I believe it is available on Prime Streaming. Very funny, very British, very entertaining.

The Vicar of Dibley is streaming on Prime.

To me there there are many but the one who stands out the most is Carroll O’Connor as Archie Bunker

Why would you want that info?

Love the cast of Boston Legal, especially James Spader.

Second vote for Third Rock from the Sun. Also Niles in Frazier.

Andy Kaufman (aka Latka) on Taxi.
Arte Johnson (the German soldier, the dirty, old man on the park bench with Ruth Buzzi) on Laugh-in.

Can't you guess?

For our secret government profile, of course. Such fun!

I'm not sure who my all time favorite character is...but, the following stand out:

The stoic/gruff performance of Ed Asner as Lou Grant in the Mary Tyler Moore show

Peter Faulk as Columbo

James Garner as Jim Rockford in the Rockford Files

George Wendt as Norm on Cheers

Carol Burnett...in her variety show

Goldie Hawn as the airhead blonde in Laugh-In

Lucy and Ethel, working on the chocolate candy assembly line

Audrey Meadows, just standing there, with her hand on her hip, watching Ralph rant and rave

And who didn't belly laugh at Harvey Korman and Tim Conway in that skit in the dentist chair?

Or the "Elephant Story" on the Carol Burnett show when Conway went totally off script when they were live, and the rest of the cast couldn't keep a straight face

"The Music Box"...Laurel and Hardy won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject Comedy for this one...The boys struggle to deliver a piano up a long flight of stairs. The stairs are still there...I climbed them while on a trip to Hollywood a few years back

Maynard G. Krebs

Most any character from VEEP

Barney NIP IT IN THE BUD Fife and the cast from VEEP and Columbo
