Not characters that I wanted to be, but ones that I loved watching for every second they had on screen…

**Exidor** from _Mork & Mindy_ was a bizarre character. I mean, if Mork thought he was a bit weird, then he really was as spacy as they get.

**David Wooderson** in _Dazed and Confused_ (“All right, all right, all right”) is brilliant in his good-ole-boy creepiness.

So long ago that everyone has forgotten, but **Inspector Clouseau** was the product of a comic genius.

Spencer Reid. Smart, sexy and better to deal with people than Sheldon Cooper.

I thought I had posted Spike but apparently I posted too quickly. Easily number one for me.
