. Platonic: Lindsay Bluth from _Arrested Development_. I’d mack on Michael when he came over to visit, and in the meanwhile, borrow all of Lindsay’s clothes. 🙂 ---

> [@Tracy Lord](#): > > Platonic: Lindsay Bluth from _Arrested Development_. I’d mack on Michael when he came over to visit, and in the meanwhile, borrow all of Lindsay’s clothes. 🙂 I was wondering if someone would come up with one of the Bluths! Since you took Lindsay (sucker!), I’ll just grab Michael myself. Platonic or romantic, it would be fine. And I’d enjoy having George Michael around, too. They’d just have to warn me in advance if any of their relatives were going to come by. And I wouldn’t lend any of them a dime. ---

> [@InternetLegend](#): > > They’d just have to warn me in advance if any of their relatives were going to come by. And I wouldn’t lend any of them a dime. Ha! No joke, that! I was going to say Michael, but I have the feeling he’d drive me up the wall with his – shall we say, rigidity? (Er…on second thought, maybe I _would_ like to have him around. 😉 ) ---

To take in a Bluth, you’d have to be rich. Because you know their half of the rent is never going to get paid. But I’d definitely hurt myself laughing if I had GOB around. (It’s not really fair of **Tracy** to take Lindsay when she doesn’t even _want_ her… grumble…) ---

I’ll ignore any romantic speculation, as my husband is in the room. :rolleyes: The Foreman household (from That 70’s Show) would be kinda cool. Room with Hyde and have Kitty to clean the place. Dealing with Jackie would be a downside though. > [@](#): > > **wolfman** I’ll go with a classic and take Jeannie, assuming all powers present. Wolfman, you can have Jeannie if I can have Sam! They both have the groovy powers, but Bewitched’s Samantha is just so much more relaxed. And you can send her off to a movie or something occasionally, unlike Jeannie who is _always_ hanging around the house. ---

Platonic: Jack from 24. He’s never home. Too busy getting imprisoned and tortured and chasing bad guys. And even if he brought home some annoying girl? You know she’d be dead within the year. Romantic: Sayid from Lost. Because he’s the hottest hottie who ever hotted. Oh and he’s kinda smart, too. And hot. Did I mention hot? ---

Romantic: Abbie Carmichael from Law & Order. I used to tell everybody that I was gonna marry her. I just love her voice. Nobody can convince me she wouldn’t go for a girl. Platonic: Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: TNG. ---

I’d have to take both Pats and Eddie from AbFab. The place would be in shambles but we’d always have plenty of Bolli and drugs to play with. 😃 ---

Seth Bullock from _Deadwood_. It’d be extra sweet if his right hand could be swollen and red from giving my nemesis a beating. (sigh) ---

Yeah but Jeannie’s wardrobe is much hotter; and in my house navel revealing harem pants would not only be allowed they would be required. 😉 ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > Romantic ‘move in’:Damn, this is a toughie. I’d like to pick Rachel’s sister from friends (Because she would have the looks of Reese Witherspoon), but she was a total bitch… Oh no no no…Rachel HERSELF…c’mon…hubba hubba hubba 😃 and can be really sweet too.And all those credit cards available… Or Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched…Something so cute about her and she can keep a damned tidy home…and that nose-twitching always gets me 😃 ---

I will go ahead and finally chime in with my own choice. I’ll take Sam Beckett from **Quantum Leap** (Non-romantic). He’s a great guy, funny and smart, not going to be home to mess stuff up too much, and takes same damn cool vacations via time travel. Who knows, maybe I would get invited to go along. Romantic: Nobody. I already have the best! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-tv-character-would-you-most-like-to-move-in-with-you/293122.md?page=2)
