4. Stanley Walker
Will and Grace.

You saw his foot one time when Karen and him were in the bathtub but I think that was it.

62. He was the first character I thought of too!
:rofl:

Although, wasn't there also one scene where he was in the steam room with Will where you saw his leg or something?

55. Ah, but we *did* see Vera Kreitzer Peterson
In season five, episode nine, "Thanksgiving Orphans" — the one where Thanksgiving dinner at Carla's house winds up in a food fight.

She was played by Bernadette Birkett, George Wendt's real-life wife.

Here's a screencap:

70. He did and he lied
In the series finale, Higgins proclaims to being Robin Masters, but at the very end of the episode, he whimsically tells Magnum that he had lied about being Robin Masters, leaving viewers to wonder which version was the truth.

23. No, I don't remember any of that.
I sure loved that show when I was in high school...Mystery of the Week and then there was alternating Night Gallery which always, always gave me nightmares. That was the scariest show on TV ever. Those pics on the wall that came alive with dead people knocking on your door, the one with Karen Black who had a rodent pin on her coat that grew large and killed her and all sorts of off the wall scariness.

26. Danny on "The X-Files."
Edited on Wed Nov-14-07 07:11 PM by BlueIris
For the first two years of the series, Mulder called him whenever he and Scully needed some inscrutable detective work done (read: the writers were too lazy to explain how M/S were going to get some kind of random "lead"). I don't know if he made an appearance later than season two, but he might have. We never saw him. Duchovny once joked that Danny wasn't a person, he was "a little gnome that live(s) in Mulder's desk."

28. Larry David on Seinfeld
He was the invisible man on that show, like Brad Pitt's character on Fight Club in the beginning of the movie. You didn't see him but you knew he was there. Any time they showed a character on TV, any time they talked to somebody who wasn't on screen, any time they showed a character but they only showed the back of the head (like Steinbrenner, for instance), that was Larry David.

I think it was a news stand. It was a business with a window onto the street anyway.

78. That one's one of my favorite episodes
Where George sounds crazy but he's actually sane. A classic. And I noticed Larry David as the newstand guy.

Of course, prior to Curb Your Enthusiasm, not as many people knew what Larry David looked like, so it was pretty obscure to most Seinfeld fans.

77. I know they weren't all shown
I only have the ones the ABC actually aired, including the apologetic-sounding announcements made during commercial breaks. You know, along the lines of "You're probably thinking this is the weirdest thing you've ever seen. Don't worry, it's about to become fabulously funny!" It usually just got weirder, though.

I'll look for that laser disc, thanks for the tip.

60. In the first couple of seasons they did it like the movie
and the PA announcer was someone else, they stopped using the PA announcements after a the first couple of seasons.

And I have to correct myself on Frank's wife, I remember now that they showed her in an episode where we saw a home movie of Frank's wedding.

Frank's wife was in a funny home movie of her wedding to Frank; I'm pretty sure the PA announcer was in the episode where he plays a soldier who wants a nose job and Hawkeye calls a plastic surgeon friend to come do the operation.

94. I remember one scene where the Petries, the Sorells
and, I think, Sally and her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Herman Glimsher, were in a restaurant. Pickles was a rather large, rather loud woman.

IMDB to the rescue! She was in four episodes. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790064/

The one I was thinking of was "My Husband is a Check-Grabber."



Nice — she was also in a 1981 film called "Buddy Buddy." :D

80. All those weird visitors on "Soupy Sales"
Disembodied hands at the door, sometimes brandishing a pie. Comedy gold!

85. Tino on 'My So-Called Life'
I loved that show. I'm scared to go back and watch it now, for fear that it won't live up to my memories.

88. Carol Burnette's grandmother, and the rich man on that old B/W show about
"what would this person do when given $1Million?"

I don't remember the name of that show (The Millionaire?) or if we ever saw the rich man.

Carol: "Elsewhere, of course, the familiar story of her youth is recounted: Born in San Antonio, Texas, to an alcoholic father and a mother who later became one herself, she was raised in Los Angeles, largely by her adored grandmother, for whom she developed that famous ear-pull that ends all of her performances to this day."

http://newsfeedresearcher.com/data/articles_e45/ide2007.11.05.19.29.35.html

I don't know if you can count her grandmother as a character or not, but I love her ever-present tip-of-the-hat to her.
